From a background in marketing and sales promotion Sally launched her career in the fitness industry in 1999, teaching aerobics, circuits, body pump and body attack in the Surrey area. She qualified as a personal trainer in 2001 and then in 2003 trained in Pilates Matwork at The Pilates Institute in London. She has subsequently added qualifications including pre and postnatal Pilates, rehab Pilates, Pilates reformer and YMCA Trainer and Assessor accreditation to her portfolio. Whilst living in Southsea, Sally worked closely with the Royal Navy Physiotherapy team and established a successful patient rehabilitation referral programme. She then spent two years living and working in Melbourne, Australia managing a Wellness centre and lecturing for the YMCA on their Pilates and Fitness instructor training courses. In January 2008, on her return to the UK, Sally started the Pilates Room and is delighted at how quickly the programme has expanded.

She is hoping to diversify the provision to include instructor training courses to provide the opportunity for people to train to become Pilates instructors themselves.

Sam Edwards, a genuine homegrown talent, who joined our instructor team in August 2009. Sam recently trained as an instructor and has been attending classes twice weekly since January 2007. She was a long term sufferer of chronic lower back pain and had reached the point of invasive spinal treatment. Pilates represented a last ditched attempt to solve the problem. A former gymnast and dancer, Sam was a natural and quickly developed beautiful technique and understanding leading to a full recovery and a genuine belief in the Pilates method.

Tina Westwood

Tina first came to Pilates in 2008, where she enrolled in classes at The Pilates Room, as referred by her physiotherapist (having sustained a back injury as a result of mountain biking). As the back got better, she soon became totally hooked and when the option of voluntary redundancy became a reality she seized the opportunity to leave corporate life as an HR Manager and train as a Pilates Instructor.

She trained with Pilates International and Body Control and began teaching at The Pilates Room in Autumn 2010. She is an enthusiastic and friendly Teacher who is passionate about Pilates and the wonderful results it can achieve whilst ensuring that her clients have fun as well.
