ABOUT JOSIE

Josie has been in the fitness business for 25+ years.  It started as a hobby in her teens and soon after leaving college, she qualified as an aerobics instructor going on to teach almost every type of popular studio based class invented in some of the top health clubs in West London, as well as providing a personal training service. 

Five years ago Josie and her family moved to Kent where she set up Pilates & yoga classes, built up a portfolio of clients and until recently, retained her clients in London.  She is now concentrating on her local work and online video business.  As well as regular posts on all aspects of living a healthy lifestyle, you can download Pilates and yoga videos from this site as well as other fitness downloads carefully chosen for the results they will help you achieve.  This year Josie is planning to organise retreats so keep an eye on this site.

Josie is a great example of someone who follows a healthy, but balanced lifestyle.

 TESTIMONIALS

“After … five weeks of Vitalflow [downloads] and taking it easy, believe me, I am pain free from my slipped disc.  My stomach has also gone.  I am on week four just and complete the workouts four times a week, stretching every day. Thank you Vitalflow.”   D Hull, Lincs, UK

“I’m really enjoying the site. Your instructions on the videos are very clear and easy to follow and I find I’m learning a lot more than I have done previously attending local Pilates classes and using DVDs by more well known instructors.”  Rachel Granger

“Through Pilates, I have developed a tremendous sense of inner well-being. It has enabled me to gain control of muscles I was previously unaware of. Josie has a gift for explaining exactly what you should be experiencing muscle-wise. Each exercise has varying levels of difficulty and Josie makes you aware of these so that you can work at a level appropriate to your ability. She is very observant, maintaining an awareness of each individual throughout the session.”  Gill Leandro

“I would recommend Josie’s courses to anyone looking to improve body tone after having a baby.  It’s amazing how Pilates has given me back my stomach muscles.  Her classes are great!”   Karon Jackson

 “Pilates has helped my neck and back and my posture has improved greatly.  I was surprised at the results and would recommend it to anyone who is putting up with niggling back problems.”   Marian Cruttwell

 ”I find Pilates most beneficial for strengthening and toning my body without straining my muscles.  Josie is an excellent instructor and is thorough in her teaching methods.  Her classes are well planned and always stimulating.  Josie shows great care for her students, adapting exercises for those who have various injuries or health problems.  I enjoy the classes and in addition to exercising my body find they help me to relax.  The courses stopped for August, but Josie made a video for us.  I found the video excellent and it gave me the discipline to continue with my practise over the holiday.  Thank you – one of my objectives is to aspire to doing the movements as beautifully as you!”  Rosemary Lomas

“Following a dislocated shoulder, Pilates with Vitalflow has helped me back to strengh. I found the instructional videos excellent to help me with my recovery from home. Being able to log on and practise at any time of the day gave me the flexibility to recover from my injury.”  Jeremy Brown

“I was referred for Pilates after a slipped disc, so when I started I was not able to move my back in all directions. I had done yoga previously and found Josie very easy to follow, as she quickly found what I understood already and used that. She was very good at assessing both my capabilities and what would benefit me. After a few months, I was able to do not only what I could do before the slipped disc, but actually more. Some yoga poses I had never attained in years suddenly were within my reach. So a fabulous teacher.  And just spending time in the presence of Josie’s warm personality was a treat in itself.”   Laura O SW19 aged 46
