I signed up for Agi’s weekly program when she first launched it, and I haven’t regretted it at all. The classes are consistently high-quality; she really listens to what we need and always introduces new ways to work the body. Since this summer, there’s a new format: a few more classes per week, but shorter—30 minutes instead of an hour. I love that because, after a long workday when you get home late, committing to a full hour can be tough. Thirty minutes is manageable—whether in the evening or first thing in the morning before heading out. And the best part is that, while the sessions are shorter, they are incredibly effective and intense, incorporating slightly heavier weights (tailored to individual ability, of course). Agi always demonstrates different layers while encouraging us to challenge ourselves.
Combining weights with the usual props really takes the workout to the next level! Plus, there’s still one (or even two) hour-long class each week that follows the classic "Agi’s Pilates" style.
What I love even more is attending the live classes; there’s a real sense of mutual support. Instead of giving up when I’m exhausted, I keep going—we motivate each other. I love that.
As a 44-year-old woman dealing with perimenopause symptoms and genuine joint and tendon issues, these classes are perfect for me; they help build strength while always respecting our body’s limits. I highly recommend that all women over 40 give it a try. And men, too! (Hi David, if you read this ;) )
Thanks, Agi, for your good vibes and great ideas—I can’t wait for the next live session.

A huge thank you to Agy for creating such a wonderful book.I'm truly very happy with it-it is exceptionally well written and clearly explaned.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the biomechanics of Pilates exercises.It is definitely worh having
Agi estoy encantada con el manual de banda elástica, un manual muy práctico y muy bien explicado los vídeos ayudan mucho, que pena qué no estén traducidos al español. Lo recomiendo al 100% para monitoras de pilates. Un trabajo espectacular gracias. Gema de Malaga. España.
Agi is an engaging, clear and concise teacher. The manual is well researched with the personal experience of having had a hip replacement herself enhances the programme.
This manual would be suitable for complete novices to Pilates or advanced practitioner alike, and everyone in between.
Agi is always there to offer support if need.
I can’t recommend highly enough.
I recently purchased the 'Hip and Lower Leg Strengthening Live Workshop Recording' and, although I haven’t completed the entire session yet, I already find it very useful for me as a runner. The exercises are well explained and seem highly beneficial for improving stability and strength in the lower body. One small question: I noticed the same lesson video appears twice in the recording—was this intentional? Overall, I’m happy with the content and look forward to finishing the workshop
I'm more than satisfied.Everything is explained perfectly,and easy to understand. This is much more than a manual. And thanks Agy! I also hope that we see eachother in the future.
This book is truly brilliant! I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time — it’s not just a collection of exercise descriptions, but a rich resource full of valuable cues and insights for teachers. It guides you on how to become a better teacher, how to observe your clients more deeply, and how teaching goes far beyond simply instructing movement.
Agi’s approach to clients — her focus on observation, connection, and understanding — is truly inspiring. I can’t wait to apply some of the wise quotes and thoughtful explanations into my own practice. This manual really encourages you to grow as a teacher and to see beyond the exercises themselves.
This book goes way beyond exercises - it’s full of insightful cues and wisdom for teachers. Agi’s approach to observing and connecting with clients is truly inspiring. I can’t wait to apply her ideas and grow as a teacher who understands more than just movement.
I’ve been teaching for a long time, but I’m always looking for new inspiration and fresh approaches - especially for my one-to-one sessions. So far, I’m really impressed with how detailed it is, with such a great focus on the shoulders, shoulder girdle, and scapula. It’s amazing for helping address spine mobility and strength in a complete way. Can’t wait to keep learning and explore more fantastic variations and progressions for myself and my clients!
Fantastic Manual – thoughtfully written, with clear illustrations and photos, I love the attention to detail — the cueing, the different approaches, and the layered explanations really make it stand out. It's clear that every section was created with care to make the content easy to understand for everyone.
As an instructor, I also appreciate how client-focused it is. We often have clients in with specific problems or injuries that limit certain movements - each exercise is adaptable, whether someone is in rehabilitation or an advanced mover looking to improve performance — it meets people exactly where they are.
I haven’t had the chance to dive deeply into it yet, but so far it’s excellent, and I’m really excited to explore more!
Absolutely Amazing Manual!
