Hi! I'm Juliet!
I am a Pilates teacher with (can't quite believe this) over 20 years experience in the fitness industry.
Prior to that, I worked in professional showjumping and Polo competition yards and horses were my whole life from childhood. Sport and fitness has always been a huge feature, since my schooldays.
I have two grown up daughters and I live in the New Forest with my dogs Bertie and Gretl.
I love skiing, cycling and hiking with my dogs.
In 2004 I took my daughters out of school for year to backpack around the world, during which time we survived the Boxing Day Tsunami.
So how did it all begin..?
As a Personal Trainer, I launched New Forest Fitness in 2003. Seeing the many benefits of Pilates and with only one other teacher in the area (shows how long ago that was!), I moved my focus and direction, rebranding as Juliet’s Pilates in 2006. I have 7 years teaching Pilates at Lymington Health and Leisure. 6 years at Elmers Court. 6 years teaching at Shape Up Studios. 15 years (and counting) at Limewood Herb House Spa, and since March 2020 teaching online having launched during the first few weeks of lockdown. I also have 6 years' experience working as a teacher trainer.
I continue to work on my own personal training and development, regularly attending teacher training courses and study online.
