ALEX UNDERWOOD

Having qualified as a Pilates instructor ten years after attending her first class, Alex was originally introduced to the method to help rehabilitate a sporting injury.

Encouraged by her instructor, in 2016 Alex started her training with the internationally renowned, Michael King. She then moved on to complete her matwork instructor training with the highly accredited APPI. During lockdown, she also trained and qualified in antenatal and postnatal exercise to help mothers, like herself, who had little to no access to support.

She has an innate passion for promoting functional fitness, supporting and deepening people’s understanding of their own movement patterns, so they can work towards more balanced and controlled everyday movement.
