Reformer Pilates has helped a primary school office administrator lose weight, build strength and improve her sleep.

Jo Worrall has spoken about how joining Macclesfield's Gravity Pilates has helped transform her health and wellbeing.

The 56-year-old was inspired to give Pilates a go by her daughter, Lily, who is an instructor at the studio on Bridge Street.

Congleton resident Jo said: "Gravity encouraged me to keep going and push myself.

"It is a very friendly atmosphere with lots of likeminded people who encourage each other as well as the expert and motivational instructors.

"They helped me me maintain weight loss and gave me the energy to do more outside of Pilates, as well as improving my strength, muscle definition and flexibility.

"Pilates has also helped with sleep, generally elevated my mood and helped me to focus on healthy eating."

Jo was presented with an award celebrating her progress at Gravity's recent summer party, held at Suburban Green on Chestergate.

Asked what message she'd have for those thinking of giving Pilates a go, Jo said: "Definitely do it!

"There are people of all ages and abilities at Gravity.

"It is a really friendly atmosphere with no judgement, everyone supports each other and has a laugh whilst doing it!"

You don't just have to take Jo's word for it.
