WELL, THIS WASN’T IN THE PLAN!!!!!

An ACL injury. Surgery ahead. And a whole new challenge to navigate.

As a PT, strength and conditioning coach and Reformer instructor, movement is such a huge part of my life. So, naturally, this changes things.

But here’s what it hasn’t changed: my mindset, my determination or my belief in what our bodies are capable of.

My focus now is prehab building as much strength, stability and function as I safely can before surgery, so I can give myself the best possible starting point for recovery.

I’ll be adapting how I work, how I train and how I coach, while learning to practise a little more of what I preach.

And I’ll be honest: it won’t always be easy.

But one thing I’ve learnt as a strong midlife woman is that resilience isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, focusing on what you CAN do, and taking the next step.

I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a community of strong, supportive midlife women who remind me every day that we’re better when we lift each other up.

So, I’m going to document this journey ,the prehab, the training adaptations, the setbacks, the wins and everything in between.

Because strength isn’t just about lifting heavier or running faster. Sometimes it’s about rebuilding, adapting and trusting the process.

Different challenge. Same determination.

Let’s see what this next chapter brings.

PILATES WITH A LITTLE MORE ABOUT IT 😜

If you’re looking for Pilates that actually feels like a workout, you’re in the right place.

My North Holmwood classes bring together everything I love about Pilates ,strength, control, mobility, balance and core with a more athletic edge.

Think Reformer-inspired movement, strong sequences, challenge and a good bit of sweat… all on the mat.

TUESDAYS | 7:30-8:30am
REFORMER INSPIRED PILATES
Strong, controlled and challenging. Using a variety of small equipment (slider central)

WEDNESDAYS | 7:00-8:00pm
ATHLETIC PILATES BY CANDLELIGHT
A challenging full-body Pilates workout, finishing with breathwork to bring you back down and leave you feeling reset.

SATURDAYS | 9:00-10:00am
ATHLETIC PILATES
A strong Saturday morning session to start your weekend well. ( grab yourself a great coffee and awesome sourdough on the way home from MOSS )

Sculptors Dance Hall, North Holmwood

I’ve been a little quiet about these classes over the summer, so I thought it was time to put them back on your radar.

Different classes. Different vibes. Same Sam’s Fitness approach strong, purposeful and never boring.

If you know, you know. If you don’t… come and find out.

IT’S NEVER JUST ABOUT THE WORKOUT.

What an amazing summer we’ve had at the studio☀️

Summer Sizzlers, Rise & Reform, early mornings, challenges, plenty of sweat… and A LOT of laughs!

But looking back over the last year, what makes me most proud isn’t just the classes.

It’s the COMMUNITY we’ve built together. ❤️

There have been laughs, tears, stories shared, life chats, friendships and so many moments of simply supporting each other.

This week, one of our lovely clients called Pilateso her “safe space” and told us that coming in early, spending that time with us and then heading off into her day had actually changed her day.

And honestly… that means more than any before-and-after ever could.

Because yes, we want you to feel stronger.
Yes, we want you to move better.
Yes, we want you to challenge yourself.

But WE AREN’T HERE JUST FOR THE AESTHETICS.

We’re here for YOU.

And recently I’ve realised just how much this community gives back to us too.

The last month has been difficult for me and my family following my dad’s diagnosis. And walking into the studio, seeing your faces, teaching, laughing, moving and being surrounded by this amazing community has genuinely helped me through some really tough days.

I’m incredibly lucky to be part of something that gives so much to the people who walk through the door and gives so much back to us too. ❤️

So yes, Pilateso is Reformer Pilates.

But it’s also connection, support, laughter, friendship and showing up for each other.

Apparently… it’s a safe space. 🥹❤️

And that means more than you probably realise.

Thank you for being part of what makes the studio so special

One of the things I love most about being a PT is seeing women support women across every stage of life.

Today started with an incredible group of women in their 40s, 50s and 60s showing up, working hard, and proving that strength has no age limit.

My last class of the day was with a group of 16-17 year old girls building confidence, learning new skills, and discovering just how strong they are.

Different ages. Different journeys. Same energy. Same encouragement. Same community.

This is what group fitness is all about creating a space where women lift each other up, celebrate each other’s wins, and grow stronger together.

Just back from an incredible kayaking and trekking adventure in Croatia with three amazing women aged Pip 54, Clare 56, Sally 60 and Me 51.

We joined a mixed group of strangers, many much younger than us. We camped under canvas, kayaked for hours each day, hiked in the heat, climbed over 600m of elevation, laughed until our sides hurt, and embraced every challenge that came our way.

What makes this even more special is that one of the women, Clare, is heading into surgery next week for a fully ruptured ACL. Most people would have cancelled the trip. Clare didn’t. She adapted, persevered and completed every activity. A true force of nature.

I’ve personally managed a significant lumbar disc injury, and the other women have their own stories, aches and challenges. None of us are “perfect”. None of us are trying to look 25 again.

What we are is strong.

Strong enough to participate.
Strong enough to say yes to adventure.
Strong enough to trust our bodies.
Strong enough to support one another.
This is why I believe in group fitness.
Not because it changes how you look.
Because it changes what you can do.
The friendships built over years of training together create confidence, resilience and a community that carries far beyond the gym floor.

Fitness in your 50s and 60s isn’t about slowing down.

It’s about continuing to live fully. Here’s to strong women, shared adventures, and proving that age is never the thing that holds you back.
