Jo Bridge Fitness Reviews 

Really enjoyed the Pilates class at Chapters Book Shop in Chester with Jo. Brilliant class and great for all abilities. Jo’s classes are always very friendly and inclusive, making it enjoyable for everyone. Would recommend Jo’s classes. After class we were able to have a glass of wine and buy a book if we wanted to. Look forward to the next one.

Fantastic Pilates session at beautiful bookshop on the rows “Chapters”….
As always Jo makes the class suitable for all abilities and a very relaxed and inclusive atmosphere….
Followed by rose wine and book browsing…
Fab evening thanks Jo xxxx

I enjoy Jo's Pilates classes in the UK but to do them in the wonderful resort of Playitas in Fuerteventura was something very special. Sunrise Pilates was particularly amazing!
Jo provided a variety of Pilates classes and workshops which were themselves inspirational but in between there were all manner of classes and sports available in the resort itself. The company was brilliant and the food delicious.
Thanks Jo for organising such a great experience - hope to do it all again next year.

Last week I went on my first pilates retreat with Jo. What a wonderful experience. The planning was top notch, the venue (fuertoventura) magical and the company excellent. Oh and I loved the pilates too :)

Thank you Jo for a beautifully curated holiday. I'll remember the sunrise pilates for a long long time and keep the week's laughter and friendship in my heart xxx

I’ve just returned from my second Pilates retreat with Jo Bridge. From start to finish it was organised perfectly, with the ideal balance of fitness, relaxation and overall wellbeing.

Jo’s Pilates classes were fantastic, but the real highlight for me was her workshops. They gave me the chance to slow things down, focus on technique, and really understand the movements properly, which made such a difference.

It was such a positive, energising 5 days and I came home feeling stronger, refreshed, and motivated. Highly recommended!

I had such a wholesome experience on Jo’s Pilates retreat (Jo Bridge Fitness) in Fuerteventura. Everything was so well organised from start to finish, making the whole trip feel relaxing and stress-free. The schedule had the perfect balance of Pilates, downtime, extra optional resort classes (many free), and time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and Spanish sunshine. We ate like King’s, the food was plentiful, the variety amazing and we were all ravenous after all the exercise and fresh air.

The Pilates sessions were fantastic. Clear instruction, supportive guidance, and suitable for all levels with plenty of options. Jo managed to challenge and encourage everyone while making every class enjoyable and accessible.

What really made the retreat special was Jo herself, aka Wonder Woman! Warm, friendly, approachable, a wicked sense of humour and genuinely caring, she created such a welcoming atmosphere for the whole group.

I came away refreshed, recharged, and feeling like I’d got my moJO back! Lots of lovely memories and new friendships. I’m already rebooking for next year and would highly recommend Jo’s retreats to anyone looking for a fun, supportive, and uplifting experience.

I attended Jo's retreat in Fuerteventura last year. It was so wonderful I came back this year and was not disappointed.
Thank you Jo!

Jo organised a Pilates retreat in Fuertuventura and it was really enjoyable. It was all planned perfectly from the hotel booking to the mix of Pilates classes. I would defo go again.

Blissful Pilates retreat in Fuerteventura with Jo, not being a Pilates regular I had no idea what to expect but the care taken to create such a rejuvenating, blissful & joyful experience was amazing, Jo is a kind & generous teacher who deeply cares and created the most wonderful five days. I will return!

I recently attended the Align and Revive half-day retreat and left feeling truly refreshed, grounded, and peaceful. The retreat was beautifully led by Jo and Lena, who each brought their unique energy and expertise to the experience.
Jo guided us through the first half of the day with Pilates and balance training, blending mindful movement with strength and stability. Her teaching was both energising and supportive, offering clear guidance and helpful modifications to suit all levels.
The second half of the retreat, led by Lena, shifted us into deep relaxation with Yin yoga and a soothing sound meditation. The transitions were seamless, and the use of props was thoughtful and generous, making it easy to settle into each pose fully. Lena’s calming presence and insightful cues created a nurturing space to completely let go.
Throughout the retreat, both Jo and Lena were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their attention to detail and ability to tailor the experience to each person’s needs made the day feel personal and accessible.
It was the perfect balance of movement and stillness, effort and ease. I left feeling not only physically aligned but mentally revived. Highly recommended.

Having started at Jo’s Pilates classes several months ago, and already beginning to feel the benefits from that, I decided to go along to her half day Align & Revive retreat. Another excellent Pilates workout from Jo followed by deep meditative yoga stretches and “Sound Meditation” from Leena. A good combination if you already do Pilates, and looking for the ultimate chilled out experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere

Attended the half day unwind and align workshop 6/7/25 and had a really great time. Everything was well planned out, the location was perfect and Jo was extremely welcoming and helpful. I found the sessions very beneficial and would highly recommend any future events

Jo is such a great Pilates instructor, she explains movements really well and the retreats are great, I have been on two of them now. They are not only relaxing but fun and the other people there are really nice and friendly.

I regularly attend Jo’s Pilates classes at the Northgate Arena, Leisure Centre, Chester as I know that she’s such an enthusiastic and thoughtful instructor who is eager for us all to realise the benefits to our health and well being that this slow, controlled and repetitive type of exercise ( Pilates) can bring and she does it in such a relaxed manner.
Jo prepares well for classes and takes a layered approach to the moves that she actively encouragers us to master so that we are all able to make improvements to our posture, balance and core strength and mobility regardless of any health, mobility and skeletal limitations we may have.
Jo has the skills to take account of the mix of ages and mix of abilities within her classes and will personally assist individuals when required. Her personality and approach doesn’t make you feel inadequate or intimidated in any way, so you do get the most out of the classes. This is reflected in the regular attendees she has and how comfortable and relaxed everyone is in the class; reflecting her emotional state.
I attended a Pilates Balance workshop on 25/5/25 and, wow, was it a challenging experience for someone who finds balance extremely difficult, like me! Again her approach was calm and relaxed and humorous which put everyone at ease and what a lovely interactive class it was, and so enjoyable but yet so challenging… would recommended it for anyone. .
Over time Joe will only get better as she only wants us to get better!

Really welcoming in PT classes. Keeps the circuit of activities fresh and provides individualised support to get the most out of the exercises.

I attended Hygge Pilates with Jo and it was a cosy and relaxed class, complete with the most zen relaxation section and finished with a lovely hot chocolate. Jo makes you feel so welcome and the whole experience was first class. I have done other classes with Jo and her knowledge, friendliness and calming demeanour makes her a cut above the rest. Getting to see Jess for all the doggy cuddles is the icing on the cake. Thanks Jo!

Hygge Pilates - who knew there was such a thing? I certainly didn’t until last night when I attended a small group class at Jo’s fitness studio. Jo promised Pilates in a cosy setting and that’s what she delivered; relaxed, levels for all abilities, fun and more individualised than larger groups.
Session was followed by meditation, hot chocolate and laughter rounding off a complete body and mind training session. Thanks Jo.

Friendliness and helpfulness of Jo, who watches your movements and gently corrects you when you are not managing the correct posture or movement. So you really get the nest out of each session. Pilates is such a help to me.
The candlelight session was a lot of fun, but each session is tailored and really helpful.

A beautiful workout in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The candles were an excellent addition to the class. Jo, is very good at making Pilates enjoyable to all levels of fitness and always gives adjustments for those of us that need it.

I have been going to Jo’s circuits classes for about a year now and I absolutely love them! She puts so much effort into the planning and every session is different. She is so helpful and is able to adapt any movement/exercise for different abilities. Thanks Jo!
