About Purely Pilates

Keeley Craigie

Pilates Master Instructor
Studio Owner

I have 30 years experience in the health and fitness industry. During this time I have been a fitness instructor, sports therapist and for 5 years the general manager of a busy health and fitness club.

I have been teaching Pilates since 2000. My formal training and certification was from the Pilates Institute of London. During 2012, I joined Balanced Body Education to train as a Pilates Teacher Trainer. As a Balanced Body Master Instructor, I am certified to run Pilates teacher training courses for Mat, Reformer and other Apparatus. I am also certified to run courses for Anatomy in 3 Dimensions.

Balanced Body is the world’s largest Pilates organisation. My studio is an authorised Balanced Body Training Centre, one of only three in the UK. I regularly attend workshops and training modules to further advance my own knowledge.
