Anita Lobban
Anita is a certified Mat & Reformer STOTT PILATES Instructor and a LEVEL 3 Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor who works from her home studio in Sale, Cheshire and The Northwest Pilates & Yoga Studio in St Helens, as well as at various Health Clubs around SW Greater Manchester.
Anita was born and brought up in the south of England but has spent most of her working life overseas in North Africa and the Middle East originally following her passion for languages, travel and foreign cultures before settling in the Sultanate of Oman to work as Fitness Manager for the Middle East’s first 5 star Ladies Health & Fitness Spa and then setting up her own Fitness business in Fitness Management Consultancy, Instructor Training and Personal Training. Anita moved into Leisure Club Management in Dubai in 2000 where she continued her passion for health & fitness by leading group exercise classes and Personal Training in her spare time.
In July 2010 Anita finally returned home, choosing East Cheshire as her new base mainly due to its proximity to the mountains of The Lake District and North Wales where she loves to climb, hike, bike and camp. Anita now devotes herself full-time to helping people reach their full physical and spiritual potential through Pilates, Life Coaching and Nutrition.
