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!
Jaye Evans ~ Head Reformer Trainer
I’m a passionate Pilates instructor with a background in yoga. My journey began with yoga teacher training in India, where I fell in love with mindful movement. Discovering Pilates deepened my appreciation for strength, posture, and overall well-being. I’m passionate about helping people feel strong, move better, and feel great in their bodies!
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.

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!

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.
