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
Manual
Magic Circle is really really good. It is really helpful that you can watch videos,
when you do not get the motion properly. :)
Hacía mucho tiempo que lo quería y por fin lo compré. Muy práctico, muy bien explicado todo, con la información importante del método y el diseño y composición del libro magnífico. Encantada de poder practicar con el.
Me ha encantado, fácil de usar, muy completo en la información. Y los vídeos son un gran plus para el usuario. Estoy muy contenta!!
This was my first purchase but for sure not my last one. 15 years ago I did 2 or 3 pilates lessons in a studio and liked it but somehow I never continued. Until a few weeks ago when I stumbled across Agi's IG account and was fascinated of all her knowledge. Since I anyway wanted some new addition to my regular weight training for joints and overall mobility I thought I'd give this Summer Camp 2024 a chance. From the first workout on I was impressed how challenging these are and how many different variations and methods are possible. Not even once was I bored. Agi is an excellent instructor with enormous knowledge and passion for what she's doing and teaching. She's never tired of giving support if needed. I can only recommend this program and cannot wait to start the next one. There are plenty for everyone!
Excelent explanantion. Love all exercises!
Clear, effective & Inspirational ... thanks Agi
This comprehensive resource will take your fitness to new levels. If you are not familiar with the fit ball you will learn how to become 'friends' with it and build your confidence. Suitable for all levels and it is set out in a manner that enables you to personalise your workout. It has easy to follow instructions and the videos will keep you right. You'll have great fun with this whilst improving your health and wellbeing. Congratulations Agi, this is fantastic.
Agi, you are a wonder! My hips feel light and free, along with my pelvis and surrounding areas. The hip rescue course that Agi ran last Sunday was amazing. After 3 hours of intense work on our hips and pelvis I feel stronger, taller and more confident in knowing how to release the tightness in my hips which is a wonderful feeling. Thank you for your knowledge and instruction, you really did open my eyes and I know take a small ball everywhere I go to help release the tension and pain. I would recommend anybody that can attend Agis workshop to sign up for the next one. Saz x
Was blown away by Agi’s hip workshop yesterday - she is so creative with all her exercises & tricks to get those hips moving - the difference in my mobility afterwards was incredible, as well as the knock on effect on the rest of my body. I feel if I continue to do her hip exercises I should be able to ward off needing hip surgery like my parents had. Thank you so much Agi, you’re a genius!
Amazing variety of exercises and stretches explained well, making it easy to follow. Love the format with examples displayed. The perfect guide on how to maximise the fit ball for pilates. Would highly recommend it!
