About Ju

My initial interest in sport and exercise started when I was 6, I swam competitively until I was in my early 20’s. I also dabbled in other sports including Martial Arts, Horse riding, Life saving and Running.

In my mid twenties I got the Triathlon bug and enjoyed Cycle Time Trialling (National championship level), Triathlons (world age group level), running and gym work as part of the training.

I seem to have always had something to do with teaching sport/exercise. It started in my teens, I was volunteering at Swimming clubs teaching and coaching this developed into Full time work (multi discipline), then to part-time whilst holding down another job. Now I do volunteer work, teach swimming to schools, teach exercise classes and enjoy being a busy Mum.

I have been working in the fitness industry for 30+ years, in voluntary, full and part-time roles. I’m not really sure where the time has gone.

I got into Pilates around 2010, I was having back problems and had a number of possible causes. After going from a very physical job role to sitting all day, 2 pregnancies and then the carrying of car seats etc..the years of pushing my body, racing, and hours of high impact teaching everything had taken it’s toll and had made negative changes to my posture.

Pilates has helped me overcome pain, and I feel fitter, stronger and healthier than I have ever felt before.

I teach matwork and studio equipment Pilates
