Katy trained in dance from a young age but unfortunately suffered a knee injury at the age of 16. It was through suffering with her knee injury that she discovered the Pilates method. Katy attended various classes over the years, but it was during her time at ALRA in London where she was training as an Actor, that she really fell in love with Pilates. It complemented her movement studies as a performer perfectly, and it helped her to rebuild her strength after her knee operation.
After leaving drama school, Katy went on to study with STOTT Pilates in London, and has since furthered her Pilates training with The Pilates Center, Boulder & The Pilates Hub, Edinburgh.
Katy has been teaching for over 8 years and offers both Classical and Contemporary Pilates, with a specialism in working with Pre and Postnatal women.
Katy launched The Pilates Studio Cheshire to create a calm, welcoming and relaxing space to offer Mat & Reformer Pilates, as well as now, the introduction of Barre classes and a variety of wellness events.When Katy’s not doing Pilates, you’ll find her at home singing and dancing with her two little ones, or on a dog walk with her husband, kids and crazy Cockapoo, Ronnie! Other days you might find her hiking up a mountain, paddle boarding or at the theatre!

After discovering Pilates and attending lessons with Katy for two years, Katherine fell in love with it for the benefits it gave her mind as well as her body. Pupil-turned-teacher, Katherine decided to turn her passion for classical Pilates into more than just a hobby and took up teacher training with The Pilates Centre, Boulder and The Pilates Hub, Edinburgh.
When Katherine's not doing Pilates you'll find her walking her dog, baking something delicious, or reading a good book with a nice glass of wine!

No, you're not seeing double... as well was being our Marketing & Studio Manager, Emma is also Katy's sister!
With eighteen years' experience spanning social media, marketing and PR for fashion, jewellery, bridal, beauty and wellness industries, it was a natural step for Emma to come onboard to help Katy launch The Pilates Studio Cheshire.
Social media manager, merch designer, branding curator, event planner, timetable organiser, sister organiser (she tries!), painter and decorator, website wiz, content creator, problem solver, emotional support system, admin angel... essentially anything that doesn't involve teaching Pilates she plays a part in!
When Emma's not at the studio or joining Pilates classes you'll find her in the kitchen baking some delicious treats, running around with her nieces and nephews or planning out her next creative endeavour!
