As a keen competitive athlete in her younger years, Marion gained a BEd Honours Degree in Physical Education before starting her 25 year long career as a PE teacher. During this time she also worked in gyms and fitness studios, and her passion for distance running saw her complete several marathons including the London Marathon.

​

It was through injury that Marion was first encouraged by a physiotherapist to attend Pilates classes and so she enrolled as a client here at Encore Pilates. She was so impressed by the benefits of her Pilates practice she decided to train to become a teacher. Only a year later Marion left her teaching post at Abbots Hill School and gained her Pilates Matwork qualification in 2020. A desire to expand her knowledge and experience led to the completion of CPD courses including Pilates for Common Orthopaedic Conditions and pre- and post-natal training. In 2022 Marion gained her Reformer qualification with the internationally renowned STOTT Pilates. Marion has said she loves teaching at Encore “because of its warm and friendly environment where teachers and clients alike are so passionate and enthusiastic”.

When Marion isn’t teaching Pilates she enjoys hiking and has proudly climbed Snowden, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike.
