I Love my reformer pilates with Erin. Erin has clearly had many years of experience and her professional friendly approach is so appreciated. The studio environment that has been created is lovely and calming and the classes are never boring. I look forward to every class!

Starting Pilates three years ago with a Joburg-based instructor changed my life. So, when I moved to Franschhoek earlier this year, I felt I was leaving behind my Joburg comfort-blanket.
Instead, I needn’t have worried because I met the lovely Erin and stepped into her wonderful ESP studio. Her studio has a peaceful intimate vibe, with music playing, and with mirrors for me to see how I am doing (and that losing a few kgs may be a good idea😊!).
Erin is lovely - kind, friendly, and calm – and puts me through my twice-weekly routines with a steely smile. I now have my new favourite Pilates comfort-blanket in Franschhoek!!

I can’t recommend ESP Pilates Franschhoek enough.
From my very first class, Erin made me feel completely comfortable and supported. She has such a warm, genuine presence and creates a space that feels calm, welcoming, and free of judgment.
Her classes truly feel like a little sanctuary of serenity.
I’ve been attending three times a week and can already feel such a positive difference in my body — I’m stronger, more toned, and so much more connected to myself.
What makes Erin so special is the way she teaches. She’s helped me learn how to really think through my muscles and feel each fiber working with intention. It’s not just exercise; it’s mindful movement that builds both strength and confidence.
Erin has honestly helped me feel comfortable in my own body again, and that is something I’m incredibly grateful for.
If you’re looking for a Pilates studio that nurtures both body and mind, this is the place. Joining her classes has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Erin is just the bomb... her studio is beautifully decorated and her machinery state of the art. She has a lovely demeanour with a wicked sense of humour. The routines are never boring and I look forward to every session. Erin is highly professional and knows her stuff! I totally trust her with my old injuries (and new ailments!). Highly recommend EMS.
