Age: 27

Star sign: Sagittarius

Tell us about your day job: I work in marketing as the Creative Lead in a media agency.Favourite thing to do when you’re not doing your day job? - Finding new places to eat, or recipes to cook!

How long have you been coming to Scout Pilates? Since you first opened back in 2019.

What keeps you coming back? I love the relaxed atmosphere. Gyms can be so loud and intense and I love that the instructors don’t focus on weight loss or “shredding”. It’s a really calming place to start or finish the day.

Favourite class and why? I love mat classes, particularly Barre Burn. I really do feel the burn every class!

Favourite pilates position? Child’s pose, between every position! (laughs)

Enough Pilates chat, what in your life gives you the most energy? My dog and cat, they keep me on my toes.

Tell us your favourite place to eat or drink in the Inner West and what you order when you’re there. I love Saga in Enmore, everything they do is great. But if you haven’t tried the breakfast sandwich, it’s a must.

What advice would you give to your 15-year-old self? Be patient.

What was the last text message you received? A two-factor authentication code haha.

If you could travel ANYWHERE tomorrow where would you go? Japan! Itching to go back.

What goal do you want to achieve by the end of the year? Move somewhere with a backyard for my dog.
