Pilates, Core Strength & Conditioning

Hi Maria,  I just wanted to say, I am really enjoying your Pilates and feel we have progressed to much harder stuff since we started and I can do it! Other hard things are getting easier too. And I'm starting to get muscles pop up where I've never had them! That's why I scrape myself up at 5:45am on my day off - because I know I feel so much better for it.  Also, going through menopause now and it's great to stretch out for aches and pains and good tension release. And one more thing, I used to go to the physio for a bad back a bit. Now, if i feel it coming on, I do some of our stretches you've taught us and can generally sort it out myself.  Thanks heaps Maria, as one of your longest standing members! x

Merry Christmas Maria, Thank you for being such a fabulous Pilates instructor. You make it look so easy and we love your positivity and enthusiasm especially so early in the morning! Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas, happy holidays and all the best for the new year (2025)! Best wishes, D Bell.

Eight years ago, I began my fitness journey with Maria, seeking to improve my core strength, balance, and overall health. Little did I know the impact it would have. Under Maria's guidance, I've retained my core strength, improved balance. Pilates has not only kept me fit but also enhanced my mental well-being, leaving me energized and resilient in everyday life. Happy birthday BaseSix Fitness . Thanks so much Maria.

I started regular Pilates/Yoga with Maria from BaseSix Fitness in October 2019 and it has been one of the best experiences for my mind-body. I’ve done yoga off and on for over 20 years with many groups and I have found Maria to be a skilled teacher and communicator. She can adapt to her class that include beginners to experienced, all ages and body types. She gives very clear and precise instructions with each exercise which helps me to focus on the important principles to get full benefits. Taking this time to get the principles right is important to me to achieve a fulfilled workout. The benefits have been fantastic for my strength, flexibility and posture, regular routines 2-4 times a week have become part of my lifestyle again and I’m very grateful. 5 stars Maria Basevi at BaseSix Fitness.

We are loving the Yoga/Pilates classes run by BaseSix Fitness! Maria delivers a range of brilliant practical exercises that are a great way to start the day and provide a welcome relief from the stresses of business! Her calm and clear instructions just make the whole session enjoyable!

Maria is a friendly, knowledgeable instructor and skilled in the delivery of her classes. She is consistently able to meet a range of capabilities, offering different options which she demonstrates and explains clearly. Maria always makes sure she is very respectful when suggesting correction of individual body postures and movements allowing for safe practise and progression comfortably. My own body has noticeably been strengthened, posture corrected and adjusted and also my overall flexibility has improved greatly.

I’ve been doing pilates/ yoga for several years but only just under a year with Maria & she is by far the best. Each move she gives you options to go push yourself harder or ease off a little, so her classes are for every level. I like that she moves around the class to ensure everyone is doing it correctly and discreetly whispers to you to help correct your position, you don’t get that in the big classes with someone on stage. Can hardly wait until lock down is over.

Maria has a brilliant way of making you work hard, but without stress! She explains everything so clearly and always has options for injuries or disability. I have gained so much from her classes, I recommend her to anyone no matter their age, fitness level or physical ability.

I have been attending classes with Maria for 6 months consistently. I have noticed a huge improvement in my strength, tone and flexibility. I find the classes really manageable (as I am not very flexible!) and a good, overall workout. As a Dressage rider, there has been definite improvement in my riding since doing these classes especially in core strength and awareness of using the correct core muscles. Would highly recommend anyone to join Maria's classes. If I can do it- you definitely can!! :)

If you want something different BaseSix Fitness is the way to go. Maria is a fantastic instructor & her classes are great! I am so pleased I have found her.

Fantastic class, love the combination of Yoga & Pilates. Thanks Maria, feeling great after your class. See you next week.