I am now the proud owner of the new reformer manualand I’m so excited to dive in! At first glance, it looks incredibly professional - beautifully structured, clear, and full of depth. There are so many exercises, each with detailed explanations and multiple options to explore. It’s obvious how much thought and expertise went into creating it. I can’t wait to study, learn, and keep expanding my knowledge with this fantastic resource!
I didn't hesitate to sign up for this 2025 summer camp because I had already attended the 2024 summer camp and it stayed with me all year. With this course, the quality is always the same, with lots of classes, and I can already feel the change in my whole body: I feel better, I'm stronger, more flexible, a better stability. It really helped me with my sciatica pain that I've been experiencing for almost two years now. I can now walk and I really feel relief in my hip. There are many exercises offered in this summer camp for this kind of issues. And the rest of the body is not left behind, my body thanks you Agi every day.
I’m in my late 30s and used to have back pain. 4 kids later with the last 3 yrs of doing pilates with private instructor, my back pain has improved dramatically. I wanted the ease of doing pilates at home, guided and with simple equipments to boost my weekly exercise routine at home. This routine is such a great addition for whenever I want to do it at home by myself. All the equipments used is so simple yet so effective in targeting all the different muscles. I found out about Agi through Instagram and decided to give her courses a try. The best decision I’ve made since she is very knowledgable in all the techniques and gives thorough instructions in her videos. Thanks, Agi!
Agi’s HIp Rescue Workshop was amazing! As a person who lives in the fitness world with lots of experience in exercise teaching & technique, I learned some new technique twists that made a HUGE difference in the exercises. Agi is an excellent engaging teacher and the three hours flew by! I highly recommend Agi’s HIp Rescue Workshop for anyone who is struggling with tight hips! You will learn exercises that are simple for you to incorporate into your daily life!
The workshop was great! I could not participate online but have been through the recording. As a Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer, I have clients with back and hip issues. The exercises Agi shows on the videos are good, however require some patience and many repetitions for results.
This course is absolutely brilliant. I have a sedentary job, which is very bad for my flexibility, but Agi's course is transformational. She explains things so well, and her exercises get to exactly the right places that are weak or tight. Some of the exercises feel tough at the time, but they're never impossible, and Agi's great at encouragement - most importantly, I feel so much better afterwards, and it's a result that lasts. Agi really is an exceptional teacher with incredible knowledge and experience and I would recommend her courses to everyone.
I’ve suffered from sciatica for a few years, on and off pain in my right leg and it could feel uncomfortable even when sitting. I started Pilates classes about a year ago and, happily, found Agi.
I attended her hip rescue workshop last week and also the hip class 1 day a week. I feel like I have a new leg. I’ve had no pain at all since the workshop. I carry on with the exercises at home and it has really been a game changer. Agi explains everything, why you could have pain, what the exercises will achieve etc etc. Amazing! Between the Pilates classes and the hip workshop/ classes my body feels stronger and, most importantly, pain free! Thank you Agi.
As I age I recognise the need for extra care and exercise around my hips and core area to keep me mobile and active. After attending many of Agi's hip health workshops and seeing the subsequent improvement in my hip range and strength, the availability of this new manual is now enabling me to continue the good work with the aid of on demand teaching from Agi at home when it suits me. With the helpful cues and detailed videos from Agi I know I can practise in complete safety. This is yet another amazing resource for anyone who wishes to generally improve their hip health but is especially essential for those on the hip replacement journey.
I have been going through hip and back pain for a while, I was told I needed surgery but didn't feel I needed it now. I've followed Agi fpr a while and ibwas wanting to give this a go, fingers crossed as her work is great
Wow how amazing I feel after these courses . i've now bought a few ! Agi's way of teaching articulates full awareness in my body and leave me feeling stronger and far more positive about my compensating patterns after hip surgery . And I finally have been able to switch on my glutes which I the back bone of many instability issues I've been having.
I also a sneak a 1-1 with Agi when we both can to support me feeling the benefit regularly which I can then take into my day to day with more awareness .
Thankyou Agi always . it's 10 stars from me !

I would like videos be with descriptions, explanations . It can be useful. But it’s really good materials to use in pilates practice.
Since I begin to practice with this manual with the roller, I felt in love with it! This was the prop I was missing, and I love the way Agi is using it, and as usual, the quality of the manual, the explanations, the videos are very useful to really understand the moves. A must have!
A superb book. Very well considered
