Class Information
If you've just found me - welcome to Achieve Pilates...
...my name is Fran and I've been teaching Pilates in and around Coventry and Warwickshire for over 20 years. During the first lockdown of 2020 I moved all my Pilates sessions online - a steep learning curve but a real lifeline for those members - and myself - who relished a little bit of 'normality' in our week...
As we all settled into the 'new normal' I returned to some venues but also decided to keep some Zoom sessions running as some clients find the option to Zoom really useful for many different reasons - work/life commitments, travel, distance, practicality, ill-health etc, etc.
You'll find my timetable for 2026 below with some sessions remaining purely online, some in-person only and some where there is the option to do either...I hope that this mix of formats will enable you to continue your Pilates practice however you prefer and in whichever way is most convenient for your lifestyle!

Pilates for All
Matwork Pilates that is suitable for ALL levels – there will be lots of options for beginners up to advanced participants. There is usually some standing work to begin and the main focus is then floor work including seated, side lying, on our backs and face down positions - although I always offer options if any of these positions aren't comfortable.
Pilates for Life
This class is modified Pilates (either performed standing or seated in a chair) with NO floor work. We focus mainly on building strength and balance & coordination work. It is suitable for anyone with Osteoporosis/penia, Osteoarthritis, Spondylosis, Spondylitis, replacement hips/knees, non-specific back or joint pain or any sort of mobility problems.
Achieve Bootcamp
In partnership with my husband Darren I also teach Achieve Bootcamp Online. This program is focused on bodyweight and cardio exercises to increase your overall fitness and strength with a strong element of nutrition and coaching to help achieve your health goals.

Testimonials from my amazing clients
Amanda G, Warwickshire
I really feel that Pilates helps to keep my body and mind balanced; without it I don't feel whole.
Helen M, Coventry
I often reflect that Pilates with Fran is one of the nicest hours of my week: a whole hour of reconnecting with my body, stilling my mind and stretching everything out. My sleep afterwards is always really sound too.
