Carol Hall

Instructor

Carol has always pursued fitness activities, including swimming, running, strength and aerobic exercise. Like many working mum’s, finding time for herself was always a challenge but she made time to work out, even whilst working full time and bringing up three boys, mainly by co-ordinating her activities with the boys own out of school activities.

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in her early 20’s. Pilates enabled her to maintain a level of fitness and a feeling of control, enabling her to manage the impact of her condition and recover more quickly following surgery or other issues.

Carol hopes to inspire others with their own challenges by showing how fitness - and Reformer Pilates in particular - can help you manage and overcome these difficulties. She says that we can all surprise ourselves with what we can achieve - regardless of our age! - with a bit of determination and self-belief.

“I really enjoyed my first sculpt class with Carol. I didnt feel pressured to do the harder moves, amd she was very reassuring when I was trying new things and was a bit worried about falling. Thanks Carol!”

Marta Romao

Instructor

For Marta, fitness has always been an important part of her life.

After discovering reformer pilates, she was drawn to its mindful, empowering and supportive energy. Her experience inspired me to begin her instructor journey with a goal to bring enthusiasm, empathy and attention to detail into every class she teaches.

Her genuine care for each individual member is reflected in the welcoming and supportive environment she created. Focused on building strength, control, and confidence, expect to feel stronger and more comfortable in your body.

“Excellent studio. I look forward to my lesson every week and I find the sessions vary, so I get to work on all parts of my body and strengthen and mobilise. The instructors are all knowledgable and tailor the exercises to your level or adjust them if you have any problems each week. I would highly recommend”

Kay Crewdson

Instructor

With a background in TV and radio, Kay brings confidence and presence to the reformer stage, she loves how it creates space to switch off and focus on breath, control, and core connection. As a busy mum herself, she loves helping others, at any age, feel stronger and more connected to their own bodies.

I have attended over 100 sessions and would highly recommend this excellent reformer pilates studio.
When I started I was struggling with complex chronic health conditions and had not been able to exercise for years. Kate and the team tirelessly adapted the classes and the strength and general wellbeing I have achieved since has been hugely transformative.
The classes are varied and the instructors all keep things fun so that the time just whizzes by. I also find the instructors really attentive, meaning I can exercise and challenge myself with safety and confidence.
