moveOn 89 Studio

Having suffered from some lower back pain, most probably caused by weak core muscles and aggravated by working-from-home during the lockdowns, I've found that attending pilates classes with Dominic quickly eliminated my pain, strengthened my core and I now look forward to attending her sessions in her lovely studio. The group classes which are small enough to allow for some individual attention combined with Dominic's patience and passion have been perfect for a beginner like me.

Absolutely love MoveOn 89 and would highly recommend the studio to anyone interested in developing a deep physical intelligence. Dominic is patient, super knowledgeable and really encouraging. I look forward to every class - even on bad days! You won't regret giving it a go.

Dominic is an absolutely fantastic Pilates teacher. I am able to pinpoint any part of my body that needs attention and she immediately has a whole repertoire of exercises available. I have had Pilates classes overseas and Dominic is better than all of them. In addition Dominic has a wonderful personality. Well done Dominic and keep up the fantastic standard.

Love moveon89! It’s been the post injury safe space that I have truly needed. As someone who has had life long back issues, Pilates with Dominic has helped my back handle the rest of what life throws at it. Highly recommend!

Dominic is one of the best Pilates / Yoga / Fascia and HIIT Teachers I have ever met. She is patient about what she does - and knows probably thousands of exercises for each body problem. Studio itself has a nice atmosphere with just 6-7 people fitting in, allowing Dom to see and help everyone. Once I am back to Cape Town - moveOn89 will be the first place I visit again!!!

Dominic is more than a pilates instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body and brings that knowledge to her clients. I was training for a 5-day hike when I discovered moveOn 89. Unfortunately I had a very bad sprain in my foot and was seeing physios. I was very depressed and I thought that I couldn’t train, thereby missing my hike. Dominic is so skilled in the body that she expertly built the muscles I needed to hike (glutes, etc.) without putting weight on my foot. When I could put weight on my foot, the rest of my body was ready to train because of my sessions with Dominic. I truly think I wouldn’t have been ready for my hike without her skillful interventions. It was truly incredible what Dominic did for me. I have been doing pilates and yoga for 25 years and I know an expert when I see one. Dominic is truly an advocate for her clients’ health and strength. And she is just a lovely person all around. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful studio and Dom is a super teacher. Not only does she really care about every Mover , she makes an effort to tune in to all of our weak areas and injuries and ensures that we work carefully, but hard. I have been coming to this studio for 12 years, and love it!It’s a friendly, caring , safe but challenging space.

I searched for absolute ages to find the perfect pilates studio and pilates instructor for me - and I am still so thrilled that I found it in moveOn89 and Dominic. I look forward to every pilates class and am never disappointed. The atmosphere in the studio is warm and friendly and welcoming ; and Dominic is the perfect combination of being dedicated, professional and knowledgeable, whilst also always being upbeat, encouraging and fun. ( I only survived lockdown due to her daily Zoom classes !). BTW she is also a great yoga and HIT instructor ps I also love her colleague Michal's pilates and HIT classes.

I've only started a month or so ago but I've learned so much about my body and what it can do! Dominic always asks how you're doing and what she can do to help if you have a sore wrist or have back issues. She always finds a way to modify exercises to make it easier for you to join in on the fun.The best part about the classes is that you ALWAYS LAUGH about something Dominic says, it doesn't matter if you're in pain, she always puts a smile on your face with her quirkiness.I highly recommend signing up for her online classes as they are perfect if you want to work out at home and you don't want to (or can't) leave your house!I look forward to each and every class!Thanks Dominic :)
