Gemma started her physical journey at the age of 2 with extensive dance training. She wholehearted embraced movement and teaching, and started coaching others at the age of 11. She went on to be a Professional Dancer at the age of 18, and performed all around the world, but returned back to the UK just after the millennium to start her fitness education.

As a qualified PT and Group Exercise Instructor, she felt there was something missing and trained to be a Pilates Instructor in 2008, which she loved. Her Pilates education has been ongoing and extensive since then, and Gemma attends monthly teacher trainer workshops in London. She has successfully completed a great variety of courses across Europe and the US.

In 2013, Gemma moved to Los Angeles and trained in the Dynamic Reformer programme, where she worked with a number of high-profile clients and trainers for 4 years before returning back to the UK.
Currently, Gemma is an Educator and Assessor in Pilates. She still enjoys teaching Dynamic Reformer, Classical Pilates and is our Bootcamp Pilates Head Trainer, responsible for delivering and developing our training programmes with our Bootcamp University.
