Meet our Pilates Instructors...

I'm Georgina, owner of Core Control Pilates Hertford, a mum of two boys living and working in Hertford.  I come from a dance and education background and turned my love for Pilates into a career in 2017 after being introduced to it in over 20 years ago!

I studied with Future Fit School of Pilates and qualified as a level 4 Mat Pilates specialist, certified in Pilates for small equipment, Pilates for common orthopedic conditions, and Pre & Post-natal Pilates and Reformer Pilates.  I am also a qualified Nutrition for weight loss adviser, a certified level 2 fitness instructor, and a certified barre instructor.

Pilates restores control of your body and teaches you how to focus inwards and become more aware of your body. It offers the opportunity to learn how to gain mindful control of your core muscles.  I honestly believe that everyone would benefit from doing Pilates classes and that mat Pilates is the true magic of Pilates. 

Having my own Pilates studio has been a dream and goal of mine since I started teaching and I feel so proud that my very own studio is opened at the end of April 2025! I'm so excited to shared this next part of my Pilates story with you all.

Growing up, Sophie spent many years training in gymnastics, which introduced her early on to the importance of core stability and controlled movement.

She began training as a Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor with HFE and qualified in summer 2025. 

Sophie’s teaching approach is inclusive and supportive, with a strong focus on correct form. She is passionate about helping clients improve core stability, restore balance in the body, and support their bodies in moving as they are meant to.
