With over 25 years in the fitness industry, my passion is helping women over 40 become stronger, fitter, and more confident. From personal training and Pilates to menopause nutrition, I believe fitness should support your longevity. My coaching style is high energy and motivating, creating supportive communities where we lift, laugh, and thrive together.

I've been teaching Mat and Reformer Pilates for the past 8 months, alongside my full time role in Human Resources. After years of attending Pilates classes myself, I decided to turn my hobby into teaching. I love creating challenging classes, helping clients step outside their comfort zones, and watching their strength and confidence grow week after week. When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me in the gym, travelling, spending time with family and friends, or searching for my next favourite foodie spot.

My name is Fran, I am a fully qualified Barre, Mat and Reformer Pilates Instructor. Prior to becoming an instructor, I travelled on cruise ships as a professional dancer and performed in production shows around the world. Movement has always been an important part of my life and I feel so grateful to be able to share my passions with you all.

I love to teach with a strong focus on the core principles of Pilates: concentration, control, precision, flow and breath. By working with these foundations, I create sessions that help build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance overall body awareness. My aim is for every client to leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and more connected to their body.

Hi I'm Tracey! I'm a Level 3 Personal Trainer, Pilates and Reformer Instructor, and former professional dancer with a background in nursing. I offer bespoke one to one, buddy, and small group sessions that combine resistance training with Pilates for improved strength, flexibility, posture, and injury prevention. Expect effective, safe, and challenging workouts — always delivered with patience, care, and a friendly smile. When I'm not training, I'm in the outdoors or dancing to Disney with my kids!

Hi, I'm Brittany, a qualified Pilates, Barre, and Reformer instructor. Many people know me as Miss Brit, as I'm also a dance school owner with over 10 years of experience teaching dance to children and performing professionally on stages around the world. On the weekends I dance with big DJs, eat fire and walk on stilts! My passion lies in movement driven by music, rhythm, and energy. You'll often find me waiting for the beat to drop before bringing out those killer moves, and yes you can definitely expect plenty of "5, 6, 7, 8s" along the way!
