LifeWorks with Karen & LifeWorks Studio Reviews 

I recently attended Karen's Release and Reset session where the number of attendees are kept to a minimum of 6 to 8. This is a 'hands on' session enabling the nervous system to reset. I found this session to be relaxing. Consequently, have now booked 3 evening sessions of Release and Reset.
In this busy world we all need to chill out, stop and recharge. Highly recommended.

I can’t say I really look forward to Pilates each week, but I’ll do everything in my power to make sure I don’t miss a week. Why? Well after being a regular for some time I can feel the benefits, but mainly because of Karen’s approach. She explains what every exercise is doing for our bodies and has that fantastic ability to set the tone for serious work alongside some humour. Well done every time Karen and thank you 🙏

Karen really knows her stuff
She is always asking how we’re doing and what we need from our class today ! Tailoring to our needs !
Fantastic !

Karen's classes are really good with varied moves each week. She makes sure she knows her clients well so she can adapt moves appropriately to best suit individuals. The small classes suits this style of teaching too. And the classes are fun which I love.

Great instructor and lovely welcoming atmosphere. The classes are well tailored to your abilities. I would thoroughly recommend.

Really great first Release and Reset session. Karen is really informative about fascia and how this might be adding to my stiffness but balances this with practical ways to help. Looking forward to learning and doing more!

I cannot recommend Lifeworks enough. Karen is a truly amazing teacher. The sessions are brilliantly thought out and tailored to each individual, leaving you feeling invigorated, motivated and uplifted. Small classes too which is great.

An outstanding team!

Always leave these classes thankful
I went! Fun, empowering and knowing it’s the right way to spend time - Karen’s classes are the best. Love them.

I finally found the courage to start exercising again after having major abdominal surgery. I began my Pilates journey with Karen in January 2025, easing in slowly with her guidance and encouragement. Eleven months on, I’m really feeling the benefits — I’ve gone from one class a week to two, come off medication for high blood pressure, my body shape has changed, and I can now do moves I never thought I’d manage when I started.

Karen is knowledgeable, patient, and always makes sure everyone works at their own pace safely. The classes are friendly and welcoming, in a safe and encouraging environment. I always leave feeling stronger and uplifted. I can’t recommend LifeWorks with Karen highly enough!

Fun, relaxed class and extra consideration given for my ongoing knee injury. Highly recommend

Fantastic group

It was brilliant thanks, just what the doctor ordered! Thanks so much Karen.

Love the Hatha Yoga class with Hayley - she really is excellent. The classes are very varied and Hayley is an incredibly gentle and informative teacher. It is my favourite hour of the week.

I've been a member of Lifeworks with Karen since the start and don't know how I would manage without her and her amazing classes.

Karen is so much more than a fitness instructor however she is brilliant at that and at giving clear instruction and guidance and ensuring she knows about any previous injuries / surgeries or niggles. She tailors her classes to suit everyone and is constantly checking very subtly so as not to embarrass that the correct techniques are being used.

She is also a life coach and I have attended a couple of her group coaching sessions during Covid when her expertise and her way of gently reframing things to help thinking really came into play.

I cannot recommend her enough. Just give her a call and feel confident that you've taken the very best first step.

I really enjoy Karen’s Pilates classes. She is a very knowledgeable instructor & knows our strengths. She works us hard whilst making the classes good fun.

Great instructor (Nicky). Very motivational and knows her stuff

Really enjoyable class, Hayley has a lovely way of sharing her Yoga knowledge and I felt very comfortable.

Wanted to try as a form of flexibility exercise as have several joint problems, struggle with leg crossing but was encouraged, very much at my pace.

My daughter and I attended the class , it was our first time trying Pilates .
The group was not too big (8) Karen the instructor made us feel welcome and we both really enjoyed the session .
We will be back after our holiday

I approached Karen as struggling with pain and mobility in my hips, it was really getting me down.
I have received personal support from her and have joined the Pilates classes and soul circle.
I feel welcomed and certain that I will feel an improvement in my health and strength .
