MEET THE TEAM
Jenny Strehlau
Principal Instructor
Jenny runs the studios on a day-to-day basis, leading our team of instructors and helping us to meet our objectives as a business.
She decided to swap stilettos for trainers to replace a career in the financial industry to become a personal trainer and sports injury therapist. Her love of Pilates really blossomed when she realised the benefits of being able to adapt every exercise for her clients, whatever their level of fitness or strengths.
Jenny is now a mother of two children and is a keen advocate of Pilates during pregnancy to improve the experience during labour and speed up recovery after a birth.
Jenny Newbery
Pilates Instructor
Throughout Jenny’s career she has always helped people stay fit and healthy, first training in sports massage, then studying Chi Kung, an ancient Chinese exercise discipline. She worked in the French Alps and then the South of France, as well as two prestigious physiotherapy clinics in London.
Jenny qualified as a Pilates instructor in 2012 at the internationally recognised Polestar Pilates in London and joined the Coast team in 2019.
She is passionate about bringing movement to all people, whatever their age or level of fitness. She used the lockdowns to further her pilates knowledge with many world renowned teachers online focusing on whole body pelvic health for post natal women and how to help the older generation stay fit and healthy through pilates.
Kate Fielding
Pilates Instructor
Kate has been practicing Pilates for 20 years and has been a qualified instructor for 4 years. After having children, she decided to follow her heart and do something she would truly love and which would bring enjoyment to others.
Movement is medicine for Kate and the benefits endless for both mind and body. She qualified with Future Fit as a Level 3 Mat instructor and specialises in pre and post-natal Pilates. She is constantly expanding her Pilates knowledge and recently completed specialist courses on foot and hand Pilates and Pilates to support pain management.
The most important thing for Kate is that Pilates classes are fun as well as challenging, with great tips to use in day-to-day life outside the studio.
Hattie Cameron
Pilates Instructor
Hattie recently completed her Pilates Reformer training with Stott. She is a passionate believer in the power of movement and maintains that everyone can benefit from Pilates.
She has been a fitness instructor and personal trainer for over 15 years, teaching movement practices from boxing to barre. She taught Vinyasa yoga for a decade, but her love for Pilates never waned.
When she's not being a Pilates geek, or feeding her teenage children, she is usually found on a horse - showjumping in any spare time she can find!
Robyn Chambers
Pilates Instructor
Robyn teaches Mat Pilates at Coast, having trained under The Pilates Foundation at Bodywise in Salisbury.
Pilates has been a big part of her life for many years and she has used it as part of her training regime as an international rower for South Africa and also Washington State University in the USA.
She has experienced some massive benefits as a result of regular Pilates in her sporting performance which is why she decided to qualify as an instructor, so she can share this experience with as many people as possible.
