Lucy Joslin

Calisthenics + Pilates

I have nearly 25 years experience in the fitness industry. During my career, I have studied various disciplines to deepen my understanding of different movement practices. Finally finding my true passion in Calisthenics, I combine my background in more traditional fitness training with the body control of pilates and the exacting approach to alignment of Iyengar yoga.

 

Motivated by the high I felt herself when achieving new skills like pull up, handstand, splits or pancake (all achieved in my forties post children) I easily empathise with my students whatever their level, whatever skill they are chasing, and at whatever point on their journey they may be. My passion and enthusiasm is contagious and my classes are fun, friendly, safe spaces to be. Driven by my core belief that movement should be inclusive, I am sensitive to the needs of each individual student and specialises in creating work arounds for students who maybe stuck or injured. My classes are very supportive place to be, where students not only learn from me but also from each other. Expect to be challenged and work hard but in an achievable, satisfying way.

 

Qualifications:

  • RSA Level 3 Fitness Trainer – DCB Fitness
  • Iyengar yoga – Level 2/Introductory

Class Descriptions

Calisthenics

Trained in the Cali Kulture method by Jermaine Straker and drawing on her 25 years of teaching experience in various movement practices, Lucy brings a unique perspective to her classes.

Motivated by the high that she felt herself when achieving new skills like pull up, handstand, splits or pancake (all achieved in her forties post children,) she easily empathises with her students whatever their level, whatever skill they are chasing, and at whatever point on their journey they may be.  Driven by her core belief that movement should be inclusive, and passionate about helping students move past their own boundaries, self-imposed or otherwise, she specialises in creating modifications and work arounds for students who maybe stuck or injured.
Her classes have a supportive, playful atmosphere where students not only learn from her but also from each other. Form focused and strong on technique, she combines detailed instructions and hands-on adjustments with drills that will make your eyes water! Expect to work hard and to challenge yourself but in a safe, achievable, satisfying way.


For complete beginners to those with previous knowledge of calisthenics.
