Zoe Bowden - Studio Manager + Zumba, Zumba Toning & Aqua Aerobics
Alongside managing the day-to-day running of the Aztec Studio, I’m a fully qualified instructor in aerobics, aqua-aerobics, Zumba and Zumba Toning. My passion for fitness developed from a love of dance which started with ballet at the age of six, followed on by studies including Jazz, Modern, Latin American, Contemporary, Hip Hop and tap. I started working at TLH as a member of the resident entertainment team and as I come from a family of all singing all dancing successful entertainers, I guess it was inevitable that I’d follow a career in entertainment in some form or another. Zumba and Zumba Toning are a really fun way to keep fit and I would recommend them to anyone who loves to combine exercise and dance.
Julie Read - Yogalates & Body Basics
Julie has been teaching fitness for 25 years and specialises in Pilates/Body Balance which is a modern blend of Yoga/Pilates done to motivational music. Client care is top of her agenda, and all her classes are guaranteed to be challenging, achievable and fun.

Having had 3 children she feels there is nothing like pilates for reaping physical benefits - "A flatter stomach, great posture and freedom from back pain. Poor posture not only looks bad but is a major cause of back and joint pain in the body. Making pilates a part of your lifestyle compliments any other activity from those just looking for a pain free body to a range of sports people who want to improve their core strength and game". Claire loves what she does and enjoys helping others get fit and be happy.
