“I have been attending Millie's pilates classes for over two years and also have had some individual sessions in her well equipped studio. I think that it has benefited me in many ways : I am definately more flexible ,have better muscle tone and feel overall fitter. But also, most importantly, Millie is a great teacher and motivator so I really enjoy her classes each week because she is always encouraging and continues being innovative in the way she teaches.
I can honestly say that I have truly enjoyed every class and each individual session with Millie…”

“I started classes about 9-10 months ago, and noticed the benefits very quickly – fewer pulled muscles in the garden and definitely fewer aches and pains! Pilates has made a big difference in all areas of my life, including my yoga practise, increasing strength, stamina, and confidence. It has been really helpful to be able to focus on specific problems Last but not least, Millie makes the hard work great fun!..”

“The arm circle and shoulder exercises Millie advised me to carry out have made a noticeable difference to my neck and upper back pain. My upper back and neck do ache when I have to stand for any period over 10 minutes or when I am involved in work on the computer or on my sewing machine. When this pain starts I take time to repeat the exercises and the pain diminishes within 5 minutes…”

“The work I have been doing in Pilates with Millie Dobie has got rid of my back and shoulder aches, allows me to get up and down to the floor and to work kneeling and bending over. She has helped me to walk without a stick and to walk straight and upright and improved my balance which was very shaky..”

“Sitting in the departure lounge, waiting for our flight to board for the shoot, sipping a cool crisp glass of Sauvignon, it could be said that Millie seemed quite an ordinary woman. You could tell that the crew were immediately at ease with her, but her enthusiastic energetic vibe was infectious. If you met Millie on the street, it can be said that she has one of those disarming looks, you know, one of those looks that puts you at ease right away. Friendly, honest, open, but delve a little deeper and you will see a focused, driven, multi-talented individual with a lot to give.
Part of her accessibility is in the way she plays down her achievements, to the extent that if you don’t listen out carefully you will miss them! For instance, she will casually drop into conversation that she had a small part in Lord Of The Rings. She will shy away from the fact that she has trained UK’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. She will play down the fact that she had a role in a famous UK soap and that her father is Biritsh 'acting treasure', Alan Dobie. She will certainly try and protect the names of the rich and famous that she trains now from her exclusive studio in Suffolk, England.
And yet, when it comes down to it, we knew we’d found a brand new presenter with the pedigree, stamina, creative flair and lust for life who could provide the basis for some credible DVD concepts as well as fit into our exclusive stable of highly talented artists….”
