Karen Hatcher
One to One & Sports Therapy
Karen was selected to join Helen’s advanced teaching apprenticeship scheme after completing the Diploma in Health and Fitness Studies (gaining a Distinction) course at FCOT.
Karen and Helen met over 25 years ago when she attended teacher training at FCOT where Helen was the course director. Her dedication, diligence and bubbly personality made her a stand-out student which resulted in Helen offering her an apprenticeship when Karen completed her course. Karen passed her apprenticeship with flying colours and of course, she immediately joined the team, and a long friendship, mutual love, and respect resulted.
Karen teaches a variety of group exercises, one-to-one and small group sessions, (including studio cycling, strength and conditioning and pre/postnatal exercise prescription). Karen is a sports massage therapist and is passionate about teaching Pilates. She finds the satisfaction gained from working with clients to improve their mobility, posture and well-being most rewarding.
