The Meon Pilates Studio

The Instructors

Annemarie Harry

My name is Annemarie Harry and I am the owner of Meon Pilates Studio. I have been doing Stott pilates for several years. I chose the Stott method because, coming  from a science background, I feel it has been developed using anatomically sound principles. This enables me to understand better how the exercises can be used and adapted to suit a whole range of needs. I particularly enjoy working with clients that have back and knee issues and for that reason I have also completed the Stott Injuries and Special populations course which has given me even further insight in to how to achieve the best results for my clients.

Cindy Masterson

My first experience of Pilates was 10 years ago after suffering from chronic back pain. As a ballet dancer I had placed high demands on my body and my physical therapist suggested trying Pilates. I was impressed at how quickly my muscular imbalances were addressed by practicing Pilates. Motivated by the positive experiences I decided to make a career out of teaching Pilates in the hope of helping others  function better in their daily lives and athletic endeavours.

I am  a certified Matwork instructor with Polestar Pilates and am currently working on my Reformer certification with Stott Pilates. I also have a Masters of Psychology from Illinois State University.

I  live in Loxley with my husband and two children.

Helena Darcy-Cope

My name is Helena Darcy-Cope and I have been interested in fitness and health since I was a child. I danced for 10 years, Latin American, ballroom and freestyle, and as I got older I enjoyed attending exercise classes.  I became a Fitness instructor 3 years ago  teaching a variety of classes from Aerobics, step, spinning, and now more recently, Pilates. With my 20 years professional background in nursing, Pilates compliments my personal and fitness specialisms. It gives me more scope to teach and educate clients on using the correct muscle for the correct exercise and I enjoy enabling individuals to empower themselves to correct their posture and technique.

The Studio

The purpose built studio has excellent facilities and is located in a peaceful countryside setting.

It is equipped with a V2 Max Reformer, with its unique upright vertical frame, an SPX Reformer, arc barrels, balance equipment and resistance equipment. It also has underfloor heating to ensure a pleasant  environment.
