Meet the women behind Core Life. Experienced coaches, one shared mission- helping you feel strong, confident and supported.
Meet Charlotte
Founder of Core Life by Charlotte | Personal Trainer & Pilates Instructor
Hi, I'm Charlotte, the founder of Core Life by Charlotte!
With over 16 years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, I'm a qualified Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and fitness coach with a passion for helping people feel stronger, healthier and more confident in themselves.
With experience in strength training, Mat Pilates, Barre, pre- and postnatal fitness and pelvic floor strengthening, my approach focuses on improving mobility, building functional strength and supporting overall physical and mental wellbeing.
As a mum of two, I understand how challenging it can be to prioritise yourself while juggling everyday life. That's why I believe fitness should be accessible, enjoyable and sustainable, whatever your age, ability or starting point.
My own personal journey has shaped my philosophy that fitness is about so much more than appearance. It's about building confidence, developing a positive relationship with your body and celebrating what it can achieve.
Through Core Life, I offer personalised training, online coaching and supportive group classes, creating a welcoming space where everyone feels encouraged, empowered and part of a community.
My mission is simple: to help you become the strongest, most confident version of yourself — physically and mentally.
Strong. Confident. You.
