“We love Gratz apparatus at the studio because we provide the best Classical Experience which can only be obtained with the best apparatus - Gratz! Becky trained on other equipment but once she tried Gratz, knew she had found the best! The quality of the apparatus is unsurpassed and fits every body in the studio from Becky (petite at 4’11”) to some of our clients at 6’+. ”

PEOPLE

Becky, our Studio Owner, has been teaching Pilates for over 15 years. She has trained with the best including Uno Pilates and Everybody Pilates and has taken seminars with Mejo Wiggin and workshops with Jay Grimes and the Vintage Pilates Team amongst others. Her years of experience make working with her a challenging but fun experience. She is adept at finding the right exercise to challenge your body and get the best out of you! “I love to help people feel their best and reach their goals. There’s nothing better than a client telling me they feel taller or stronger or more connected – sometimes after just the first session”. 

Nicola, our Senior Teacher, loves anatomy and enjoys working with muscle imbalances including scoliosis. She will make you laugh whilst pushing you to find deeper connections in your body. 

Amanda is currently completing her pre and post-partum certification and really loves to help pregnant ladies get the most out of Pilates. If you’ve just had a baby and are returning to the fitness arena then she’s your gal!

Carrie is our most junior teacher but don’t let that fool you. Carrie was a client of Becky’s before training as a teacher and is now working towards her final assessments. Having come from a background of severe back pain she has a deep understanding of how that feels in your body and how to help you as she has helped herself. 

Sophie is the newest member of our team. She has lots of experience teaching mat and is currently continuing to work on her apparatus knowledge. She’s softly spoken but has an eye for detail and will really hone your technique in each exercise.
