Lisa Gardyn
Pilates instructor
Get to know Lisa
Born in France, I started classical and jazz dance at the age of 6 and practised classical dance for 20 years.
I taught fitness from 2000 to 2015, and earned a Sport Science degree (fitness, powerlifting and weightlifting) in France in 2004.
I began to practise and teach Pilates in 2007. That same year I became the owner and instructor of my own gym, teaching fitness and Pilates for 8 years before I moved to Jersey.
In 2020 I took the opportunity to retrain, and qualified with BASI Pilates UK (Body Arts and Science International) in both Mat and Apparatus. I am also certified in Pilates for injuries and pathologies.
