Jodie - Rute Director & Reformer Instructor
With over 15 years in the fitness industry, Jodie brings energy, expertise, and a true passion for movement to our studio.
She’s a highly skilled instructor across multiple disciplines, a dedicated Pilates teacher, and a qualified sports masseur. Jodie has created her own unique method, combining classical Pilates, dynamic movement, and Reformer strength training to help clients build strength, confidence, and a real connection with their bodies.
At Rute Studio, her mission is simple: to create a space where every client feels welcome, supported, and inspired to move, grow, and thrive.
Bryony - Rute Manager & Instructor
With a background in both Yoga and Reformer Pilates, she uses breath as an anchor — something that keeps you present while you’re pushing your limits. She’s our Rute Manager and Instructor, so she knows the studio inside out — not just as a teacher, but as someone who helps create the space and experience for everyone who walks through the door. Her classes are dynamic and genuinely fun. She’s particularly brilliant at them — expect to burn, sweat, and sculpt, but in a way that respects what your body actually needs. She focuses on “Controlled Kinetic Loading” (strengthening your body through its full range of motion), which is all about building longevity, not just short-term results. You’ll work hard in Bryony’s classes. But you’ll also move with purpose, and you’ll leave feeling like your body can do more than you thought.
Flick - Pilates Instructor
Flick has been teaching movement for 17 years - first as a professional dancer, now as a Pilates instructor. She trained at a performing arts school from age 9, where she was introduced to Pilates by Alan Herdman. After years touring as a performer, she came back to Pilates when she needed movement and balance again. It stuck. She’s STOTT Pilates trained (Level 3 in Matwork and Reformer) with a degree in Dance. Her classes are strong, dynamic, and energetic - she’s big on technique and form, but makes sure everyone feels capable, whatever their level.
Rachael - Pilates Instructor
Rachael has been teaching Reformer Pilates while also working as cabin crew for over 20 years. She’s traveled the world, met thousands of people, and brings that energy and warmth into every class. Her passion is helping people move better and she makes sure everyone feels supported, whatever their level. Her smile is infectious, her classes feel welcoming, and she’ll guide you through your practice at the pace that works for you.
You’ll find her on Sundays at 10am and Fridays at 10:30am.
