Frequently-asked questions
Who are your exercise classes for?
Typical reasons students attend my classes include:
Can I just turn up?
No, you need to book in advance here. And if you can't book onto a class when you think you should be able to, it's either because the class is full or I'm not teaching on that day.
Can I pay up-front for a range of exercise classes all at once?
Yes, via my booking system.
What happens if I can't make a class after I've booked it?
You need to contact me by email to cancel your place. Please tell me which class you were going to attend, and what date you would like to transfer to. I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to do this, otherwise I'm unable to make the transfer. (Please note that I don't offer refunds.)
What should I wear?
Wear footwear and comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement. My Pilates and Fusion classes are generally done in bare feet/socks.
I'm new to exercise classes. What do I need to bring?
Have some water so you can stay hydrated throughout your class. Please bring your own mat to face-to-face classes and wear appropriate clothing, and footwear (for Strength & Tone only).
If you'd like to talk through a class before you attend or the best way for you to exercise, please contact me.
What if I can't attend online classes at the time you teach but still want to participate later?
You can still do this! Sign up and pay for the class via the booking/payment system, and the link to the class recording will be emailed to you afterwards so you can watch it any time you like (within 14 days of the class taking place); you can download the recording and save it to a device to keep it for as long as you like.
I'd prefer 1:1 support...
If you'd like individual support or perhaps more intensive training, I also offer 1:1 sessions, exercise therapy and tune-ups.

I went to see Joanna about long-term physiological damage and had a very thorough, in-depth consultation and she surprised me with a holistic approach to my recovery, after focusing on just the physical for so long.
I am so very glad that I went to see Joanna and would recommend her to everyone. She is a very inspiring human!
Joanna is a reassuring balance of professional yet personable. With her qualifications, experience and expertise, she provided me with knowledge and insight that was not only helpful, but interesting and spot-on!
