Ben considers himself very lucky to have had a passion for sports and physical activities from a very early age. Throughout his life he has been very involved in team sports such as rugby, cricket and football as well as individual sports like Skiing, Gymnastics and martial arts. 

Ben’s mother was a Pilates instructor and ran the hugely successful Oxford Pilates Studio – it was here that Ben was first introduced to Pilates back in 2005, to help him strengthen his weak lower-back and core to aid in his training. He loved the principles behind Pilates and teaching and helping people, so in 2011 he decided to  leave his corporate job behind and train to become a Pilates instructor. He currently owns the Authentic Pilates Studio in Battersea, London which offers bespoke reformer and mat Pilates. He specialises in teaching people overcoming injury and surgery, people who want to improve their physical wellbeing and has plenty of experience in working with women during their pregnancy and helping them get back on track post-partum. 

Having relocated with his young family to Northampton earlier this year, he is delighted to team up with the Northants Pilates family and to share his passion in physical and mental wellness!
