My Story, My Vision
Lucy Angell, Founder and Creator of LA Pilates
I always wanted to help people and Pilates became something that allowed me to do this while still enjoying one of my main passions in life.
When I was 28, I had a herniated disc which left me helpless and down in the dumps. I had to give up dancing and consequently my dance school, along with a lot of other things that gave me pleasure.
Nothing was working for me, so I decided to go back to Pilates to try and help me and I never looked back.
I had practiced Pilates (mat) since I was 15years old, compulsory as part of my dancing, however this time I really got the benefits of what Pilates can give you from the apparatus, mainly the reformer. In my case, without sounding too dramatic, it gave me my life back.
Within 2 months of attending classes, I started to realise the agonising pain I had been experiencing was no longer there. I was becoming stronger and I had my 'Lucy Spark' back, I even managed to run the Truro half marathon in 2018.
Pilates became my lifeline, not only did it give me the strength that enables me to enjoy life pain free but it gave me a life / career I love waking up for each day. … isn’t that the dream?
I consider myself very lucky to be able to teach what I am so passionate about. After all, if I could fix myself, I knew I could help others and that is why I do what I do.

"Started Pilates after pelvic surgery so litterally had to start at the basics. Lucys Gentle Pilates class was perfect and I am now an Intermediate. Lucy is brilliant, patient and really listens to individual needs and adapts classes acordingly. I thoughly recomend her for group, online or 121's and a well earned 5 stars for the force of nature that is Lucy."
