Rikke came into Pilates after realising the importance of Pilates in both rehabilitation and for strengthening, to feel more mind body connected. She has worked through the reminiscence of a stroke, and knows the importance of feeling strong through pregnancy and to correctly reconnect, restrengthen and to move from your powerhouse after birth. She is focused making classes for women, ensuring they receive the guidance they need, ensuring they feel they work to their ability. Classes are small to ensure the standard of class is kept high. To ensure we keep the fun even though we work.

Having three children herself, She understands the struggles for women trying to exercise when juggling a busy life, flexibility is therefor offered in all the membership plans. For many women, these classes, have become their time. Time to look after themselves.

Ange has been taking Rikke's Pilates classes for the last five and a half years. In that time She became physically strong in a way that other forms of exercise never achieved for her. Pilates increased her body awareness and improved her posture, even changing the way she walks. She loves the feeling of both teaching and participating in a class. The love of Pilates is what lead her to wanting to pass on her experience, the feeling of health and enthusiasm. This lead her to get qualified and for the last nine months She has been teaching Pilates which continues to inspire her and to develop, and keep learning. She has had her own injuries and illnesses to over come and Pilates has allowed her to keep moving and to recover. She truly do love Pilates.
