FORME Studio

Why We Started FORME

FORME was born from a very real, very personal journey.

For years, my relationship with my body and fitness was inconsistent. My weight fluctuated from underweight to obese, my motivation came and went, and I often found myself stuck in cycles of crash diets, pushing hard, burning out, and starting again.

Movement has always been part of my life. I grew up playing sports like netball, hockey and tennis, later finding polo and an obsession with the gym. To try and combat my body image issues over the years I explored everything from personal trainers and strength training, to swimming, running, high-intensity workouts and circuit training.

From the outside, it looked like commitment. But nothing ever felt truly sustainable, and after a while all the weight would return and my motivation left. What I didn’t realise at the time was that it wasn’t about discipline, it was my mental health. When that wasn’t in a good place, nothing else could be either.

Then life shifted.

After years in a demanding corporate career, I became a mum, and suddenly I was trying to balance work, family and everything in between. After a caesarean, I had lost most of my core strength, and almost a year later I experienced postnatal depression. I felt so disconnected from my body, overwhelmed, and at my lowest point both physically and mentally, even though my life felt so complete with our little family.

Then I found Pilates.

It wasn’t about extremes or pressure. It was about rebuilding... gently strengthening my body, reconnecting with myself, and finding a sense of balance I’d never had before.

That’s why FORME was created.

A space that understands movement isn’t just physical - it’s mental too. A place to build strength, reconnect with your body, and feel supported, whatever stage of life you’re in.

Because feeling good in your body shouldn’t be temporary, it should last. That’s what we’re here to help you build, so if you’re ready to feel stronger and more balanced, then you’re in the right place.
