Welcome to Health In Motion. Here you can find all the information regarding our wellness and, health and fitness work. We offer Pilates, Yoga,and Personal Training. Michelle and Paul run the group and individual sessions, and they are tailored to needs, wants and abilities.
Between them they have clocked up over 40 years experience of teaching in the industry and have recently grown their online work, enabling more people to access the classes no matter where they are in the world.
Our ethos is to use exercise and nutritional knowledge to help people achieve whatever their goals are. We have an incredibly large array of clients from different backgrounds, ages, training histories and knowledge. The approach used is to make everyone feel welcome, with inclusivity for all, while setting challenges to achieve.
Classes, Fitness and Nutritional programmes are all participant-led, so there is a correct level for everyone. Those with more specific needs, for example, using pilates or fitness for rehabilitation, may need individual or small group sessions. We can tailor it to your needs.
Both Paul and Michelle started out as professional dancers, Paul has written and collaborated on numerous fitness books, which allows us to work with different populations. For those just wishing to feel more vibrant, lose some weight, be able to walk freely with less pain, or those embarking on club events, such as marathons, football, climbing or whatever you set your mind to.
“I've practised Pilates with Michelle for years and can warmly recommend her. She's a positive and upbeat teacher, always clear in her instruction. My body is stronger and healthier as a result of her classes. Can always rely on getting a reminder for a class.” Thanks Michelle.”

“I began attending Michelle's weekly Pilates Class 8 years ago and haven't looked back! She is friendly, puts you at ease and takes time to explain the exercises and moves expertly. My core is stronger and my back has benefited too. I prefer and enjoy our group class with a lovely bunch of ladies as opposed to workout DVDs. I would thoroughly recommend.”

“I’ve been taking pilates classes with Paul for about 6 years now, originally in a studio and latterly on Zoom, and can highly recommend him. His classes are always varied and cater to all abilities. He has a keen attention to detail and can fine tune the exercises or stretches for each client according to their individual needs and limitations. The atmosphere is always very friendly and light hearted, but at the same time Paul ensures we all get a good workout!”
“I have a regular exercise programme, but struggle to lose and maintain a healthy weight. After following Paul’s advice and adapting my previous eating habits, I am really happy with my current weight, and I never go hungry.”
By Graeme from Newton
“Paul has been my trainer for 15 years and I couldn’t recommend him enough. We switched to online training when Covid hit and I then moved to Australia and I have been impressed by how seamless the transition to a digital platform has been. He is a great listener and has adapted to my differing needs over time - from weight loss to recovery from knee replacements, from keeping sane through fitness in quarantine to longer term strength and fitness goals. He is continually learning more about how the body works and brings this knowledge to every session, tuning it to my specific goals. Paul is a great trainer no matter what your fitness level or goals are.”
