Louise

My name is Louise and I teach Pilates, Zumba and Aerobics classes and am a Pilates Personal Trainer in and around Stamford, Lincolnshire. I have been working in the fitness industry since 2004 when I was inspired to train as an Exercise to Music instructor at my local gym. I always loved being fit and healthy but it was exciting to realise that I could make a career out of it! In 2010 I qualified to become an Advanced Pilates Instructor, this was a lot of hard work but thoroughly enjoyable. It allowed me to intensely study the human form, allowing me to be fully confident in training all types of people. I was rewarded with the highest Pilates qualification in the UK, Level 3 in Mat Pilates Advanced. This then led me to become a Pilates Personal Trainer where I teach lots of different people, of all ages and abilities. Having built a good reputation as a Pilates specialist, most new clients are referrals from other clients, chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists and GP's  Underpinning all classes is my's focus on knowing each client individually. The fun of teaching Zumba classes soon followed! Zumba is such great fun to teach, in my classes we have such a laugh and a good old sweat! 
I teach  classes in  Stamford, Barnack, Empingham, Ketton and Edith Weston. I also teach private and shared Pilates sessions.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with the royal family today and all those who loved our Queen. A woman of dignity, integrity and elegance who will be sadly missed by so many.

It has been announced that the Queen’s State Funeral will be held on Monday 19th September.  As an expression of our respect and gratitude for a life lived selflessly and with grace, there will be no classes that day.
May she rest in peace.

It has just been divine to be back to classes this week and to see you all – even with the heat, we’ve worked out tremendously!

However with having two weeks off with being poorly with covid, time has flown incredibly fast and without a blink of an eye, we are on holiday from Wednesday 20th – Wednesday 27th July, inclusive, which is next week! Wow it has come around really fast.

So luckily there will still be classes on Monday 18th July and we will restart on Friday 29th July.

Apologies for being away, coming back and then nipping off again but when the sea calls who am I to ignore it?!!

So I shall see you on Monday 18th July – I know that this is going to be a really hot day however I thought we would make sure that we would do a sensible level of exercises with plenty of water breaks and air flowing through the various halls.  I hope to see you there, if not see you back on Friday 29th!

Take care everyone

Well hello everyone, I have some very exciting news for you!  On Wednesday 11th May, our classes will be moving from Ketton Congregational Hall to South Luffenham Village Hall.  I decided to move the classes as the hall at Ketton was becoming a little too small for us and I was having to turn people away, so it was with a sad heart as we have been at Ketton for 12 years.

However the hall at South Luffenham is absolutely perfect for us – it is just the right size for both classes, its warm, clean and modern as it had a revamp during lockdown.  One way it was modernised was by putting in bifold doors which means we can throw the doors open in warmer weather and perhaps even hold classes outside??  The toilets are beautiful too!

I am also changing the times of the classes to what they were before the pandemic – so we will now be starting Dancefit at 915am and Pilates at 1030am

The address of the hall is:
Hall Lane
South Luffenham
Rutland
LE15 8NN

It is really rather easy to find and is only 2/3 minutes outside of Ketton.  If you carry on the road out of Ketton (A6121/Luffenham Road), go straight over the roundabout before you get to South Luffenham, once you enter the village you take the second turning on your right.  This is also the turning for the Boot pub so I think there is a sign for the pub which you can follow.  The village hall is opposite the pub’s carpark where we have been allowed to park our cars.  I will put my A board out and will keep an eye out for you all!

Pilates at Little Bytham Village Hall

On a Monday morning at 10.45am- 11.45am we meet at Little Bytham Village Hall for a mixed ability Pilates class.  The class caters for all levels of abilities and ages and is an extremely fun and friendly class! In the Pilates class we spend the first part of the class warming up and setting up the body, we then go through a whole host of exercises. These Pilates exercises tone up the whole of the body and we also work on flexibility and posture.  At the end of the class we have a relax and stretch which is a great reward after the class!  All of the exercises and stretches in this Pilates class at Little Bytham will be explained clearly, in order to make sure that you understand the moves.  Please remember to go at a pace that you feel comfortable with, there are lots of different levels with all Pilates exercises so you can find a level that you feel comfortable with.  The beauty of this class is that the numbers will be limited to ensure a small class.

 

Please contact me to book your place

Really sorry to say that I’m having to cancel next week’s classes – we were all ready to dance and plank our way through next week but I think that it may be the best idea to cancel the classes, I want to keep us all as safe and sound whilst the levels of covid are on the rise. Wishing you all such a lovely Christmas and thank you SO SO much for your support, it means so much to me! See you in January!

You absolute wonderful people have been such a fantastic support for all of my classes over these last 5 weeks, I cannot thank you enough!

Our Pilates class at Carlby on a Monday morning 930am is getting rather full and lovely so I’ve decided to put another Pilates class on afterwards just for the 4 or 5 weeks before Christmas!  How great is that??
So our new Pilates class will start on Monday 22nd November at 1045am and will run until either Monday 13th or Monday 20th December inclusive (depending on when we stop for Christmas).  The class will run for an hour and will cost £8 or you can come as part of our existing 5 week package)

If you already come along to the 930am class, would you like to swap to the later class, I know that some of you like a later start, plus it would give you more room in class – please get in touch to book your place!
