Our Team
Lauren Ford & Jodie Dingwall ~ Founders
Founded in 2025 from a passion for wellness and reformer pilates The Wellness Club Collective was born!
We set up our Studio to create a space where individuals could prioritise their health, both physically and mentally, as well as create a community of likeminded individuals. We wanted a space where people can workout, chill out and connect.
With a passion for movement and wellness, we wanted to offer a welcoming environment where people of all fitness levels could experience the benefits of Reformer and mat pilates, improve their strength and flexibility, and find balance in their lives. Our mission is to empower our clients to feel stronger, more confident, and healthier, all while fostering a sense of community and well-being.
We can’t wait to welcome you to The Wellness Club Collective!
Merve Simsek ~ Reformer Trainer
Hi, I’m Merve! I’m a certified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor with a deep passion for movement, wellness, and transformation. My background in engineering has given me a keen eye for precision, which I bring into my teaching—helping you move with strength, control, and mindfulness.
I believe Pilates should be a celebration of what your body can do. My goal is to create a supportive and uplifting space where you can build confidence, improve mobility, and feel empowered in your body. Whether you’re new to Reformer Pilates or looking to refine your practice, I’m here to guide you on a journey toward greater strength, confidence, and connection with yourself.
Join me at The Wellness Club Collective—I can’t wait to move with you!
Eszter Miskolczy ~ Reformer Trainer
Hi there, I’m Eszter.
My background in acting gave me a deep appreciation for movement and mindfulness, which ultimately led me to Pilates. This practice quickly became my way of connecting with my body on a deeper level. After experiencing multiple injuries, I discovered that Pilates was also the perfect way to strengthen, challenge, and heal through a gentle yet highly effective approach.
In my classes, I focus on alignment, strength, and balance, creating a supportive and inclusive space where every body is celebrated. To me, Pilates is more than just movement—it’s about finding balance, building awareness, and deepening the connection between mind and body.
My goal is for every client to leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and grateful for what their bodies can do.
Can’t wait to guide you on your own incredible Pilates journey at The Wellness Club Collective!
Fran ~ Reformer Trainer
Hey, I’m Fran! I’m a former dancer turned full-time Pilates instructor! I first discovered Pilates during my training at dance university, and it quickly became an essential part of my routine!
It has now grown into a full-blown passion - especially for Reformer Pilates, which I absolutely love for its dynamic, full-body benefits.
I aim to bring a bubbly energy to every class and love helping others feel strong and confident in their bodies. My goal is to create a session where you can challenge yourself, and leave feeling better than when you walked in x
Tegan ~ Reformer Trainer
Tegan discovered Pilates while she was studying Dance at Pretoria Technikon in 2000. She fell in love and decided to do a quick course through the Technikon before doing a full, comprehensive equipment course through Trifocus Pilates in 2007.
She worked at various studios in and around Johannesburg before opening a home studio when her 2 children arrived.
In 2017, her family moved to the UK and she started teaching Mat pilates locally. Tegan is so excited to share her passion for Pilates and teach reformer again as it is a brilliant way to strengthen and challenge your body. When not teaching, Tegan enjoys travelling and spending time with her family and dog - especially muddy walks in the beautiful British countryside.
Amy ~ Reformer Trainer
With a background in figure skating and a lifelong passion for fitness, I bring both discipline and creativity to my teaching. Trained in classical and modern Pilates repertoire, alongside being qualified in pre and postnatal Pilates, I love blending tradition with innovation to create spicy, dynamic classes that keep energy high while staying rooted to the core principles of Pilates.
My goal is to support clients in building strength and confidence, both physically and mentally, while making the journey fun and uplifting. I strive to create a welcoming space where every client leaves feeling empowered and inspired, bringing bubbly energy along with my love of country music and dogs. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing our love of Pilates!
