 Suzanne Pendlebury

Vinyasa flow & Yin Yoga

Speciality:

Growing up in Manchester after studying Fashion I moved to London to begin a career in fashion buying. Practicing yoga for over 20 years, what began as a way to escape the stresses of a busy career and sometimes life, soon became a way to actually look within and for life not to escape me, to find moments of calm, gaining skills that could be taken off the mat and into everyday life.

Grateful to have practiced in studios and with great teachers who were very welcoming, wanting to create that same safe and welcoming space to all who practice with me. Learning to understand what works for you and your body, taking away the pressure we often put on ourselves, no expectations, no judgement. Always the option to adapt your practice however feels right, challenging if that feels good or easing off, finding the balance that works for you. And hopefully have some fun along the way….

Victoria Roberts

Pole Fitness

Speciality:

My name is Victoria, and I am a pole fitness instructor for the Temple of Strength. I have always had a passion for sports from an early age, and whilst growing up, so when I left school I attended Loughborough College and completed my OND in Sport and Leisure. I became a swimming coach, aerobics instructor and circuit trainer.
Then In 2016 I experienced my first pole fitness lesson. It was my then 12 year old daughter who wanted to try a pole fitness class, so I accompanied her. After the first lesson, I fell in love with the art form and the desire to achieve the beautiful shapes. With pole fitness comes body awareness and positivity, and it also promotes time for self-wellbeing and mindfulness. I found a new pole fitness community, where fun, support and encouragement are all combined.
I went on to complete my beginner pole instructor course in 2019. Teaching pole and being able to share the pole journey with students is such a pleasure and so rewarding. I went on to accomplish my intermediate training in 2020 and advanced training in 2021. I then obtained pole flow and spin pole certificates in 2022. My goal for 2023 is to complete the paediatric pole course, and to then introduce under 18s to the joy of the pole life.

Aisha

Yoga

With a background in dance and a love for Ashtanga, her Vinyasa flows are fun, expressive and dynamic. Shi comments “you don’t have to be flexible or look a certain way to start yoga, the only thing you need is to have a body! Yoga is for everyone and has countless benefits, both physically and mentally. The biggest lesson I have learnt since practicing is how to exhale and truly decompress.”

Hi, I’m Abbie, a fully qualified level 3 PT, and class instructor teaching all kinds of fitness classes every week, from 1 on 1 classes to Legs, Bums & Tums, High Intensity Training or Spin.

Growing up, I was often teased about my weight. Something many of us can sadly relate to. But that only motivated me to make a change. Now I’m on a mission to share my fitness secrets with you.

Bodybuilders. Gymnasts and athletes. Nutritionists and sports scientists. Working with these people from across the fitness world for over 10 years, I’ve built the knowledge needed to help you achieve your body goals.
One of the biggest things I learnt on my personal training and healthy eating journey, is that sometimes you need to be savage with yourself to be strong.

So, whatever your fitness goals, I’ll whip you into shape. In a good way! Whether that’s weight loss, muscle gain, toning and sculpting or just generally feeling more fit in yourself – you can check my clients’ feedback to see exactly how I tailor a fitness and dietary routine to your requirements.
