Real women. Real recovery. Real confidence.

After multiple surgeries and a total knee replacement, I never thought I'd regain my strength or confidence. With Fiona's guidance, I've learned how to move safely, adapt exercises to my body, and rebuild my mobility. I can't kneel or bend my knee fully, but with BRIO!'s gentle, practical approach, I can still do movements like squats and press-ups in a way that works for me. Fiona has taught me to trust my body again, and that's been life-changing.

During the recovery period following successful hip replacement surgery, I still needed rehabilitation. In particular, the muscles in the affected leg were not as strong as before, and my balance and confidence when walking and climbing stairs were affected. After following Fiona Brown's gentle, step-by-step exercises, these conditions were greatly improved. Not only was there progress over time, but her clear guidance and encouragement helped me feel confident continuing the exercises at home following along on BRIO!.

5 months ago, I was unable to walk more than a few steps, couldn't sleep or even tie my own shoelaces. Thanks to the PRO Plan (with the exercise component taught by Fiona) I have gained enough knowledge that I now have the tools to take care of my back, prevent injury and avoid pain. My back feels stronger each day, and I feel more confident and less fearful when exercising.

I love Fiona's individual care in a class. One size does not fit all, as we're all different ages, sizes, shapes and have different levels of fitness and goals. Fiona offers manageable adaptations for everyone, so you leave with a sense of achievement and don't dread going back.

I first trained with Fiona 16 years ago, at the very beginning of my Pilates teaching career, and I can genuinely say that I would not be the teacher I am today without her. She gave me the knowledge, confidence and foundations that have allowed me to build a career I love, and ultimately, to run and develop my own successful Pilates and Yoga business. Sixteen years on, I still regularly find myself drawing on things Fiona taught me all those years ago.

Fiona has a very special ability to see potential in people, often before they can see it in themselves. Her encouragement and guidance gave me the confidence to develop my own business and to set goals that I once believed were beyond my reach. She combines extensive knowledge and experience with warmth, patience and an incredible ability to bring out the best in others.

Fiona and I worked together helping persistent back pain sufferers to achieve a lasting solution, and in creating a training programme for fitness and movement professionals wanting to help low back pain sufferers. She is a pleasure to work with, creative, thoughtful and caring, and very experienced. One of my most challenging patients, who had had three lumbar disc surgeries and was very scared of doing the wrong movement, credited Fiona with helping her regain confidence in everyday movements and rebuild her strength. That was almost a miracle.

I am now moving better and feel a lot happier in myself. Being new to exercise, I found BRIO! worked for me right from the very first video.

I have been a fan of Fiona's for more than 20 years now. She is a highly skilled fitness instructor with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the human body works. Her approach is particularly effective for ladies of a certain age, increasing bone strength and ensuring ongoing flexibility and balance. However, women of any age will benefit from her sensible, tried and tested programmes. Fiona has a talent for making people feel good both physically and mentally with her cheerful and confident approach.

I would so recommend working with Fiona. She gives you loads of ideas to keep you fit and healthy, and with Fiona, you'll never be disappointed. She takes you back to what exercise is all about, the simplest of movements done with precision and control, to make it perfect.

I love the way that Fiona explains the purpose of each movement, starting with a simple guided instruction, then layering additional information on top, step by step. Fiona's knowledge and experience in knowing exactly how to teach each exercise ensures that a safe and effective approach is always taken, leaving you feeling taller, stronger and able to move well. Highly recommended.

Working with Fiona has really helped me recover from breast cancer, and has been the perfect complement to all my other fitness, which is weight training and running. I could not have got through Couch to 5K without her teaching.

Having suffered from back problems for a few years, I have found that regular stretching can help prevent my back going into spasm, and also relax it whenever it does feel tight or sore. I used to find floor exercises difficult, particularly turning onto my side and getting up off the floor, but Fiona's guidance and support has made this so much easier and smoother. Having access through BRIO! to Fiona's Nice and Easy Stretches whenever and wherever I like is a great boon, as it helps me manage my back and just generally feel better.

