Catriona became a barre instructor in 2015, and it was through this training that her depth of knowledge – considering the body and how to challenge, control and develop our bodies in a safe and effective way – truly heightened. And she didn’t stop there – Catriona continued her studies as a Movement Health Expert, becoming a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. She attained a Pilates Teacher Diploma and has since been teaching various group exercise classes across London including PBT (progressing ballet technique), Rebounding, Aerial yoga, Aerial Pilates, Trapeze, HIIT and Studio Cycle.

Catriona aims to make movement exciting for everyone, no matter what your background is. In her sessions, her goal is to challenge clients, studying each person’s own individual needs, and helping them to move in a safe, effective and enjoyable way.

Gabriella’s mother ran an established Stott Pilates studio in Johannesburg, and as a student, she gravitated towards it as another outlet for her increasing interest in training. She completed the Stott Pilates courses in Matwork, Total Barre and Reformer and received her Stott Pilates Instructor Certification for Total Barre, Matwork Essential & Intermediate. Gabriella then moved to London in 2020 to continue her career in Pilates.

Being an extravert, Gabriella loves interacting with people – particularly in a class environment, which stimulates movement and energy. She thrives when she’s able to help others focus their minds on their bodies, and in turn improve mobility and strengthen the all-important supporting muscle groups. A true people person, her genuine interest and care for clients ensure a fully rounded and enjoyable workout without any risk of injury.

“Working with people, exercising, improving the movement of our bodies and sharing what I know with others is what I love to do, so here I am ‘living the dream’” says Gabriella.

When Gabriella is not teaching, she still enjoys her tennis and new found love of gardening.

She has always been a keen horserider and a runner. When she moved to London she discovered Thai boxing, and after a few years’ training, moved to Kho Samui where she trained for a further five months, taking part in three fights (and winning all three).

On returning to London, she was persuaded to enter her first London Marathon – the first of 14 marathons (5 of them in London) all completed in good times, along with a100km race, which she finished in just over 10 hours.

When she lived in Australia and Vanuatu she took up cycling, and as a result found herself competing in the Alpes d’Huez. With its 21 hairpins, this is one of the legendary ascents of the Tour de France, which she climbed in just over an hour on a steel bike.

Just to add an extra element of challenge (and yet more travel), Caroll trained in Krav Maga in Israel, qualifying as an Instructor. And picking up some injuries along the way, which in turn, introduced her to Pilates and her teaching qualification.

Over the past decade she has participated in a number of courses at the some most respected institutes in the field of holistic health and exercise. With her in-depth understanding (and personal experience) that functional movement patterns are essential to maintain a healthy, efficient and pain free body, Carroll ensures that Pilates is at the core of every exercise and program that she does.

As a Trainer, Caroll is strict yet patient; a perfectionist but also a good motivator. As the basis of all Pilates, she insists on correct and transferable technique in all exercises – so you can practice in everyday life what you learn in class. But above all, she aims to develop routines that suit, stimulate and encourage everyone in her classes.

He began at just 3 years old, practicing Judo with his Aunt (a multiple world champion) and then trying has hand at a variety of sports before discovering dance at 14.

Danilo’s hobby became his profession, as he passed the audition for one of the most prestigious arts universities in Europe, Codarts, in Holland, before moving to the UK, where he graduated from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. (As a Postgraduate, he also won the prize for best achievement of the year in 2012.)

After his graduation Danilo worked as a professional dancer for a number of leading national and international choreographers. He danced as lead performer for the National Theatre, as well performing at the Royal Opera House and Sadler’s Wells, both in London and in their UK tours.

He has always used Pilates as a base for his training, having discovered that it was the most efficient way to prevent injuries. After gaining his Matt Pilates qualification, he decided to combine his Pilates knowledge with the benefits of his dance experience and understanding of body awareness, muscle isolation and proprioception by teaching Pilates to professional dancers.

Danilo’s passion to share his knowledge and insights with a wider audience led him to join the Training team at Ten.

He likes a laugh, loves parks, nice walks, a good book, photography and of course mamma’s cooking.

Gabriella then moved to London in 2020 to continue her career in Pilates.

Being an extravert, Gabriella loves interacting with people – particularly in a class environment, which stimulates movement and energy. She thrives when she’s able to help others focus their minds on their bodies, and in turn improve mobility and strengthen the all-important supporting muscle groups. A true people person, her genuine interest and care for clients ensure a fully rounded and enjoyable workout without any risk of injury.

“Working with people, exercising, improving the movement of our bodies and sharing what I know with others is what I love to do, so here I am ‘living the dream’” says Gabriella.

Catriona became a barre instructor in 2015, and it was through this training that her depth of knowledge – considering the body and how to challenge, control and develop our bodies in a safe and effective way – truly heightened. And she didn’t stop there – Catriona continued her studies as a Movement Health Expert, becoming a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. She attained a Pilates Teacher Diploma and has since been teaching various group exercise classes across London including PBT (progressing ballet technique), Rebounding, Aerial yoga, Aerial Pilates, Trapeze, HIIT and Studio Cycle.

Catriona aims to make movement exciting for everyone, no matter what your background is. In her sessions, her goal is to challenge clients, studying each person’s own individual needs, and helping them to move in a safe, effective and enjoyable way.

She has always been a keen horserider and a runner. When she moved to London she discovered Thai boxing, and after a few years’ training, moved to Kho Samui where she trained for a further five months, taking part in three fights (and winning all three).

On returning to London, she was persuaded to enter her first London Marathon – the first of 14 marathons (5 of them in London) all completed in good times, along with a100km race, which she finished in just over 10 hours.

When she lived in Australia and Vanuatu she took up cycling, and as a result found herself competing in the Alpes d’Huez. With its 21 hairpins, this is one of the legendary ascents of the Tour de France, which she climbed in just over an hour on a steel bike.

Just to add an extra element of challenge (and yet more travel), Caroll trained in Krav Maga in Israel, qualifying as an Instructor. And picking up some injuries along the way, which in turn, introduced her to Pilates and her teaching qualification.

Over the past decade she has participated in a number of courses at the some most respected institutes in the field of holistic health and exercise. With her in-depth understanding (and personal experience) that functional movement patterns are essential to maintain a healthy, efficient and pain free body, Carroll ensures that Pilates is at the core of every exercise and program that she does.

As a Trainer, Caroll is strict yet patient; a perfectionist but also a good motivator. As the basis of all Pilates, she insists on correct and transferable technique in all exercises – so you can practice in everyday life what you learn in class. But above all, she aims to develop routines that suit, stimulate and encourage everyone in her classes.
