Welcome to my studio
Hello everyone!
My name is Lianne, the founder and owner of The Pilates Studio. Allow me to tell you a bit about my journey and how the Pilates Studio became the community it is today.
Always a fitness fanatic, I took a huge gamble after my first baby, abandoning my IT job, office chair and comfort zone, by moving into the fitness world.
I trained with the YMCA as an aerobic and step instructor, threw on my leg-warmers and built up a fitness business bringing Step into physical education at 15 schools around London. Alongside this I taught Body Pump, Balance and Combat Classes.
Unfortunately, all this heavy exercise took its toll and after suffering continual joint injuries and back pain I saw an Orthopaedic Consultant who prescribed orthotics and that was it…. my life changed.
I aligned my focus on rehabilitate and restorative fitness, having heard about Pilates through the media, I began researching… and I never looked back!
I qualified with Michael King in 1995 and went on to be a Stott instructor 1997.
As a young mum with (now) three beautiful young children, I became driven to start my own business and so the Pilates Studio was born.
Started from our family living room, and now 25 years later we are one of the longest standing Pilates Studio’s in Hertfordshire!
Offering 20+ group mat classes, Individual Coaching, Back/Rehab programs and now through Covid19, a full and varied online virtual classes timetable together with extensive library of recording to suit all levels.
Fast approaching 60 years old, still with all the enthusiasm, vibrancy, energy and determination of that 35 year old, I have built up a thriving local Pilates Studio and love each and every day of it.
Friends ask if I ever get bored teaching the ‘same thing’ for 25 years… and I can say with complete honesty….never!