Fiona Brown has the uncanny ability to spot where the body may be in stress and how to help the person resolve it. She draws on her extensive experience in the fitness industry, as a dancer, a personal fitness trainer, a fitness teacher and a Pilates educator. Fiona has worked with physiotherapists, personal trainers and fitness coaches, and all have benefited from her experience and knowledge. Fiona has an excellent eye and knowledge of the body, and can see where posture is out of balance and what is necessary to correct it. She is the consummate teacher, able to explain what she is doing in simple terms that make sense. Many people have "aha" moments when they work with Fiona, and they may never see the body in the same light again. Once your eyes have been opened, they cannot be closed again.

Fiona is boundless in her support and enthusiasm, from my first tentative enquiry she is the coach and mentor who just keeps giving. Her passion, drive and enthusiasm are what make working with her such a fabulous and rewarding experience.

A 60 minute mentoring call with Fiona totally transformed how I felt about my business. I'd been going round in circles trying to build a shorter working week without letting anyone down. Fiona brought perspective, played devil's advocate, and helped me see I was just as important as my clients. I came away with a new timetable, a plan for pricing, and permission to let go of classes my heart was no longer in. A huge weight lifted, and I had real clarity about what I wanted. Highly recommend if you're unsure how to move your business forward, Fiona brings solutions, clarity and real peace of mind.

I am a 66 year old woman with Parkinson's. I feel completely safe exercising with Fiona. She knows her stuff and conveys it in an easy to understand and entertaining manner. The classes improved my posture and energy. I have signed up for the next block and am looking forward to the classes.

I've had lower back pain, abdominal muscle separation and pelvic floor issues since I had my son four years ago. I've seen improvements in all three over the last few weeks. I'm standing taller and consciously adjusting the way I stand. Fiona's class was the perfect environment to learn how to heal and do something constructive for my body, and mind.

Every week I left your classes feeling more toned and taller, but what was more surprising was how the classes also helped me de-stress. I guess concentrating on the mind body connection gave my mind a break from the everyday stresses.

Asking Fiona to mentor me in the effective use of social media was one of my best ever decisions.

The Offline Marketing Masterclass was jam-packed with ideas that don't involve social media. Even though I've worked with Fiona for 13 years and seen most of them put into action over that time, it's easy to forget just how many ways you can successfully market your business when you're busy with the day-to-day tasks. It's easy to rely on social media, but this masterclass gave me the boost I needed to review my marketing plan, especially as so many people are now leaving social media platforms.

The Q&A Calls and Hot Seat Calls with Fiona are an invaluable part of the programme. Fiona really does give you her all, and you're made to feel welcome, as well as a valuable individual member of the group.

I thought you would like to know that I have sacked my most negative Pilates client ever. First time I've ever told someone Pilates is not for them. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do that.

I really can't think what state my body would be in, especially my back, if I hadn't met Fiona. I could hardly walk without getting spasms, my neck, my shoulders, my whole body ached. Now the difference is amazing. It gave me the courage I needed to lose weight, and I've done that too. I can just walk and walk and walk. She has an amazing way of explaining things without ever making you feel like an idiot for not understanding. I really do not know where I'd be without her. She's never, ever going to get to retire!

I had a one 1:1 session with Fiona, and immediately felt understood and safe to try out some Pilates movements. It was an amazing transformation for me!

I heartily encourage anyone who has had breast cancer treatment to try Realistic Pilates with Fiona for themselves, and feel the difference!

In my work as a hairdresser, I need full movement of arms and shoulders, and I feel Fiona really helped in a practical way, giving me confidence in how far to go and what was safe.

I am a 75 year old who has enjoyed every Pilates class of Fiona's I have attended. I feel I have more mobility and can now reach and stretch further than before I started. I certainly come away feeling very relaxed and looking forward to our next class. I enjoy the fact that it is a small, friendly class, and that Fiona explains everything in an easy to understand and follow way, keeping us focused on the exercises in a relaxed and friendly manner.
