He has presented Pilates to the nursing school at Liverpool John Moore's University, ran a summer school for Ballerina's and created specialised classes for adults with learning difficulties and physical disabilities, showing Barry's belief that Pilates really is a method that can improve the lives of everyone.

Testimonials:

"I have done Pilates for a few years but really felt the benefits on a whole new level after attending Barry's classes. He really looked after my shoulder complaint and after each class I felt stretched, refreshed and relaxed. I don't usually enjoy exercise but really enjoy Barry's classes, I can't recommend him enough!"
