Welcome to Core Addiction Pilates
Hi I’m Julie!
I have been teaching Pilates for 22 years and my background is fitness classes and personal training. Teaching numerous amounts of classes and running each week took its toll on my body. I was experiencing lower back pain and knee pain so I decided to train as a Pilates teacher with Mk Pilates in London and it was the best decision I have made.
I am very passionate about teaching and having my own practice. I teach 7 pilates classes each week as well as fitness yoga and les mills classes such as body combat, body attack, shbam, body balance and have recently qualified as a George Franklin trainer for the lower back. I also offer 1-1 sessions in Mat or on the Reformer at my home.
I am continually learning and expanding my knowledge, which I love.
I am passionate about the many benefits of pilates, including improved posture, muscle tone, balance, and joint mobility as well as relieve stress and tension. The pilates reformer is an amazing piece of apparatus unlike no other, which helps you find length and space in the body while under spring tension. Far from just a workout for your core, the reformer helps create internal pressure to elongate the spine, joints and muscles which then leads to greater flexibility strength, stamina and more balanced posture. This type of physical and mental workout is even more relevant now due to lifestyle factors such as sitting for long periods of time and mental health aspects.
As you become familiar with the Pilates method you’ll be moving the deepest muscles of the Mind and Body that you didn’t even know you had.
“Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.”

“I've been having 121 pilates lessons with Julie for 4 years now, and I love it! It is the ONE THING that has made the most impact to my life in terms of self-care, and I'd never give it up.
Julie has fixed my posture to the point where I now get compliments, and cured my back pain! Recently I developed an issue in my back from wearing unsupportive shoes and Julie fixed the problem with only a couple of reformer sessions. Much better than the psychotherapy I've had previously!
Pilates with Julie has made such a difference to my body shape and confidence! I've got a firmer body now at 42 than I did when I was a teenager.
There is one story that really illustrates how knowledgeable Julie is:
I turned up for a lesson and she said, "Your posture is different, you look like you've been digging.”
I had just started digging an allotment!
She's amazing, a real miracle worker and I can't recommend her highly enough!”
