💙 MEET THE TEACHER 💙
Here's Jen... who teaches Pilates, Reformer, Barre & Yoga.
Jen has always had an affinity for movement, she spent her childhood dancing 5 nights a week, completing exams in ballet, jazz & tap, competing in dance festivals and performing in shows. As an adult her passion for dance continued as a member of an adult dance group during the evenings, whilst working as an Intelligence Researcher for Surrey Police during the daytime.
In 2012 Jen took a leap of faith qualifying to teach Zumba. This ignited a love for teaching fitness and she went on to gain instructor qualifications in Body Balance & Barre which further inspired her to make a complete career change. She then qualified as a Personal Trainer in 2014 working in the gym at Surrey Sports Park.
Jen’s passion for Pilates developed shortly afterwards during the rehabilitation of a personal injury and she qualified to teach mat Pilates in 2016.
After several years working as a PT and teaching various classes at studios, schools & leisure facilities, Jen fulfilled her ambition to train as Yoga teacher gaining qualifications in Hatha, Anusara, Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra in 2020.
During the pandemic Jen moved from Guildford to Wiltshire and started teaching for Precision in June 2021.
Jen is particularly passionate about promoting the benefits of exercise for mental health and loves supporting others to become happier, stronger more mobile versions of themselves.
“It’s so rewarding having the opportunity to help clients live more fulfilling lives through exercise and meditation.”
Last month Jen qualified to teach reformer Pilates and is very excited to be working with clients in our lovely reformer studio.
Jen's favourite Pilates exercise is the Scissors. “I love the triple challenge of the scissors in working stability, strength and flexibility at the same time, plus it’s fun!”
In her spare time, Jen loves landscape photography, dancing, reading, writing, photography, art and countryside walks.
