Hear how CORE has helped Lara Ross: Ballet Teacher and Busy Mum of three!
'My biggest transformation since joining CORE is appreciating that my health and fitness matters just as much as everybody else's. It's very easy to put everyone else first but I feel
CORE has given me the permission to do something for me.
I'd recommend CORE to any busy woman, because you'll soon realise that you can actually do it and more importantly that you should. '
And how CORE has helped Lien Gyles, Founder Member, to continue Pilates at home:
'Now, with the online Bitesize sessions I find it really easy to fit them into my daily routine and I manage to do at least 5 sessions a week. I can really tell the difference that is making to my flexibility, strength and general well being.
Being part of CORE has given me the nudge I needed to keep going.

CORE Members
"I can already see huge improvements in my flexibility, have less aches and pains and more energy."
"I started Pilates because I was having a lot of problems with my neck and shoulder but I often found it really hard to motivate myself to travel to a class after a long day at work.
The Core membership is exactly what I needed.
Bitesize daily workouts that I can do from home and at a time to suit me. They have totally transformed my approach to exercise, instead of viewing it as another job that I feel I ought to be doing, I actually look forward to each workout.
Gila is an excellent teacher, really friendly and she takes the time to explain the moves clearly which makes the workouts easy to follow."
Julie Crookes - Office Worker
"As a previous gym bunny, I now have the best 6-pack I’ve ever had and feel really comfortable in my body. I really can’t recommend it highly enough!"
"I’ve always enjoyed Pilates but found classes too expensive/hard to get to and using books and dvds is too hard to keep motivated.
Gila’s programme is the perfect solution.
The workouts are short enough to fit in but long enough to really feel you’ve worked. I find the programmes for each month really motivating. Having new routines and programmes each month allows you to see where you’re making progress but changes often enough to keep things fresh.Gila’s enthusiasm and obvious love for what she does is infectious, and her speedy replies and live classes really keep you going in the right direction. Even when I’m tired I never regret squeezing in a workout as I always feel better.
"I love Gila’s Core programme!
Amanda Jackson
"I can really feel the difference from doing Pilates and can always find the time to fit it into my daily routine."
"Great decision to sign up to CORE!
I have been a member since August 2020 and totally enjoy the content and support from Gila and the membership. The variety of workouts are excellent
Happy Pilates 😊"Janet Crooks
"I've noticed a huge difference in my mobility, flexibility and strength in just a few months and seeing that progress is really encouraging."
"I had no prior experience of Pilates, but am now hooked thanks to Gila and her bitesize workouts. They're so well structured and easily fit into the most busy of days."
Karen Morely - new to Pilates and now can't get enough!
Meet Gila - Pilates Specialist for Women 40+
I help women grow stronger — not older.
This is my journey to helping you?
I had always done a lot of exercise. I trained in ballet, dancing over 13 hours a week. I competed in Sports Acrobatics gymnastics until I was 23. I did Pilates and taught my own classes. I did circuit classes, body pump, ceroc jive etc etc.
Right into my 30s I did exercise consistently every day and felt invincible.
Then I had children!!!
3 children under the age of 4 and I loved it – still do – being a mum. My life became my children. Apart from teaching Pilates I didn’t do any exercise – I had no time!
However, I soon started feeling fed up. My body had changed, I had three children AND I was older. I no longer felt invincible.
I felt achy, tired and old.
I knew I wanted to get my fitness back, my strength and flexibility and to be an active mum, an active woman – get back to feeling like me again.
However, I've had to accept that training like I was 20 is not right for my body anymore. I am older, but that doesn't mean I have to BE old!
I needed a new approach that worked for my stage of life and my style of life.
The turning point...
I realised that somehow, I’d lost myself in the day to day of life and the first thing I did was to make time to exercise for me again – because I knew how much better it would make me feel.
I did short Pilates sessions at home and started to learn aerial silks – something I’d always longed to do. I started ballet again and felt younger, stronger, more confident and energised again.
I’m privileged to be able to use my experience to help others. This is how Bitesize Pilates and CORE has evolved. Now other women are realising, just like me, that they are important too and they have a choice to grow stronger too!
I've helped countless busy women build strength and feel good about themselves, whatever their age and NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
I can't wait to see you in the membership and community. You won't regret signing up. Come be your best self with us inside!
See you soon,
Gila x
