Pilates Instructor Profile Fran King!
Fran has been a staple Reformer Pilates Instructor at Evolve for a good few months now.

We have certainly been grateful for having her as part of the Evolve Team.

We caught up with Fran to ask some more about her back ground and interests.
Tell us a bit about your background, where you are from and how you
came to Byron Bay?
I grew up in the UK on a horse agistment yard and rode competitively in Show Jumping for most of my younger years. I then started to explore the beautiful world and solo travelled through most continents, meeting lots of Aussies along the way. They sold me the dream and I have to say, I'm not disappointed in the slightest. After spending 5 years in Sydney's Northern beaches, perfecting my skills as a clinical Pilates Instructor, I ended up in Byron by accident and feel overwhelmingly lucky to call this paradise home.
What are you passionate about with Pilates and Rehabilitation?
I've always been fascinated by the body and the Sciences in general, with a natural inquisitive streak I found the How and Why behind things so interesting. After years of being thrown off horses and enjoying pretty much all sports, I suffered a spinal injury which put a big halt to my normal life, thanks to the Pilates Method and Rehabilitation I now get to enjoy my life pain free! This sparked my passion for understanding and working with our amazing bodies to create happy, healthy lives! I can't stop learning more and more and thoroughly enjoy the journey in my own body as well as supporting those with reaching their personal goals.
What are some activities you enjoy doing outside of teaching Pilates?
I have a farm which I provide lots of love and attention to and just enjoy being outside in general, whether that's (trying) to surf, exploring this wonderful land or simply relaxing in the sunshine. It's a very good life!
