Hi, I'm Gillian! I'm a co-founder of Arch Wellness Studio. Opening the studio has been a dream of mine for a long time as I wanted to bring something I genuinely love to our town. I have enjoyed both Mat and Reformer Pilates for years and I've experienced the incredible physical and mental benefits they bring, and I wanted to create a space where others could experience those same benefits while becoming part of a welcoming community of like-minded people.
​
Although I'm not an instructor, you'll still see me around the studio plenty! I'm the one working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. If you send us an email or drop us a message on social media, chances are you'll be chatting with me. I love connecting with our members and helping make your experience at Arch Wellness Studio the best it can be.
​
My goal for Arch Wellness Studio is for it to be somewhere you can press pause on the demands of everyday life. I want everyone who walks through our doors to switch off for an hour, focus on themselves, and leave feeling more energised, stronger, and happier than when they arrived. Most of all, I hope you'll feel part of the incredible community we're building together.
​
When I'm not working, you'll find me sneaking into a Reformer class if there's a spare bed, walking my dog, planning my next holiday, or spending quality time with my friends and family.
Hi, I'm Megan! I'm a co-founder of Arch Wellness Studio. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to create Arch Wellness Studio was because I believe in creating what you want to see - a welcoming studio where everyone feels included, supported and comfortable from the moment they walk through the door. My vision was to create more than just a place to exercise, I wanted to build a community where people could move their bodies, calm their minds, invest in themselves and connect with others.
Â
I'm also a qualified Mat, Reformer Pilates and Yoga instructor. Movement has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years I’ve explored all kinds of exercise. I truly believe every form of movement has its own benefits, however it wasn’t until I discovered Pilates and yoga while travelling in Australia that I found a style of movement that truly transformed both my body and mind.
My classes are encouraging, supportive and focused on helping you move with confidence. I love seeing clients challenge themselves, celebrate the small wins and discover what their bodies are capable of. My goal is simple: I want everyone to leave class feeling better than they did when they walked in.
When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me spending time with family and friends, cooking, walking, or enjoying someone else's Pilates, yoga or fitness class.
Hi, I’m Alicia! I’m a qualified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor with a background in dance and a real passion for movement and wellbeing. Before becoming a Pilates instructor, I worked at a sports centre and trained as a dance teacher, where I discovered just how rewarding it is to be active, help people move and grow in confidence.
I first began practising Pilates through YouTube workouts at home, before joining classes at a local studio. I quickly fell in love with it and realised how perfectly Pilates and dance complement each. That’s when I knew I wanted to teach it too.
My classes are all about creating a positive, uplifting atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged to challenge themselves. You can expect plenty of laughs, pulses and maybe a few wobbly legs along the way!
Pilates has taught me just how powerful breathwork can be. It helps me feel more focused, connected to my body and grounded, and I love sharing those benefits with others in every class.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me at the cinema, trying out new food spots or planning my next holiday (I just can't resist)!
Hi, I'm Claire! I'm a Level 3 Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor, and I'm passionate about helping people move with confidence, build strength and feel their very best.
​
I discovered Pilates in 2024 and quickly fell in love with how strong, balanced and connected it made me feel. The positive impact it had on both my body and mind inspired me to become an instructor so I could help others experience those same benefits.
​
My classes are fun, welcoming and encouraging, with something for everyone, whether you're completely new to Pilates or have years of experience. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you'll feel challenged, enjoy moving your body and leave every class feeling proud of what you've achieved.
​
Outside of the studio, I work full-time as a Nursery Team Leader and love spending my free time with family and friends, heading out for long walks and catching up over coffee.
Hi, I’m Anna! I’m a Chartered Physiotherapist specialised in Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Health working for the NHS and my own practice, alongside being a Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor (including pre & post natal).
Â
I’ve been teaching Pilates for nearly 10 years, and I discovered it completely by accident! My first physiotherapy job required me to complete Pilates training but it’s safe to say that I fell in love with it and haven’t looked back since.
Â
My classes are all about quality of movement, control and creating a welcoming, judgement-free space where everyone feels comfortable. With my physiotherapy background, I tailor each session to the people in front of me and I’m always happy to adapt exercises and offer a little extra guidance if needed.
Â
I love that Pilates is accessible to people of all ages, shapes and abilities. It’s helped me personally with balance, co-ordination and slowing down to move with my breath, and I love helping others discover those benefits too. My aim is always for you to leave class feeling refreshed and more connected to your body.
Â
When I’m not teaching, you will find me outdoors on trail runs, hiking, triathlon training, spending time with family and friends, or taking my cat, Mr. Bowie, for a walk around the village.
