JO WILLIAMS

She/Her

Jo teaches Pilates at FRESH.

Jo originally trained in theatre and movement at E.15 Acting School, over 40 years ago. Her love of these arts led Jo to working in many shows throughout the 1980s…and after having a family, the decision to train with London YMCA and other teaching facilities, culminated in an enjoyable career in Exercise To Music.

1999 brought Jo in touch with Michael King’s Pilates Institute, whereupon she has successfully trained in traditional Pilates with many of Joseph Pilates’ ambassadors. Jo is also Pilates tutor for Marlborough College Summer School.

Over the years Jo has worked with a multiple and varied clientele and moved alongside such luminaries as Mr. Motivator and Chico!! She has a great love of music and works at Cambridge Folk Festival as compere on the Main Stage, as well as other annual music and arts festivals.

Jo loves to bring warmth, humour and inclusivity into the class, as well as attention to detail for realistic and successful achievement.
