About Alex
My name is Alexandra Thomas and I’ve been teaching fitness and Pilates classes for over 16 years. I was looking for a change in career to move out of the corporate world. It combined my love of exercise and it was a job that fitted nicely with the needs of my growing family. I was really into teaching cardio fitness classes such as spin and dance fitness. Yes I was a crazy Zumba lady for a time!. Although I taught Pilates alongside my other cardio classes I don’t think at the time I really appreciated how effective it was. However teaching over 15 cardio classes per week, 3 pregnancies and a problem with my left hip causing me ongoing pain, I became increasingly drawn towards Pilates and movement therapy and its amazing benefits.
I decided to reduce my cardio classes and focus purely on Pilates. I embarked on more training courses including my level 3 diploma, Trigger Point Pilates and Barre. I am currently training to become a Biomechanics coach too. . I can honestly say Pilates has changed my life, I no longer experience pain, have improved my flexibility massively and my core strength and balance is better than it was in my 20s!
My vocation in life is to help you improve your body and feel better. I am here to help and guide you. I can do this though a number of ways, through my on demand membership, which includes a variety of Pilates, Movement, Wellbeing and fitness classes for you to choose from, specialist online programmes, and when I’m able to open again at my studio. . I have a thirst for knowledge so attend regular training and keep up with all the latest research so I can pass this onto you!.
When I’m not teaching, I like to spend time with my husband, 3 children and my crazy hound. I love mountain biking, hiking, skiing, listening to music, going to gigs and the theatre and I sing in a choir.
Don't take just my word for it
What a few of my members have to say.
'My back has improved massively'
My back has improved massively since starting with Alex, and her Pilates classes have become an indispensable part of my regime to ensure I remain pain free. Fellow attendees are friendly, and classes are fun, relaxed and focused. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone who wants or needs to add Pilates to their exercise regime.
'Just when you think you've found your core!'
‘I have tried each of Alex's Pilates classes – Mat, Trigger Point Pilates, Barre and, Suspension have enjoyed them all. Unfortunately, not enough hours in the week to do each class. The variety of classes is great and each class offers a different kind of challenge. Just when you think you've found your core you do a different class & discover you haven't! There are plenty of options to suit every level.’
'Alex takes you on a journey at your own pace & level'
I’ve been attending Alex’s Pilates sessions for nearly 3 years. Absolutely love her classes. Morning mat class, great wake up & stretch. Alex takes you on a journey at your own pace & level. Trigger class, with, foam rollers, prickle balls & pulse roller, my favourite, can’t believe how relaxed I feel after this amazing class, not to mention a good 5cm taller.
