about gro
I am a do-er, planner, runner, yogi, foodie & mum of two with 20 years of fun in the HR world of food & hospitality in & around London.
I’ve worked with creatives, entrepreneurs & start-ups to build & grow their people teams. I love nurturing a working culture of trust & ambition
I had an outdoorsy & sporty upbringing on the South Coast of England full of travel and adventure, which led to a love of running & feeling free, in control & at one with my thoughts. It also led to tight hamstrings, lower back pain & pain in my hip joints!
Pilates has created a space for my joints & muscles to move freely & lengthen whilst building strength and alignment in my spine. Gro Pilates combines my passion for supporting people to believe in their ability & finding a balance within an active lifestyle. My dream is to share all of this goodness & growth to a community of pilates lovers whether new or experienced in your journey
In the Spring of 2026 we moved from Surrey to Somerset. A big life adventure for all of us, with lots of exciting change. I can’t wait to share new memories in the South West!

Studio Classes
The Market House, Castle Cary, BA7 7AH
Stretch & Strength ~ Monday 6.00 - 6.55pm
A class for all levels and abilities focusing on exercises to strengthen and lengthen your fascia, muscles and joints, which in turn improves your mobility, flexibility and posture.
We will use our breath and a mind body connection to deepen into the movements, releasing tension and assisting the recovery of any old or recent injuries.
A wonderful class to support your nervous system and acknowledge how your body feels and the balance it needs.
Pilates Club ~ Walkers, Runners & Cyclists
Monday 7.00 - 7.55pm
After the successful launch of my walking group Hungry Walkers this Summer, I thought it would be an excellent time to create a low impact class for walkers, runners and cyclists. For those who spend a lot of time using their lower muscles and joints in a repetitive motion and bearing weight onto their feet, legs, glutes and hips.
The class is open to everyone whether you like to walk your dog, run a marathon, cycle up a mountain or you might have just started one of these sports as a new exercise.
The class will focus on deep core stability, correcting muscular imbalances, enhancing joint mobility and preventing injury.
This class is for all levels and abilities, and also for those who don’t do walking, running and cycling!
Hungry Walkers
Free walks every other Friday at 9.30am in and around Somerset. We walk 4-10 miles and everyone is welcome, including dogs on leads and babies in carriers.
I also offer evening walks during the Spring and Summer and 1-2 weekend walks a month.
A great opportunity to get outdoors, meet new people and explore the beautiful countryside. Please wear good footwear and bring a water bottle.
We refuel with a pitstop at a local pub, farm shop or cafe. A wonderful way to support small local businesses.
If you are a small foodie business that would like to collaborate with us, get in touch!
