Teachers at Bamboo Fitness

Crystal Palace London

Alexandra Johnson

Alex came to Pilates through injury and now wouldn’t be without it. A few years ago she slipped a disc in her back (underwent spine surgery) and Pilates was an essential and crucial part of the recovery. Having been a bit of a gym bunny, a (dodgy) disco dancer and teen swimmer she found Pilates to be the only exercise to prevent injury as it’s rooted in anatomy and designed around how your joints and muscles work; it strengthens all those important little muscles. She loved it so much she became STOTT Matwork qualified and has been teaching the delightful people around Crystal Palace since.

Beyond her love of Pilates, she worked in telly for many years for all the big channels and a lot of the little ones too as a Casting Producer and Producer/Director.

She lives locally with the love of her life – her little girl Josie, Pepper the cockapoo, a cat that thinks he’s a dog , his crazy furball sister and last but not least (!) her partner.

Alex likes to ensure everyone feels comfortable, works within their body’s capabilities and pushes themselves just that little bit to get the most from the sessions. She looks forward to seeing you soon.
