The people in the room with you.

Paula founded the studio, with Emily and Helen teaching alongside her. Between them: APPI Matwork and Level 3 Reformer certification, a Sport & Exercise Therapy background, and over twenty-five years in physiotherapy. With five reformers in the room, whoever is teaching learns your name.

STUDIO OWNER / FOUNDER

Paula

Hi, I'm Paula, founder of Core Reformer. I'm a Reformer Pilates instructor and fitness coach, passionate about helping women feel stronger, healthier and more confident in their bodies. My approach goes beyond the physical and I believe movement should feel good, build confidence and support your overall wellbeing. At Core Reformer, I've created a welcoming, supportive space where women can focus on themselves and discover what their bodies are capable of. Whether you're new to Reformer Pilates or ready to take your fitness further, I'm here to support you, and I look forward to welcoming you to the studio!

Reformer Instructor

Helen

Hi, I'm Helen! I discovered Pilates in 2010 after having my first baby, and I've loved it ever since. I qualified as an APPI Matwork instructor in 2019 and completed my Level 3 Reformer training in 2025, and I'm really enjoying covering classes at Core Reformer. With over 25 years as a physiotherapist, I work in a regional Pain Clinic, and my classes have a calm, relaxed feel with a full-body workout that will challenge and invigorate you. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me walking, running or cycling along the canal, enjoying a Kickback coffee or taxi-ing my two girls to their sporting activities!
