Meet the Experts

Meet Lou

Pilates

Lou is a qualified Polestar and Stott Pilates instructor and has been teaching Pilates for 5 years. 

Lou first discovered Pilates during her mum’s chemotherapy and quickly felt the incredible mental and physical benefits it had to offer. 

“I first knew I wanted to be a Pilates Instructor after seeing how incredible it was for my mum who did it post chemotherapy and reconstruction surgery. It absolutely changed her life and her instructor blew my mind with her knowledge and personality – I wanted to be her. That’s when I decided to train, enabling me to help as many people as possible.”

Lou’s signature teaching style conditions the body with small movements that build strength whilst always keeping alignment at the forefront of each lesson. Her technical expertise and her ability to give really clear explanations make it feel like she’s in the room with you.
