I have been a Tropic Skincare Ambassador for over a year now. I needed organic and natural skincare and make-up for my 3 teenage daughers, and for me when my skin started to become more sensitive in perimenopause. The products are beautiful with no nasties and the company support many charities.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Louise, 52. Originally from Lowestoft, Suffolk, I now live on the south coast of England with my husband, our three daughters and dog Bella. My journey into the fitness industry began at 19, at the height of the 1990s aerobics and step era. With a lifelong passion for dance — having trained in ballet, tap, modern, and jazz from the age of four — I was inspired to turn that love into a professional career. After gaining RAD and ISTD qualifications, and with encouragement from a highly motivational aerobics teacher, I began delivering my own dance aerobics classes in a local church hall, and also started after-school dance clubs for children.

Over the past 30 years, I have developed a varied and rewarding career in the fitness sector. I have taught in community venues and health clubs, worked with both individuals and groups, and spent 10 years in London with a national fitness training provider. In that role, I travelled across the UK as a Course Director, Tutor, Assessor, and Internal Verifier, before moving into product development and management.

After having my three children (all under the age of two!), I decided to return to my roots — freelance teaching. Today, I focus on delivering a variety of group fitness classes, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates in my own studio, blending my experience and passion to help others enjoy movement, stay active, and feel their best every day. I am Chief Assessor in Mat and Reformer Pilates for The Pilates Union UK, assessing and supporting trainee instructors all over the country.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

I first discovered the Bounce Dancefit classes via Facebook! having gone along for my first class where I was giving a very friendly welcome I was completely hooked! I now get to enjoy Pilates, Yoga, Badass, Barre and HIIT classes, which are all taught with such passion, humour & clear instruction!

Joining Louise via Zoom starting in the first lockdown has literally been a lifeline for me. Not only has it kept me fit, the social interaction has been much needed and the fun, relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere of the classes has been brilliant for learning and trying new types of exercise that I would never have had the time or energy to try before. I absolutely love the variety of classes Louise offers!

Before starting Pilates I had chronic back pain a lot of the time primarily due to my job as an electrician. My wife encouraged me to go along to class with her and a friend. Although I was very nervous on the first evening, Louise's friendly, easy going nature instantly put me at ease.

After a few weeks I soon realised that the regular classes were making a huge difference to my back pain, and these days a few years on, my back pain is rare.

I would encourage anyone thinking about joining not to hesitate! As a man I was unsure how I would feel or if I would keep up with the pace, but Louise ensures that everyone is included and working at their own level.

Louise's classes are amazing! I've had the chance to try and love a variety of styles of exercise, each delivered in a professional, fun and motivating way. There's never any judgment of ability, if you go wrong, so what?!! In person or on camera, Louise is always smiling and I look forward to every class. I can't wait for what classes are introduced next!
