It was nearly a year ago that I first met Izzy Samuel. By met, I mean that I tuned into her sun-soaked studio from my living room, where I was all set to take on day one of her 25-day Pilates challenge. At the time, I had no idea what to expect. Her workouts had come highly recommended for being challenging, effective and efficient, but, wedded to my studio Reformer membership, my expectations remained relatively low.
It was to my surprise, then, that 25 days later, I’d fallen hard and fast for Pilates by Izzy. My body feeling sore but strong, I was blown away by how much muscle tone I’d built in just three and a half weeks. Aside from a short burst of social connection, I’d missed very little about going to the studio, and had saved myself more than £100 on membership fees and post-class coffees.
