Lisa herself has suffered from back & neck problems since she was a child and this is why she is focused on helping others who suffer with medical conditions, muscular & joint pain.
After discovering Pilates in 2000 she found it helped her back & neck problems. Following the Pilates method allowed her to continue teaching fitness classes & to manage my back problems. Being able to identify with clients who suffer from muscular or skeletal problems really helps to modify & tailor each exercise for every individual. Pilates also aided in her recovery after both C-sections.

Hi, my name is Louise and I am a ‘Fitsteps’ instructor. I come from a dance background, having trained in Tap, Ballet, Modern, Jazz and Musical Theatre from a young age.
I have been teaching in the fitness industry since 2004 and I am a qualified ‘Exercise to Music’ instructor. I am also trained to teach ‘Les Mill’s Body Jam’ and ‘Zumba’ as well as my own freestyle classes.
I love Fitsteps in particular as it gives me the chance to learn a new dance discipline; the world of Ballroom and Latin. I love learning the different techniques of each dance style and enjoy the challenge of studying new ways to move. I find it to be very effective as a fitness class due to the nature of the different styles as it combines cardio and strength and works on balance and posture. It is also great fun with a lovely eclectic mix of music and you can really lose yourself in the character of the dances.
As a dancer, I am a big fan of the show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘Fitsteps’ was created by two of the professional dancers from the show. They wanted to prove that anyone can learn the moves and to show you can ‘dance yourself fit’!
I am a firm believer in health and body confidence at any size and I feel that dance fitness is a great way to achieve this. These days there is a lot of focus on looks and the fitness industry in particular can be intimidating. I have always been an advocate for learning to love your own shape and size and to focus on body positivity.
Having two daughters has made me even more determined to spread this message. I like to help my participants to feel good about themselves, to have fun in my classes and I don’t take myself very seriously. However, we do still work very hard and it is a great all over workout, guaranteed to generate a good mood!

Victoria is our newest member of our team. Before she became an instructor she was one of our 'Zumba Crew' members.
Hi my name is Victoria. I started Zumba several years ago as I loved the music, passion and free flow dancing. I carried on with Zumba and exercise all the way up till I had my son.
I've always enjoyed dance, yoga, aerobics and leg bums and tums so I decides to go on the path of becoming a exercise to music instructor.
I hope to bring a bit of fun and joy to all classes even tho there may be some sweating.
Testimonials
Erica
I’ve been going to Lisa’s Pilates class for over 10 years now and I can’t begin to describe what a difference it has made.
After the birth of my children I have really struggled with lower back pain and more recently pain from the hyper-mobility in my joints. She has taken the time to carefully go through each exercise with me to make sure Ian doing it properly so as not to injure myself.
My physio therapist has also been pleased that I have someone as knowledgeable as Lisa to work through my exercises with me. More recently I have been going to her for remedial massage too. Which has also been a huge benefit, and enlightening as she can pick up on problem areas which we can work through in class.
I am a hairdresser and I recommend Pilates to all my clients and would totally recommend a one to one to make sure you are getting the most out of it. Lisa is patient, knowledgeable and a great teacher, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Linda
I moved to Markyate just over a year and a half ago, I have had a lot of health problems over many years and put a message out on our local site for someone to help me as I felt that I was losing more of myself every year that passed.
Lisa from Platinum fitness got in touch she came to my place to see what I could do and what I couldn't. After being assessed I joined in Pilates classes it was a nice small class so I felt at ease I felt good going to the classes and really enjoyed it although I did have to take a break after xmas as I was recovering from another operation.
When I felt ready I was welcomed back into the group Lisa is amazing and knows when you are struggling and always gives an individual different things to do within the class. I always feel like I'm being helped with a smile and not a bother which I always used to feel when doing things. I really look forward to the classes and feel like I've accomplished something when I leave.
Many Thanks to Lisa look forward to more classes with yourself.

