Our Team
The Core Studio’s team is made up of a dynamic, professional and highly experienced group of people.
The therapy team provides the following services; Physiotherapy, Biokinetics, Occupational Therapy, Hand Therapy and Sports Massage.
Our Pilates trainers have all qualified as BASI (Body Arts and Science International) instructors which is one of most rigorous and detailed Pilates courses available globally. It is certainly not a ‘weekend course’ and requires months of learning followed by many training and teaching hours in order to earn the qualification .
Core Studios also offers Modern Dance, Hip Hop and Yoga – these all take place at the Pod which is a state of the art studio designed and constructed by Dreco projects.

My love of sport from an early age – swimming, running, rock-climbing, mountaineering and mountain biking – created an awareness of, and fascination with movement, fitness, and injuries and their rehabilitation.

My movement journey began at a very young age with my first ballet class. My passion was ignited, and it led me to a career as a professional ballerina that lasted over a decade. During my dancing years, I was introduced to Pilates and all of it's benefits.
Gabi Harris

My relationship with movement and exercise began as a young girl with ballet and modern dance classes. I continued to swim, and play tennis and netball throughout high school, and took movement studies as part of my Drama degree at university.
Chad Keet
Pilates and Dance instructor, Massage Therapist
My love for dance and movement led me to obtain a Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training certificate through Body Arts and Science International in 2009; I had found that Pilates strengthened me as a dancer and is an amazing form of cross training. I also qualified in therapeutic and sports massage.

Emily MacFarlane
Yoga Instructor
Emily discovered yoga through the sense of connection and community it creates, a space where people from all walks of life can come together with shared values, intention, and openness. Practising yoga taught her that through breath, anything can be overcome, and that the practice extends far beyond the mat into everyday life.
