My name is Rachel, and my love for fitness began at the age of 18 when I realised a quick run around the village first things in the morning would set me up for the day! I am a 43 year old mum of two. I have been a gym instructor, personal trainer and Rosemary Conley Franchisee. Being aware of the pressure put on the body through pregnancy, I have gotten myself, and others, back into shape after having children. Having been a long distance runner and cyclist, both recreationally and with clubs, I found that Pilates really improved my running and cycling style, as my core was more stable and I could perform more efficiently. I noticed other benefits too- a flatter and sleeker midsection, and a more sculpted and toned body overall. My posture was visibly better- I actually felt taller! I have used Pilates for my own personal rehabilitation following major surgery and running/cycling induced injuries, and truly believe that Pilates can give you that longer, leaner body without adding bulk. With a career spanning 20+ years in the health and fitness industry, I am extremely passionate about what I do and really enjoy working with everyone, from complete beginners to seasonal athletes. I pride myself on keeping appraised on all of the latest research and education within the industry. My classes are professional, effective and lots of fun, and I truly believe that with a goal and a positive mind, you will make it every time!
