About Me

Hi, I’m Liz – mum, Pilates instructor and nutritional therapist.

​

I decided to train as a Pilates instructor after moving to West Sussex several years ago and couldn’t find a local class to join. I hadn’t done any structured exercise since having my children and decided it was time to reclaim my body. The only classes I could find were either in membership health clubs (expensive!), the local leisure centre (25 people packed into the room and I couldn’t see the instructor…only went once!), or local classes that were ‘not for beginners’!

​

I decided the best option was to re-train and run my own classes in local halls, and I haven’t looked back.

​

I’ve been teaching Pilates classes since 2016. On a personal level I feel so much stronger and more confident in my body and my physical ability. I stand taller and walk better, I am toned and my baby belly has completely gone. I am amazed in myself that the things I found almost impossible whilst I was training, are now achievable.

​

I don’t pretend to be perfect with my clients – Pilates is a work in progress, and there is plenty that I still can’t do! But what I try to offer are inclusive Pilates classes that anyone can join and find beneficial – male or female, old or young, a complete beginner or someone who already exercises regularly. I want everyone to feel comfortable – we keep it light-hearted and everyone works at their own level. There are no perfect bodies or bare skin, just wear what you are comfortable in.

​

My classes are suitable for a range of abilities, with something to suit everyone. Pilates moves can all be taught at many levels so within every class I aim to give options so there is something that works for you. However, if you are feeling a little unsure or have not done much structured exercise before, start with my gentle beginners class. This is slower with plenty of explanation to introduce you to the Pilates moves, with a focus on flexibility, posture and breathing, which will gently increase your range of movement and strength.

If you are interested in joining one of my classes please get in touch.
