Discover or Recover Your Core & Pelvic Floor, more correctly your Pelvic Diaphragm.

This class focuses on targeted, personalised training for your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. You’ll learn how these muscles work, how posture and movement affect them, and how to apply this knowledge to everyday life and all other exercises. The class is flexible, allowing you to work at your own pace and ask questions.

Who Can Benefit

• Postnatal women, even many years after childbirth or C-section.
• Anyone who has never isolated their core or pelvic diaphragm, or wants to refresh technique.
• Those experiencing mild bladder or gas control issues.
• People recovering from surgery, injury, or back pain.
• Anyone wanting better posture, balance, and movement.

What You’ll Learn

Abdominals

• How abdominals function and common misconceptions
• Effects of pregnancy, surgery, and weight changes
• Correct recruitment and engagement of abdominals

Core

• Difference between core and abdominal training
• What makes a strong vs. weak core
• Correct core exercise techniques

Pelvic Diaphragm

• Understanding and exercising your pelvic diaphragm
• Effects of pregnancy, birth, ageing, and surgery
• How to prevent incontinence and improve sexual health
• Male and female pelvic diaphragm differences ( as appropriate)

These classes offer a varied mix of strength training with weights and body bars, resistance bands, calisthenics, progressive stretching, mindfulness, and always, pelvic floor work. There are no gimmicks—just effective, research-backed exercise taught with sound technique.

Who Can Benefit
While suitable for most, the class is especially beneficial for this I fondly call “LOACAS”      ( ladies of a certain age :-o} ) which includes me!  As women move through peri- and post-menopause, exercise priorities shift—strength and resistance training become essential, aerobic intensity matters more than duration, and over-training should be avoided. Properly adapted training keeps you strong, mobile, and feeling youthful.

Class Structure
Each session blends familiar routines with new challenges. Repetition builds skill and effectiveness, while variety prevents boredom and poor technique.

Equipment

I employ a great variety of equipment to enhance and assist with your training.  I provide all of this equipment.  

I also advise on home equipment and sell quality products for use within class and home.  

I introduced STEP to the UK in the 1990s and have taught hundreds of classes and mentored instructors. Today, I teach STEP in its pure form, focusing on the 3Ps:

• Posture
• Positioning
• Performance

STEP training is versatile, effective, safe, and fun! Just 20 minutes of stepping gives a full aerobic workout, sculpts your body, strengthens your core, and finishes with a deep stretch.

Good technique protects your joints, supports bone health, and enhances fitness, cardio, strength, coordination, and wellbeing. 

STEP is adaptable for beginners and experienced steppers alike, as well as being safe, joint-friendly, and hugely enjoyable.

Very few people are exempt from stepping, even if you have 'ishy' knees, ankles etc.  STEP could in-fact be the best thing for them. 

You will always be offered a consultation and free trial if I feel STEP is appropriate for you.
