SCOUT INSTRUCTOR SERIES - Meet Amy
AMY MATHIAS
How long have you been teaching Pilates?
I have been teaching Pilates since the beginning of this year, and I' ve been teaching here for about six months. But prior to that, I had been a member at Scout since the earliest days!
What is your favourite class to teach at Scout?
I love to teach Reformer Circuit, I like the extraordinary energy in the room. I feel like I'm also getting activity at the same time!
What is your favourite Pilates exercise?
I love carriage burpees because it' s a good way to get your core in, as well as a lot of cardio, as well as a lot of moving around. I just think it' s quite fun!!
What's your favourite thing about teaching?
I like building a connection with people and I believe it's a very good way to be in the community. I’m very local to Newtown, and it's lovely to see so many common faces - I really like this community here.
What do you like to do when you’re not teaching?
When I'm not teaching, you’ll find me walking my dog around Newtown - that gives me the most energy! I love hanging out, meeting friends for a coffee or even going to the pub.
What advice would you give to someone who is just starting Pilates?
Just enjoy the process! Everyone has to start somewhere. If you don' t know what you' re doing or you find yourself a bit lost in the group, that's why the beautiful instructors are here for!
