A bit about me
I’ve been part of the fitness world since 1986 — long enough to witness every fad and phase, and long enough to know what truly lasts. My journey has taken me from owning studios to founding a nationally accredited training provider in Scotland, training over 350 Pilates instructors, Personal Trainers and Finess Instructors and delivering more than 12,000 hours of teacher training — alongside decades of hands-on experience with real clients.
Today, I’m focusing on a different kind of reach.
After years of working face-to-face, I’ve moved much of my work online so I can help more women — especially those who may not have access to the kind of thoughtful, pain-aware movement instruction they deserve. Whether you live in a rural area, have limited mobility, or just feel out of place in the traditional fitness world, I want to meet you where you are.
I now mentor fellow fitness professionals who value clarity, compassion and evidence-based care. I’m also Course Director for The Ultimate Lower Back Pain Course for Fitness Professionals, in partnership with award-winning osteopath Gavin Routledge — a collaboration that reflects my commitment to quality and integrity in the industry.
But my favourite people to work with live in “real” bodies – ones that have been through surgery, stiffness, wear and tear, or chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and Parkinson’s. I’ve always been drawn to the so-called “complicated cases” – because I believe everyone deserves to feel strong and free in their body, no matter their age or history.
That belief is what led me to create BRIO!, my online fitness club for women 50 and beyond. It’s full of joyful, sustainable movement options designed to help you feel fabulous — without pressure, guilt, or trying to be anyone but yourself.
Or as my friend and colleague Dr Jane Jamieson beautifully put it:
“Fiona has the uncanny ability to spot where the body may be in stress and how to help the person resolve it… Many people have Aha! moments when they work with her — and they may never see the body in the same light again.”