A year ago everything ached; it was a real effort to do things. I broken my arm earlier in the year, suffered from a hiatus hernia, lower back pain and was approaching sixty.
I needed to do something! Pilates with Lisa was a godsend. In the past I had done Yoga, but had aggravated my back problems and was concerned that I might do myself more harm, but with her regular checking of my body alignment, careful, continuous instructions and initial gentle exercises,
I was soon able to progress and build my core strength, balance and flexibility. I now feel Ten years younger and my family has noticed a huge, positive difference in my emotional & physical well-being.
Client Reviews
Here's a few things our clients have said about us!
I look forward to Lisa's Pilates class every week! It's a great balance of relaxation and working out. My posture and back pain have dramatically improved since attending. Lisa is lovely, professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She is very accommodating and welcomes everybody of different abilities into her class and adapts them appropriately. I would highly recommend her and her classes to anybody.
Michelle Angove 06/09/19 (Tuesday 10.15am Pilates class)
Pilates with Lisa has been beneficial to me in so many ways. I feel much stronger now than when I first started and it has also helped my stamina and flexibility.
Lisa is great and will give you variations on each pose to suit your ability and she will adjust your position so you get the most out of each exercise.
The group has a lovely relaxed vibe and Lisa is obviously very knowledgeable and professional.
Emma Gibson 09/09/19
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lisa at Platinum Fitness & The Pilates Remedy for guiding me through my training sessions during my pregnancy.
Lisa tailored my sessions / exercises to enable me to continue training throughout the duration of the pregnancy.
I was able to participate in group personal training, circuits and Pilates. Lisa was there to supervise and advise me, ensuring that I was exercising correctly at each stage.
I highly recommend Lisa who is now helping me return to my pre pregnancy fitness. I’ve had one personal training session since giving birth to my son 8 weeks ago and am looking forward to the next one very much! Leanne
Pilates with Lisa has massively helped my aches and pains and I feel much more flexible than I have for a long time. The classes are great fun with lots of variety and new things thrown in to keep us on our toes. I miss it when I am not able to attend and definitely notice the difference if I haven’t been for a few weeks. Highly recommend! Jane 22/08/19
“I love Lisa’s Pilates class! As a gym lover I was a bit sceptical at first about Pilates but 3 months into Lisa’s classes and I have to say I’m hooked. The small class and the care with which Lisa explains each move, how it should feel and variations to make it harder or easier mean you can work as hard as you want to whilst knowing you’re doing it right. I’d highly recommend these classes for anyone of any ability and fitness level.”

I have been attending Lisa's classes for years. She is a good knowledgeable teacher adapting each exercise to individual ability. It has certainly kept me supple and has helped with my back and joint problems. The only person not happy is my osteopath as I rarely see him now! David
I joined Pilates first as I suffer from osteoporosis and Arthritis. In my second year I had a Hysterectomy and afterwards my recovery benefited from Lisa's special help. I have been attending the class now for many years and really enjoying them. Joan
My Physiotherapist recommended Pilates whilst I was recovering from pelvic problems after the birth of my second child. I have found it has helped enormously to return parts of my body to their proper places after pregnancy and to strengthen my abdominal muscles which had seemed to disappear altogether. Elizabeth
Lisa's Pilates class has helped me get my life back in track after having breast cancer. My stamina is slowly building and it's the only thing I have stuck at. Su
I had a back problem and my osteopath & consultant recommended Pilates, without it, I would not be able to lead the active life I lead now. I highly recommend it and know when I have not done it. Joanna
Lisa has always been very helpful and will help the student by adapting the exercises when needed which is appreciated. Helen
I've noticed being more supple generally, with a reduction in Aches in the joints and muscles. My Chiropractor has said my back was 'brilliant' last time she saw me, and I feel that my posture has improved as a direct result of the classes. Thank You! Jeanette - Pilates Classes
Absolutely excellent, I had a back injury in August 2016, as a result I required intensive physiotherapy, I supplemented this with one-2-one with Lisa and found that the exercises I was doing with Lisa were identical to those with the physic department. She took time to explain what I needed to do, and what muscles this would strengthen, as a result I have returned to work full time, got back into my hobby which I had to stop and I am now pain free. I still attend Lisa classes to keep up the regime as I never want to repeat that pain again. I cannot recommend Lisa enough, thanks Richard

Lisa is a really good teacher, very thorough and knowledgeable about all the muscle groups etc. She always watches carefully & walks around to make sure we are all doing it right.

Attending her classes has really helped me with my mobility. Cathy – Pilates & Zumba
Lisa has always acted in a very professional way, always ask if any problems prior to start of class, the classes are fun and not too intense allowing us ‘Older Ones’ to get all the benefits! Marcia – Aerobics, Total Body /Flow Pilates
