Our Story
People often ask where the name Become Pilates came from, and it actually started long before Pilates.
Over 12 years ago, when I was just beginning my career in Learning & Development, I attended a conference where I heard Amy Cuddy talk about the power of body language. One sentence has stayed with me ever since:
"Fake it until you become it."
Those six words have guided some of the biggest decisions in my life.
Amy's message wasn't about pretending to be someone you're not. It was about how the way we carry ourselves can change how we feel.
fake it until you become it
Standing taller, taking up space and moving with confidence sends signals to our brain that can help us feel more capable and confident, even before we fully believe it ourselves.
I was just starting my career and constantly questioning whether I was good enough. That message gave me the confidence to keep saying yes to opportunities that felt outside my comfort zone. Over the next 12 years, I built a career helping other people grow in confidence, develop their potential and believe in themselves too.
Then life changed.
After experiencing burnout, I realised something had to change - not just in what I did for work, but in how I looked after myself.
Pilates became a huge part of that journey.
It helped me reconnect with my body, slow down and rebuild both physically and mentally. And it reminded me of something I'd learnt all those years before: our body and mind are deeply connected. The way we move can change how we feel. We stand taller, breathe deeper and carry ourselves differently—and often our confidence starts to grow before we even realise it.
That's when everything clicked.
The same message that inspired me at the start of my career had brought me to the start of a new chapter.
And that's where Become Pilates was born.
For me, Become means becoming more you.
Stronger.
Healthier.
More confident.
Whatever that looks like for you.
My hope is that every time you walk through the door, you leave feeling just a little more like yourself than when you arrived.
Because Become isn't about changing who you are.
It's about uncovering the version of yourself that's been there all along.
It's choosing to show up for yourself.
One class.
One movement.
One small step at a time.
