Instructor/Owner

Sonia Lidington

My career in the fitness industry began in 1984 with Les Mills.  I started Progressive Pilates in 2001 and changed my focus and direction in the health and fitness industry. My passion had always been movement and teaching. As I aged, I felt the drive to find a program that fulfilled this passion as well as benefit my physical and mental wellbeing and Pilates did that for me.   

Outside of our studio, I like to keep active, whether that be walking, running or helping at my kids’ homes. An extra special time is getting away with a group of friends on a catered tramp and enjoying new parts of our country, great company, amazing food and much laughter. There are many places still on my wish list to visit, Portugal right at the top. All times with my partner, family and friends are treasured.
