Think of Mat Pilates as a weekly MOT for your body. In class we learn how to align our joints so we can move as efficiently and easily as possible. In High Intensity Pilates we challenge our coordination, combining the precision of Pilates with the health benefits of a cardio class.

"I’d never done Barre before so didn’t know what to expect, but Jo explains the movements clearly and offers directions on technique. It’s a challenging class, even for a veteran fitness goer, but there are scalable options throughout. The best thing about the class though, is that it is fun. I consistently get the arm and leg movements out of sync, and we all just giggle about it."
"I was worried starting Barre as I'm 56 but with Jo's support I always leave the class feeling motivated and energised. Everyone is friendly and welcoming."
"Barre with Jo is always just the right balance of fun and challenge. She has also helped me to adapt movements in pregnancy so that I can carry on exercising safely. I would absolutely recommend her classes to anyone!"
"I started Barre with Jo to try something new and I love it, I can’t recommend it enough. She’s so professional, smiley and she definitely gets us working- I love feeling the burn!"
Since doing barre with Jo, I feel stronger and fitter. She's so welcoming and friendly and always offers helpful modifications for anyone that needs them. Most of all, her classes are fun!
ABout Jo
I have been passionate about movement from the age of 2 and a half. Back then it took the form of dancing which I then made my career - initially performing and then teaching. Keeping strong, fit and flexible is pretty important for this and, like a true child of the 90s, I started out doing my mum’s Jane Fonda tapes in the living room alongside her.
I found Pilates in 2007, becoming a qualified teacher in 2009 to complement my dance teaching. The precise, flowing and above all - logical - movements have kept my body injury free through dancing, marathon running, cycling as well as more recently IVF/pregnancy + childbirth. Barre came along in 2015 and the combination of the two is not only ideal for clients but for me as a teacher too!
