Penny Gorman

After nearly 30 years as a Primary School teacher, transitioning into Pilates felt like a natural and exciting next step. Teaching has always been at the heart of who I am, and I now blend my love of learning, connecting with people, and passion for movement in every class I lead. I am qualified in Mat Pilates level 3 and level 4 and in reformer Pilates.

As a qualified UK Athletics Leader in Running Fitness and an experienced long-distance and ultra-marathon runner, I discovered Pilates and Reformer training many years ago to support my own performance. It has been transformative — strengthening my core, improving resilience, preventing injury, and just as importantly, providing space to reset and calm the mind.

I truly believe Pilates is for everybody, at every stage of life and fitness. Whether you’re new to movement or looking to enhance athletic performance, I’m passionate about helping you build strength, confidence, and balance in a supportive environment.

When I’m not in the studio or out running, you’ll likely find me open water swimming — especially embracing the invigorating cold winter dips!

I very much look forward to welcoming you and supporting you on your Pilates journey.
