Thank you for the review Mary. Really nicely written. Thank you. Would you be able to cut and paste this exact review on "Yodgee's Pilates and Yodgee's For Kids" Google listing? There are 2 different 'areas' that display under the same business name. Just because this one is more widely used. Thank you and a great session last night! Keep it up!

I recently met Josh and experienced his fine workmanship in pilates group classes. He is impeccable in his knowledge of movement. He is very able and keen to project his abilities to we students of various calibres. Josh takes a personal interest in his group and as individuals he gives it all, no matter what level we are at or what limitations we have. He is a good man. More...

Still a client of Joshua's, and hope to be for life! When I first met Josh through a Pilates class at South Pacific Health Club, he instantly acknowledged me, my history and my needs. Intuitive and proactive, Josh identified that it was my first Pilates class, and that I had serious physical and emotional needs.Upon advising him this was my first time, his immediate response was..."GREAT, I HAVE A PURPOSE!" What an outstanding and encouraging reply, especially from a fitness teacher. Very rare indeed. For all the classes and teachers I have experienced, for fitness and education, Joshua's response was the most memorable and supportive. Still attending his classes and commencing private ones as well, I highly recommend him. His skills, experience and education reach far beyond Pilates, with his knowledge of health, sciences, the human mind, including autism in adults as well as children is so impressive, and contagious. Makes you want to have Josh in your life, permanently. A walking, talking, teaching and caring human cure. We need more Joshua Freedman's in this world! More...

We worked with Josh for almost 5 months and it was amazing. He is knowledgeable and is very accommodating. He clearly created a plan for me and my wife keeping in mind our current fitness levels and in few weeks we could feel the difference.
We just started getting back to the office routine and will be going back to him as soon as the COVID normal routine is set. Above all Josh is a good human being and meeting him first thing in the morning sets a very positive outlook to the day. Josh, appreciate all your help over the last few months and keep doing this good work. See you soon.

Today was my first session with Josh. I have injuries that make it hard for me to stand and walk. But after just 1 session, which was appropriate to my level, I was pleased I worked hard without any pain. Josh was very professional, we had a few laughs also. I felt very comfortable with him. When I got home I felt less pain, and relaxed. He's a miracle worker! And this was only after the first session! I highly recommend Josh. Thank you for making me feel fabulous on my first day!

Lisa - wow, you make me feel so humbled, but at the same time, proud. Proud that I have been able to 'awaken' the hard-working, talented inner-Lisa whose relentless work ethic keeps her striving, keeps her working...(oh, I just realised I have been talking about you in the third person! Forgive me - I guess I just want you and others to know how hard of a worker you are. I know that being immersed previously in the field of physical movement does help you to better understand movement and your body. It also paints a picture for me, that you have not forgotten your roots and your ability to persevere! Keep it up! Looking forward to many more 'highlight-reels' to come!

I have been working with Joshua for two weeks now and his knowledge and experience with techniques & methods to work the body for strength and flexibility is fantastic. He has a great eye to read the body's movement and guides you with precision through each exercise getting me closer to the goals we set out together. On top of that, he is super friendly, always smiling and a great motivator to push the limits. Highly recommend! More...

Thank you for your excellent work Josh. My son is always looking forward to your next session. His physique has improved remarkably since you have started working with him.

Steven, appreciate the review and thank you. It is always a delight taking Andy through his Weights Program, he is always positive about attempting new skills and does it with a smile! All it takes is one demonstration by me and he is well on his way! Keep up the great work Andy!
Sanda
Josh of Yodgee's Pilates & Personal Training for Adults and Kids has been my personal pilates instructor for many years both in a group and one on one setting. Over that time, his work has been exemplary and his commitment, dedication and enthusiasm second to none. He is an excellent instructor who keeps the training program interesting and varied, and knows how to bring out your best effort. I have long worked in the education space and firmly believe that that Josh would be brilliant working with children. They will respond positively to his enthusiasm and passion for the art of movement. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering his services, adult or child. More...

I have seen lots of Physio’s, Exercise Physiologist’s and PTs without results. I am now seeing results and more importantly I am not in pain anymore. Josh has helped me build my core and pelvic stability which has been hugely beneficial to my health. On top being fantastic at his job, he truly cares about outcomes, is empathetic and personable. Seeing Josh is the best investment in my physical and mental health I have made. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Look at where the clients' interest lies. Look at what their favourite past time is. Work with the client, understand them, be open to trying new things. Change is always hard, but it is your perception of change which makes all the difference.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret is to learn and understand how your body works. What fuel it needs, how to move mindfully and to be content with yourself. "Functionality" is deeply embedded in my mission statement to clients. Be functional first, everything else is a bonus!
What do you love most about your job?
The ability to assist clients achieve what they want to achieve. Seeing their reaction to something which they think is impossible! This is very satisfying!
What inspired you to start your own business?
The smile of accomplishment from people who try so hard at something. The feeling of completion and competitiveness which comes with physical activity. Being in a fitness environment (indoor or outdoor) means for the ever-changing scenery, providing a new outlook on life - I want others to experience these newfound feelings!
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me if they want what works. They will be able to experience the principles of many different modalities, when combined - it becomes very powerful combination. Gymnastics, The Pilates Method, Resistance/Weights and Acrobatics, all of which are able to create a movement experience which is very hard to come by. Most of all, you will have fun and love the different teachings from each method of movement.
Movement therapy
- Using movement in conjunction with muscle and joint palpation to promote blood flow to the area.
- Relief of sore and damaged muscle/fascia (jelly like substance that connect all soft tissue in the body).
- Stretching and release of body parts, lying down or sitting.
- Deep tissue manipulation (similar to trigger point therapy).
