Student testimonials

  • "I first started seeing Brooke for her Pilates classes. This came after my Rhabdomyolisis incident in my legs. My legs were so weak I had lost all the muscles, I found walking a challenge especially up stairs and my energy levels were very low which lead me to sleeping a lot in the day. Brooke really helped get me back on my feet by working with me to gain my strength and stamina back. I can now walk without any troubles and we are working towards getting me back running. I’ve found working with Brooke absolutely amazing, she is really passionate about what she does, her knowledge is second to none, always researching to find new ways to help you! She’s very attentive and in tune to your needs and is always making sure you’re OK. Love every part of work with her. Thank you Brooke I’m forever grateful x"

  • "I first attended a Pilates class with Brooke a few years ago after being treated by a physio for a back problem.  I don't know how I ever survived without her classes. I am 73 years of age and through her thoroughness and extensive knowledge of the body she has helped me to continue to be active by dealing with all my many problems that have arisen. I have a condition that causes me to suffer from nerve pain and through her understanding and help it no longer bothers me as much as in the past.  I also have had trouble sleeping for some time and felt constantly tired which was affecting my day to day activities.  Thanks to regular massages I can now say that my sleep has improved so much that I am now enjoying life much more.  Whenever I have had an injury be it major or minor, Brooke has always been there to encourage and support me through it and I feel I have come out the other side as a stronger person in many ways.  I am extremely thankful for the individual attention and encouragement she gives and the time spent in researching ways to keep me moving. "

  • "Brooke’s extensive Pilates knowledge, massage skill and wonderful demeanor has helped me reduce persistent back pain and manage it. She has provided me with a body awareness that helps me in my everyday activities, and for any surfers out there Brooke’s tailored sessions have significantly improved my paddling, balance and the speed I can get to my feet."

  • "During my extensive rehabilitation with my injury, with all of Brooke's help I recovered stronger and fitter than before. She was so kind, understanding and her knowledge of the body and muscles, as well as the Pilates foundation was incredible. After recovering, I have continued on with Brooke and thoroughly enjoy all forms of classes; online and in studio. She is so informative and such a genuine person looking for the best out of each of her clients."

  • "Three months ago I couldn’t walk to the other end of my house without pain. Today, on Mother’s Day I took my three kids and walked about 4 kilometres to a lookout and back... Pain free!! I haven’t been able to walk, jog, swim or go to the gym with my injury. Pilates has been the only safe exercise I’ve been able to do. It is purely thanks to Brookes weekly class (and that sharing of knowledge in between!) that has got me to this point. Today I felt strong and like my body was able to hold itself together. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to feel like that. I can’t recommend Focus enough. I still have a way to go, but am confident Brooke can get me there and get me there safely."

  • "When a change in life circumstances led to me giving away long ocean swims 4 days a week, and then suffering from a bout of bursitis of the hip, I was recommended to a Pilates mat class being offered at a practice in Ulladulla. It was there that I met Brooke, who ultimately became Focus Pilates and Massage. Brooke has changed my life with her knowledge and enthusiasm. I am 72 years of age and after attending Brooke's mat class for 2 years now I can honestly say that I feel 20 years younger than that. Through Brooke's guidance and with her astounding knowledge of the body structure and how the body works, I feel fitter, stronger and more energetic and supple than I have ever felt in my life. As well as leading her class through an hour of sometimes challenging poses, strengthening muscles we didn't know we had, she also has a warm and caring way and a wicked sense of humour which makes the classes fun to be in. It is my intention to attend Brooke's mat classes for as long as I am physically able which I'm hoping will be for many years to come."
