Brig is incredibly knowledgable of all things health and fitness with over 30 years of experience in the industry. Her sessions are dynamic, very technical with almost forensic detail yet Brig still manages to be entirely approachable and friendly.

As well as a director at Sea Breeze Pilates, Brig also nurtures the instructors of the future as Merrithew® Lead Instructor Trainer delivering the STOTT PILATES method. 

When she’s not in the studio, she spends her time with Alfie the wonder horse riding through the beautiful countryside of East Sussex.

Working in the health & fitness industry for over 22 years, and counting, Pete has seen it all. From a group exercise teacher, personal trainer, national presenter and tutor before setting up the highly successful Bamboo Fitness in Crystal Palace, London. 

Pete’s approach to teaching has a unique quality that is dynamic, athletic, professional, super clear and precise yet incredibly good fun.  

His memory for the individual goals or preferences of each member of his class is as impressive as his choice of music to suit the right mood for each class.  

Off duty he’s a fan of stylish scooters, good company and seaside living.  

Mary’s life can be charted through different phases of physical activity: after she retired from dance to have children, she took up running and started teaching fitness classes long before Fitness became the industry it is today. In 1994 she moved to London from the US to train to be an Alexander Technique teacher. Her subsequent search for a disciplined but less pugilistic approach to fitness led her to Pilates, which beautifully combines the precision and elegance of dance with the athleticism of fitness training. Her teaching is informed by her experience as a dancer as well as the lengthening and widening principles of the Alexander Technique. Her goals as a teacher are to get students stronger and more flexible, to increase their awareness of good alignment, to improve their coordination and control, and to help them learn how to move well without excess tension.

Mary’s childhood in the Philippines and longing to be near the sea drew her to St. Leonards in 2023. She can be seen either walking along the seafront with a big smile on her face, or sitting (lurking) in the back row at various films and events at Kino.
