Physiofit Education officially launched in 2014, however the courses developed as an extension of the programme that Jenny Heron was already delivering to her team of Pilates instructors. Events are usually held at our venue in Horsforth, North Leeds, however we also offer in-house training. All our tutors are qualified physiotherapists and Pilates instructors and have a wealth of practical experience as well as up to date, evidence based knowledge. We are looking to expand our range of courses and workshops so stay in touch for future developments.
