Alexandra discovered Pilates more than 15 years ago. Since childhood, she has been actively involved in various sports and is always keen to try anything adventurous. Alexandra credits her energy, recovery and injury-free lifestyle to Pilates. She practises Pilates not only because of how it can change your body, but also how it can change your mindset.

Alexandra spent the early days of her career running events around the world, but always felt there was something missing. She went on to leave the industry, training in Mat Pilates in 2016 with HFE and then enhancing her skillset by qualifying on the full gamut of Pilates equipment, including Cadillac, Chair, Barrel and Spine corrector, through Polestar Pilates’ Comprehensive Equipment course. Alexandra isn’t stopping there; she is currently undertaking her Masters in Osteopathic Medicine, developing her knowledge in order to help people live a healthier and happier life.

When Alex isn’t teaching in the studio you’ll find her with her walking boots on, trekking with her beloved dog.

Kirstin’s keen interest in exercise from a young age sparked her love for all sports. Leading a very physically active lifestyle, it’s no surprise that she participated in triathlon at a provincial level.

This motivated Kirstin to obtain her honours degree in Sports Science from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Kirstin has a passion for working with clients to provide individualised exercise prescription that is enjoyable for each person. In doing so, she is able to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve quality of life by boosting strength, stability, flexibility and confidence, whilst applying all the scientific foundations of sports science. Helping others keeps Kirstin inspired – there’s nothing she loves more than guiding them to achieve their goals, being part of their progress and putting a smile on their faces.

Simone discovered her love for the health and fitness industry back in New Zealand while studying at university, where her journey began in the comfort of her own apartment doing Youtube workouts between classes.

When she realised that an office job wasn’t for her, she turned to personal training and fitness instruction, determined to help others find a healthy relationship with their bodies and exercise. Since then she has explored a wide range of different workout styles including strength training and HIIT, however she has always enjoyed and returned to Pilates, loving the core strength and improvements in her flexibility that she has noticed after her sessions.

After moving to London Simone decided to take another step in her fitness career and become a qualified Pilates instructor, with the desire to teach and show others the benefits of Pilates.

Overall Simone strongly believes that health and fitness should be a positive and fun journey for everyone. She brings a bubbly, welcoming energy to each of her classes and uses this to help motivate and challenge each participant, leaving them feeling great and wanting more!

Outside of teaching Simone has a strong passion for Aerial Circus, and you’ll often find her hanging from the ceiling off silks and hoops. She also loves travelling and exploring different cultures and cuisine and taking mini get-aways to new locations.

Cinzia is a Pilates instructor with a huge passion for exercise and fitness. Her determination, enthusiasm and motivating approach come from her experience as a former professional dancer.

She has been working with movement since she was five years old, at first with rhythmic gymnastics, followed by ballroom/latin dance and ballet.

Afterwards she spent much of her career working in retail as a store manager and visual merchandiser. Having London for work five years ago, Cinzia was looking for something to keep her active. She turned her attention to Pilates – her experiences as a dancer having already convinced her of the benefits – knowing about the benefits. The more she learned about the method, and the more she saw results from her own practice, the more impressed she became.

It was then that Cinzia switched careers, got her qualification as Mat Pilates teacher and decided to share her passion for movement.

As an instructor, her purpose is to help people from all walks of life to feel better, achieve better posture, relieve pain, move more efficiently – and most importantly feel confident and aware of their own body. She believes that a strong, healthy body is necessary for longevity and happiness.

When she is not teaching you will find her practicing Pilates, Yoga and Pole fitness. She is also a massive fan of art, street art, dance and nature and she tries to spend most of her spare time in parks and holidays by the sea.

Born and raised in South Africa with three older brothers, Mandy was introduced to sport at a young age. Her early interest only continued to grow, and paved the way for a career.

Mandy completed both an undergraduate degree in BA Sport Psychology and a BA Honours degree in Biokinetics at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. She then joined a leading South Africa bank as a Biokineticist at their corporate gym, where her role involved training staff members as part of a campaign to improve quality of life for employees.

Once Mandy had a solid foundation of experience in the field, she opened two of her own exercise practices in South Africa. During this time, she had the opportunity to network with some of the greatest healthcare professionals in the industry.

She worked with a range of conditions at both practices. This included the rehabilitation of patients with cancer, lung and heart disease, Parkinson’s disease and strokes. A substantial amount of her time was also spent on post-op orthopaedic rehabilitation. Mandy further distinguished her practice by offering hydrotherapy, exercise-based programs at schools for sports development, and exercise maintenance regimes for the elderly at care homes.

She also has experience training high performance athletes, whether this be to accomplish a specific goal, improve performance or technique, or prevent injuries through education.

Mandy emigrated to the UK and subsequently joined the team at Ten. She continues to follow her passion for helping people overcome various challenges, and making a real difference to their lives through movement and patient education.

Mandy is highly active and motivated, constantly challenging herself to be better. She often competes in endurance events, is a keen cyclist and golfer and loves being outdoors. When she’s not on the go, she spends her free time with her family, which includes two adorable beagles. She also loves to travel the world – in fact, it’s one of the reasons she moved to the UK.
