My name is Bev Francis and I am a fully qualified CYQ Level 3 Pilates’ mat work and machine teacher. I trained in London with Pilates Precision (formerly The Pilates Institute). I am also a fully qualified fitness instructor having worked as a studio co-ordinator for a health club a number of years ago, where I managed and taught a wide range of fitness classes, including Body PUMP, Body STEP, Aqua and Spinning.
I am a keen cyclist and used to race at national level. I have experienced the rehabilitative benefits of Pilates’ exercise personally after sustaining serious injuries in a cycling accident a few years ago. Despite a bleak prognosis, I made a full recovery and was so impressed with the Pilates’ technique that I decided to specialise in teaching Pilates’ exercise. Fully recovered and back on my bike applying all that I have learnt, I now train smarter rather than harder thanks to the principles that uphold the exercise technique.
Joseph Pilates believed that there are 4 key values necessary to achieve any goal in life: diligence, determination, patience and persistence. As I recovered from my injuries and tried to return to my former fitness level, I came to realise that these values were indeed vital. Determination and persistence were no good to me if I wasn’t patient or diligent in my approach. I endeavour to uphold these 4 key values and pass on my personal experience as I help others to overcome injury and become fitter.
I believe Pilates’ exercise is especially relevant these days as sedentary lifestyles and the work environment are both affecting the health of the nation. Pilates can be expensive but I endeavour to keep my prices to what I believe is a reasonable and competitive level to enable as many people as possible to enjoy the numerous benefits it has to offer.
My overall aim is ‘Helping You Fulfil Your Body’s Potential’.
