I am a Pilates teacher, Emmett Advanced Practitioner, Emm-Tech tutor and Breast Cancer Rehab Coach and I absolutely love what I do. You are learning so much all the time, especially from people’s bodies.  I do a lot of CDP as the more you learn the more you want to know, that said I am always careful not to diversify too much. I specialise in Pilates for people with back pain (I hold Premier Global’s qualification in exercising for low back pain) rehab, the older independent adult and women in the 3rd age (peri and menopausal). I find my Emmett blends in so with what I teach and of course I do stand alone Emmett therapy. My business name is Challenge Fitness.

CHALLENGE FITNESS PHILOSOPHY

For me, fitness and health is a passion. Bodies love to move.  I work with each person as an individual, to determine and achieve your health and fitness goals.  I look at the whole person, not just a part and so your work-life balance, objectives and nutrition are all considered. I also have a network of other professionals to whom I can refer if necessary.

One aspect unique to me as a Pilates instructor in Wokingham is that I am also an Emmett practitioner. By looking at how you move, where you feel tension perhaps due to injury or habit I can apply Emmett therapy to improve how your body functions/feels. It is a powerful combination when added to Pilates/back care exercises.

I’ll work with you to:

• learn/ practise Pilates and improve posture and instil a feeling of well being
• achieve your objectives
• improve balance, stability, mobility
• relieve tension and feel greater comfort in your body and emotional well-being

Corporate training days for both Pilates and Tai Chi Fit are also offered. Enhance your employees well being and reduce stress levels by introducing such sessions into the workplace or for team building or other corporate days.
