*this will be the only pop up I’m hosting this year so don’t miss it!*
Pilates is trending. Meaning the need for instructors is also higher. However, there’s something to be said about easily stepping into a role with little experience and getting paid the same as experienced teachers. Some people will disagree with me here but especially when you’re self employed and are already fighting for better pay. It irks me that newly qualified instructors are paid the same especially when a lot have come from ‘weekend courses’.
For example, when I qualified 5 years ago I actually taught for free to begin with and while yes that was a choice to gain experience I still didn’t receive much when I stepped into studios. In the space of those 5 years a lot has changed while at the same time a lot hasn’t. It seems (to me anyway) new instructors have it a lot better than when I was one. I had to graft to get my name out there and almost earn the right for better pay and work/life balance.
that’s all 🤍
current schedule;
@ Barre and Body / Monday 6.45pm (bookable though me)

A post I never thought I’d make—or even be asked to make—but here we are.
Firstly, I am overwhelmed by the love and positive comments I’ve received regarding my VERY healthy weight loss journey. That said, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’ve struggled with all types of comments and haven’t always known how to respond.
Coming from a background in dance, you can probably assume I struggle with body image. Working in fitness, where I’m constantly in front of mirrors and surrounded by people I could only dream of looking like, made the transition after dance college far from easy. However, one important thing to take away is that being ‘fit’ looks completely different on every body. There was nothing wrong with how I was before—but I wasn’t happy, and it showed. It showed to my family, my husband, and my friends.
I’ve always been your typical “eat your feelings” kind of girl and loved a binge, even though I knew it wasn’t healthy and would send me into a downward spiral. It wasn’t until my friend took a photo of me on my birthday this year (second photo) that it really dawned on me. I wasn’t happy, and I didn’t look like the version of myself I once was. So I made it my goal to change that.
I’d be lying if I said it’s been easy and that I haven’t struggled, because trust me—there have been A LOT of ups and downs. There have been days I haven’t wanted to train, days where I’ve eaten well over my calorie intake, and days where I’ve undereaten, which is another habit I’ve had to learn to break.
I’m incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by the most supportive people, and especially lucky to have Ryan as my husband, who has been through it all with me and loved me unconditionally. It’s been amazing to see my parents focusing on their health this year and to be able to do it alongside them. I’ve especially loved training with my dad every week (even though he’d argue I try to kill him).
I also have to shout out Martin for matching my moods at every training session—because, to no surprise, I’m not a bundle of joy all the time. Thank you for putting up with me and pushing me to keep going.
Anyway, thank you for reading and for being so kind. Love you all 🩷 # # #
