Instructors
I created Fitjoy three years ago and I teach the majority of the Fitjoy classes. I studied Dance and Performing Arts at Chichester University and also have my Modern Dance teaching qualification with the ISTD.
After studying I then went into gaining my teaching qualifications and now enjoying mixing the dance and fitness together with classes such as Zumba.
I currently teach around the West Sussex area as a Freelance Instructor, including Westgate, Goodwood Park hotel, The Art of Dance and Fitness and Bourne Leisure. I love teaching and enjoy making it motivational for participants. I have also experience of teaching in Barbados and big events.
I continually update my knowledge with new courses and attending fitness conventions.

Testimonial
“I do classes with Natalie Fitjoy Owen - she’s an amazing teacher! It doesn’t matter how flat tired or rubbish I’m feeling when I go in because by the time we’re through I’m flying! She gives us all so much energy that we can’t help to give it back in spades. I’d never been brave enough to go to an organized class in anything before, but I’m so pleased that I started this one. I’m fitter and more confident than before – thanks Natalie!”

I have personally been practising Pilates for over 5 years and qualified as a Level 3, REPs Approved Instructor just over a year ago.
I now work at several health clubs in the Chichesterarea; including Goodwood Hotel, Harbour Wayand Bourne Leisure – and, most recently, have joined Natalie’s team at Fitjoy.
I also started my own company – SMARTPILATES: at the core of wellbeing - from which I teach group classes in local village halls as well as offering one-to-one individually-tailored Pilates sessions in peoples homes.

I have always been into sport, doing swimming when I was younger and also basketball – which I still play.
I become interested in the fitness industry about 3 years ago when I took on an apprenticeship as a fitness instructor! Here my love grew for exercise classes and especially Zumba!!
I really enjoy being a Zumba instructor as it is such a buzz to see a whole class with massive grins throughout the class!
