Hello

'My body was tired, and I was injured...'

​

“I started teaching fitness in my late teens, first as football coach and lifeguard, then moving on to Aerobics and Personal Training in private gyms and health clubs. After years of athletics, and teaching 20 + classes a week my body was tired, and I was injured. As much as I loved dance and fitness, I knew I couldn’t keep this kind of exercise up until retirement age. I spent more money on fixing my back than sometimes what I got paid. I found a wonderful Classical Mat Work teacher called Amy Kellow who inspired me to train with her. I was lucky enough to eventually be given a position at her studio. Amy trained regularly in America with the Pilates master trainer (Jay Grimes) that been a former student of Joseph Pilates and the Classical system. I thought that Pilates was going to be easy, I was very wrong. Hooked from my first session, I turned my passion into a new career.”
