I've been doing Pilates for a while and decided to try Ocean Wave Pilates in Hove. What a difference it's made working on classical Pilates equipment! I'm feeling stronger and more toned than ever before. I love it! Paul has been in the business a long time and his experience shows. His team are so encouraging and supportive… I look forward to every session!
As a doctor who is used to keeping herself fit, I found the lethargy and aches of pregnancy difficult to manage. I thought I would give pilates a try and ocean wave came recommended. The environment created is professional, calming, friendly and light. It is always a pleasure to attend sessions and all instructors are welcoming and knowledgable. During the course of antenatal sessions that I attended, I noticed a significant improvement in my flexibility, strength, posture and confidence. Not only do the sessions leave me feeling I've done a workout but I also come away feeling relaxed and revitalised. I have met some lovely people including other mums to be - an added bonus. The teachers are careful to challenge you but not push too hard and are guided by how you wish to progress - each work out is individualised, like having a personal trainer. I would thoroughly recommend ocean wave to pregnant women looking for a way to stay fit and for anyone looking for a great toning session in a small friendly group. For me, the flexibility of booking sessions meant that I could easily fit pilates around a busy working schedule. Thank you to Paul, Jason and the team - I will be back for postnatal pilates!Moreexpand_more
I had lower spinal surgery before Xmas and had lost all confidence in my movement and flexibility post surgery. I am a usual fit, healthy, and confident 40 something year old female who naturally gained weight over this difficult time also. I don't usually do 'gush' however, within 15 minutes of the professional environment that Paul and Jason create on my first session I was totally sold. The attentiveness you receive in this peaceful haven is second to none. After my surgery I was advised to attend a very expensive physio clinic in Brighton, with hindsight I would have benefited far more attending Ocean Wave Pilates classes. You feel safe, cared for, relaxed and not at all intimidated by your lack of movement nor body shape. Paul and Jason I wish you both every success in your amazing business and will continue to highly recommend you. I can't thank you both enough how you have made me feel in such a short space of time.
I've attended Max's Saturday class for many years now and I couldn't possibly imagine my life without weekly Pilates. Max (as well as Paul and Jason with whom I've taken classes)is very very knowledgeable, gently corrects your form and leads the class with a healthy dollop of humor. I've also noticed that the classes attract nice, friendly people whom I'm pleased to chat with before and after each session.
I have attended my first group of sessions at Ocean Waves and can highly recommend it. All the instructors I have met have been knowledgeable, kind and delivered their classes clearly so I feel sure that I am doing the exercises correctly. I really look forward to my Saturday morning sessions and have just booked up for my next set. Thank you.
Without a doubt, the BEST Pilates studio in all of Brighton. I cannot recommend the studio enough: in just a few months of classes, I've seen a dramatic diffence in my posture and body shape. Paul Mclinden and his staff of instructors are not only friendly and fun, but highly trained and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this studio to anyone wanting to try Pilates for the first time or for those that have been practicing elsewhere that want to experience the REAL THING. Classical, professional, and in my opinion, the best Pilates on the southcoast. Highly recommended.
Thank you to Paul and all my great teachers at Ocean Wave. I am loving my new Pilates mat classes and am already feeling stronger and my tummy is getting flatter week after week! The studio is small and friendly, the class sizes are perfect so I always feel very well looked after. I recommend Ocean Wave to my friends wanting to do Pilates. If you have never tried it, this is the place to learn!
Of the all of the businesses, nominated for the award “Brighton and Hove’ s Best Place to Keep Fit” we felt Ocean Wave Pilates was a really deserved winner. We were impressed by the calm, friendly atmosphere offered in their classes, as well as the expertise and enthusiasm of the instructors – these were people who clearly know what they are doing, and very much enjoy sharing their passion for Pilates. We were also impressed by how well they cater for different levels of fitness – progressing from absolute beginner to advanced. Having classes for all abilities really makes Pilates more accessible, especially to the younger generations. Upon further discussion with the instructors, we established that it was the long term goal of Ocean Wave Pilates to increase the profile of Pilates in Brighton and Hove, bringing the benefits to all ages and abilities – something we felt was a very worthy cause. - The Teen Verdict Award: Brighton and Hove Judging Team.
Paul and Jason have taught me pilates on many occasions, and each time I have found the sessions really informative and have helped me with ongoing issues with my posture and lower back. The studio is very well equipped and they are always friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend Ocean Wave to anyone looking to try pilates.
Without a doubt, Ocean Wave Pilates is the most professional and experienced Pilates studio in Brighton and Hove. All of the teachers are extremely knowledgeable about the Pilates method and I love the fun atmosphere of my small group equipment studio classes. Master Pilates trainer Paul McLinden has certified hundreds of other Pilates teachers around the world and his level of experience is unparalleled. After about 3 months of classes on the Pilates reformer and Cadillac, my body shape has completely transformed! I've become so much stronger and leaner thanks to the great instruction. I highly recommend Ocean Wave Pilates and encourage you to give it a try!
I love this place! I've always had a decent body, but Paul and Jason have helped me take it to the next level. Their expertise, awesome studio and gentle guidance have given me incredible core strength, not to mention a confidence that I didn't have before. I always look forward to my next session because I love the way I feel afterwards.
I have just compelted my second block of Equipment Studio Sessions and I can honestly say that I am relly delighted with the results. I can now stand tall and even walk with no pain. I am no longer reliant on pain killers and anti inflamatory tablets. I can whole heartedly recommend Paul McLinden and his team. My core muscles are so much stronger and my whole well being haa vastly improved. I look forward to my sessions each week and my posture is improved after each session. Thank you so much Stephen Hale.
My husband and I have been attending classes with Jason for just over a year and hate to miss a session. We both feel the benefit and my husband had lower back problems which now are a thing of the past. Jason makes the sessions very enjoyable and tailors each exercise to individual ability. I would recommend Ocean Waves to anyone.
I had terrible back and posture problems from playing golf. Someone recommended I did pilates and I'm so pleased I found Ocean Wave. My back problems have stopped and my overall posture and well being have improved no end. All the instructors and brilliant and explain everything perfectly.
