Leonie qualified as a matwork pilates teacher in 2010 having undertaken a nine-month training programme with Body Control UK. She established a successful pilates business in the UK having 100+ clients on her books. During this time, she also undertook various continuing education programmes including Pilates for Pregnancy and Pilates for the Older Person.
She then achieved her Master Matwork Teacher qualification, in the spring of 2011 and is one of only a few teachers in the UK to have this advanced teaching qualification, enabling her to teach the original classical matwork repertoire.
She has since undertaken further specialist training on pilates through pregnancy and post partum with Leah Stewart and Ashley Ritchie of BASI Pilates in LA, California, arguably the premier pilates teacher training organisation in the USA.

Unfit mummies offers pilates matwork classes specifically geared towards mummies. It’s an obvious thing to say – having children completely changes your perspective on life and, importantly, your body. Many women get the urge to start an exercise programme when they find out they are expecting and often, again, after they have recovered from the whirlwind of welcoming that lovely new face into their family, but will any old exercise class do? Well, not really.
Pregnancy and childbirth result in very common but very important postural and physical adaptations that have to be considered throughout the whole of any exercise class that mummies do. This can be the case even years after the birth of a woman’s last child.
Leonie has undertaken specialist teacher training in pre and post natal pilates and has a ton of specific exercises in her repertoire geared towards mummies. As a mother, your body is unique and special as you have given life to little people. You need a unique and special exercise programme too.
Last but CERTAINLY not least, Leonie is a mummy. She had her first child by c section and her second by natural birth so she has firsthand experience of a lot of the issues faced by mummies in their journey to get and stay strong. Let her help you today.
