WELCOME TO THE GAP BOUTIQUE PILATES STUDIO

“Mandi is an Amazing Pilates instructor. I love how she challenges me in every session to do more and to be stronger than the previous one. She cares about her clients’ wellbeing and reminds us to listen to our bodies. In the last 2 years that I have trained with Mandi I have done the unexpected and developed muscles I never knew I had. I have more confidence in the way I look at my body, its gorgeous curves and amazing abilities. I love the way I carry myself.”

“A quick word of thanks to Mandi and her Pilates studio The Gap. I’m sure most people know that the value of Pilates lies in the quality of the instructor and it’s the personal attention given to each student that makes the difference. There’s been a big improvement in my core strength. I go away from sessions full of energy even though we are pushing through to achieve my fitness and flexibility goals. Mandi is the difference though, with her personal attention and focus on each individual, coupled with great humour makes the time just fly by. I hope The Gap goes from strength to strength.”

“As a runner and crossfitter I struggle with injuries and shortened/tight muscles. Mandi goes the extra mile to plan my classes accordingly, always considering and taking into account any weak or injured areas that may need attention. She researches how to address a specific injury and then implements a well thought through strategy. Furthermore, her energy and passion for what she does is addictive, she is always upbeat and very easy to get along with. Her zest for life is infectious and it is rare that I walk out of her studio without her positivity having rubbed off on me. She makes me work hard but I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with her and have benefited both in body and soul. Thank you Mandi!”

“About a year ago when I started Pilates I could not have dreamt that it will improve my performance in other sports this much. The awareness of how to activate muscles in my body, optimize and execute movements was very foreign to me. Mandi has the ability to bring the best out in me. She has such a fine eye to spot incorrect execution of movement. Everyday I am thankful for taking that first step and stepping into the gap.”

“Dear Mandi, I want to express my gratitude for the help and guidance you provided me during my journey to manage my osteoporosis. Your expertise and dedication to your craft have been exceptional, and you have had a positive impact on my health and overall well-being. Throughout every session, you were always attentive, ensuring I was performing each exercise correctly and safely. Each session was challenging but enjoyable, and I felt greater confidence and strength as a result. I want you to know that working with you has been very enjoyable. Your knowledge, support, and encouragement have given me the tools I need to manage my osteoporosis successfully, and I feel so much better physically. I cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. As a Pilates instructor I would highly recommend you to anyone who is dealing with health challenges or who wants to elevate their physical fitness journey. Thank you again for everything you do, and for helping me achieve my goals. Sincerely, Gene.”

“Pilates at The Gap Studio, has been a game-changer for me. Since I started incorporating it into my routine, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my posture and core strength. It’s also helped me manage my stress levels and improve my focus. It’s been amazing for building long, lean muscles for me.”

“Mandi het my geleer hoe om my liggaam te verstaan, brein-en-liggaam verbinding.My liggaam is sterker, my balans het baie verbeter en my postuur is baie goed. Ek is baie meer soepel en vandat ek by Mandi oefen, is my rug en nek pyn iets van die verlede. Ek het vriendskappe gevorm by Pilates en ons kla en lag lekker saam. Al die veranderinge in my fisiese en emosionele welstand is te danke aan Mandi.”

“As a former competitive swimmer and powerlifter, I always focused on strength and explosive movement. But after wrist and shoulder surgery, I needed something different. Pilates at The Gap Studio with Mandi has been the missing piece—helping me refine my stability and recovery through small, controlled movements that make a big impact.

Beyond strength, Pilates has also played a role in managing my severe eczema. High-intensity training often left me depleted, triggering flare-ups, but Pilates provides the benefits of movement without the adrenal fatigue. Combined with a carefully managed diet, it’s helped me put my eczema into remission over the last six months. Grateful for this journey with Mandi!”

“I absolutely love doing Pilates with Mandi at The Gap Studio! It’s been such a transformative experience. Pilates has made me feel so much more positive about my body, stress-free, focused, and full of energy. Beyond the physical benefits, I’ve also formed beautiful friendships along the way. A huge thank you to Mandi for filling the GAP in my life after years of training without seeing any real results. With Mandi as my Pilates instructor, I can finally see and feel the difference – and it feels amazing!”
