I'm Pippa, married with four children, a cat and two Beagles. We live in Goring-by-Sea, West Sussex. 

I began working in the fitness industry as a fully qualified Exercise to Music instructor, teaching a variety of aerobic classes and later qualified as a Gym Instructor and enjoyed working with clients in the use of gym equipment and developing programmes for health and fitness gains. 

In 1999 I was introduced to Pilates by Michael King from the Pilates Institute. After training with the Institute and gaining the Matwork qualification, I began teaching classes as one of the only qualified Pilates teachers in the area.

With the demand for Pilates growing, I was invited to teach at both the Esporta and David Lloyd clubs, where classes with in excess of 200 clients per week were taught.

Having now left the large clubs, where the class sizes were upto 25, I now focus on classes with a maximum of 12 participants where the emphasis is on personal development.

During 2006 - 2008 I retrained with Body Control Pilates, and now hold my level 3 advanced instructor qualification, which is the new fitness industry required standard for Pilates Teachers.

For my personal and professional development I regularly attend 1:1 studio sessions, matwork classes and workshops at Ocean Wave Pilates Studio in Hove, Studio Pilates in Storrington, Ultimate Pilates in the Worthing area and at the Body Control Pilates Studio in London. 

In November 2009 I began my Classical Pilates Studio Training, covering the Pilates system from beginner to advanced, utilising all of the apparatus invented by Joseph Pilates.
