I'm Pippa, married with four children, one cat and three dogs. 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 Rustington Esporta and Durrington 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 participants, I now focus on small groups where the emphasis is on personal development.

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

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

In December 2010 I completed my Studio Pilates qualification and am now pleased to be able to offer 1:1 sessions at my private studio in Goring, using Gratz equipment.
