About me
A little bit about me 
and my world!
My name is Amanda Fryer-Harris and I am an advanced level 3 Pilates instructor as well as a personal trainer. I have been in the fitness industry for over Fourteen years and before that I was in the health and Beauty industry and found from there my love of anatomy and physiology so decided to head towards a career in health and fitness.
I completed my ETM (exercise to music) in 1996 and in 1999 completed my gym instructor training.
Pilates was not something I had been involved with and didn’t know an awful lot about the practice. That was until 2003 when I was asked to cover a class at short notice only to find out it was Pilates!!!! After finishing a basic stretch class I decided to look into the history and background of Pilates. From that day forward I have never looked back. I did my level 2 mat work Pilates training in 2003 and loved every minute of it! From there I started up a few of my own classes within a few of the top Health clubs in the UK that I already worked in and they went down very well! I still have many of my original members coming to my classes regulary and must teach at least 300 people weekly!!
In 2007 I did my Pilates plus and next step training, this consisted of Pilates with the use of small equipment, at that point I decided to do my advanced Pilates! I have completed my advanced Pilates at level 3 which consisted of many months of work and lots of case studies as well as my advanced Anatomy & physiology as well as nutrition. I spend many hours doing self study with the use of books and internet as well as participating in many workshops and short courses; I find my love of Pilates getting greater all the time as I see how it helps people and the amazing results I not only see but hear about all the time!
I still teach other types of fitness classes but I am mainly teaching Pilates now, teaching 14 classes a week within the clubs & including my own independent pay as you go classes and beginner courses locally and personal one to one sessions. I have also created my own business name of BodyCore Pilates.
My members are from all walks of life, all ages & all fitness levels.Many come to generally tone and strengthen, increase their mobility & flexibility also to inhance their sports performance in other sports they train in.Then on the other hand many are with me for rehabilitation reasons due to injuries and posture imbalances. What I have noticed more recently is I seem to be having more men in the class! The studio has always been female dominated so seeing more and more men is a great sign especially as men can really benefit from Pilates and lets face it, it’s a man who created this practice!!! !
I am hoping to be teaching Pilates for many years to come and have many ambitions to fulfill including owning my own studio so to have a stable base for my members to attend. I have recently qualified to level 3 standard in advanced sports therapy massage and am looking to complete my level 4 (degree level) next year as well as looking to start my training in pilates with large equipment,reformer etc ….. I believe I have a lot to share and give from my experiences over the years. I hope you have enjoyed reading a little brief history about me and my work and my strong beliefs in the work of Joseph Pilates. My motto is look after your Body now and it will pay you back 10 fold in your future years to come!
