Meet the Team

Lesley’s love for movement started with ballet at age six and has stayed with her ever since. After a serious pelvis injury in 2002, she discovered Pilates during rehab, and quickly fell in love with its whole-body, mind-and-breath approach.

She trained with Renée Watson and has been teaching since 2008, helping clients build strength, confidence, and ease in their bodies. Pineapple Pilates grew from her vision of creating a calm, welcoming space where everyone can move at their own pace and feel supported.

Originally from Jersey, Veronica moved to Somerset West in 2022 and has been part of the Pineapple Pilates team ever since.

With a 10-year career in musical theatre, her journey into Pilates began through injury rehabilitation, which led her to train with BASI Pilates in 2015. She now specialises in using Pilates to support recovery, strength, and movement through all stages of life.


A mum to Maya (born in 2025), she’s especially passionate about helping people feel strong, supported, and capable in their bodies, wherever they’re at.

Meet Caitlyn. Meticulous by nature, encouraging by heart.

She's powered by Pilates, gym sessions, fresh air, strong cores... and the occasional margarita. Think Monica Geller energy, but make it Pilates.
Caitlyn brings precision, good vibes, and just the right amount of fire to every class... she's all Pineapple Pilates vibes.

Babette discovered Pilates at 10 years old and has loved the mind–body connection ever since. She trained as an instructor in 2026 through Renée Watson.

With a background in dance, she brings a strong focus on alignment, control, and fluid movement to her classes. She’s especially interested in fascia and how it supports the body as a whole.


Babette loves helping clients move more freely, feel stronger, and notice the small, meaningful changes Pilates brings into everyday life.

I was informally introduced to Pilates more than 13 years ago through my godmother, and my love for it has grown ever since, which has led me to where I am today. I’ve been doing ballet since the age of three and still dance today, which has shaped my appreciation for control, alignment, and fluid movement which is something I carry into my Pilates classes. 

With a degree in Sports Science, I bring a strong, informed approach to movement, combining knowledge of biomechanics and body awareness to support safe and effective movement. I completed my Pilates training in 2023 through Renée Watson, and have developed a genuine passion for helping others move well, feel strong, and connect with their bodies through mindful movement.
