Meet Siân — Founder of EVOLVE
I created EVOLVE to offer more than just great Pilates – I wanted to build a space where people feel truly supported, encouraged, and proud of what their bodies can achieve. With a background in finance and business, I’ve always valued structure and high standards – but it’s through teaching that I found my true passion: helping people feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to their movement.
EVOLVE was born from a love of Pilates, a desire for flexibility in my own life, and a vision to create something meaningful. My journey began in 2016 as a client in a Reformer studio – and within a year, I was training as a teacher while pregnant with my son. I taught through maternity leave, launched ‘The Pilates Mummy’, and continued alongside a part-time corporate career.
In 2022, after navigating burnout in an inflexible job around the demands of family life, I knew it was time to make a change. EVOLVE launched in early 2023 as a private 1:1 studio in Tysoe. Two years later, it’s grown into two boutique locations – including our first group studio in Long Compton.
Team EVOLVE
EVOLVE may be growing, but we’ll always be personal. Our teaching team has been handpicked not just for their expertise, but for their warmth, professionalism, and commitment to client care.
Each teacher brings their own style and energy to the studio – but they all share one mission: to help you move well, feel strong, and enjoy every step of your Pilates journey.
