Testimonials
Will Malloy, NRL Sydney Roosters
"Overall through my Pilates training program, I feel that my core strength, stamina and recovery time has improved significantly. The fundamental part of it all personally would be the breathing and engaging the core through exercises which Sara really emphasis the importance of, while also teaching and demonstrating how to use that both in her Pilates training and within my sport of rugby league.
Other improvements I saw was my front and side plank strength increase after having a shoulder reconstruction. This has helped me fast track to getting back onto the field playing with more confidence.”
Oliver Lawry, NRL Manly Warringah Sea Eagles
"Sara’s breathing exercises were great to use on the training field, to be able to recover in the short amounts of breaks we get during play. Her Pilates techniques helped me tune into my body, switch on and easily gain mind-body connection for better clarity and focus as well. So I felt really set to go for my sessions.
The way Sara designed my program to work in with my rugby training at the time, helped loosen up my body (specifically - hips, ankles, lower back) and increase my mobility. The extra attention she gave helped me to be able to feel free yet with more power when running around, while also helping with my recovery massively. The best!”
Reformer Pilates Client, The Sporting Club Of Sydney
"For all the golfers out there, I would thoroughly recommend Sara Mac. She has helped me work on my core strength, improve my shoulder-turn through exercise and worked on moves to create greater club- head speed and therefore increased my distance and stats in my game by 30%. I have found that my recovery after playing golf is also enhanced with her specififc way of teaching her Pilates and my back is now less painful after a round or two”
PT Client, The Sporting Club Of Sydney
"As an athlete recovering from long covid, Sara was able to accomodate for my specific needs. Her expertise is so diverse and I found that her focus on core work and breathing really transferred to increasing my performance in my sport as a swimmer. Through Pilates fitness cross trained with PT, seeing regular results and real progress helped me feel motivated and confident again. She is incredibly responsive, encouraging and professional. Working with her was very rewarding."

"Sara's edeptness in her practise, boldness, creativity and insight displayed on and off the pilates mat is truely remarkable and an inspiration for others. Sara is a natural leader. I have personally watched many clients gravitate in her direction enthusiastically, wanting to share in her knowledge.
I can say without hesitation, Sara would be an asset in any pilates setting. She makes things fresh and fun in a natural and compelling manner, that both inspires and appropriately challenges clients. She is clear on her instruction, engaging and connecting, offering balanced, safe and sensible sequences allowing an extra-ordinary experience. Many from her class have come to me and raved about her style of teaching.
In my opinion, Sara's strengths are her natural enthusiasm and creativity and her inner drive to evolve as a teacher and person which she does with humility and genuineness of her heart."
