    "What do I like most about Pilates? The fact that I can really feel my body working. I might do 250 crunches but my body is so used to them that I don't really feel them. With Pilates, I can really feel [my abdominals] even if I only do six or 12 repetitions." - Joan Collins, actress and writer, who first started doing Pilates over 20 years ago

    "I do Pilates four or five times a week. The benefits are subtle, but it increases your flexibility and really tones you up. It also straightens your spine and improves your posture. In the past eight years, I've grown more than two and a half inches.. I am 5' 7" and I am very pleased with that" - Belinda Carlisle, singer and pop icon

    "Now I have muscles of steel and could easily deal with giving birth." - Hugh Grant, actor and film star

    "I'm a Pilates person. It's great. I had a hip problem. I had a chronic back, a pinched nerve and a hip problem and it's completely solved all of it. I love it. It makes me feel like I'm taller." - Jennifer Anniston, TV and movie star

    "I've been using Pilates for many years. It's the best system I've found for isolating and strengthening individual muscles without stress to the joints." - Patrick Swayze, movie star

    "Pilates is the only exercise programme that has changed my body and made me feel great." - Jamie Lee Curtis, movie star

    "Lying down doing breathing exercises for one and a half hours a day is not easy. But I believe it is making a difference." - Seve Ballesteros, the Spanish golfer with a chronic back problem

    "I don't like to waste time. I want to spend it doing the best possible thing for me. Pilates has given me the greatest returns. It sucks your butt up, tones the legs and shoulders. Nothing else gives you definition like it." - Lucy Lawless, best-known for portraying Xena, Warrior Princess
