Unlocking your potential through mindset and movement, helping you grow and make an impact.
Hi, I’m Jess
I’m Jess, the founder of Function and Poise Training.
I am a Pilates Teacher and Personal Trainer based in Cheshire and available to work with clients around the globe, offering 1:1 coaching, small group training, wellness days, fitness retreats & more.
My passion for guiding people to improve their posture, strength and reduce the chance of injuries mindset to allow them to live a long, happy and ache free life.
With over 10 years of experience working alongside physiotherapists, professional athletes and young adults with disabilities, before beginning Function and Poise Training in 2022.
After trying all the trends of the fitness industry, i had enough and decided to do my own education and find what worked for me. I discovered the power of altering my mindset and Pilates work which has resulted in my entire life changing on how i view my body.
My aim is to help clients create life changing transformations, build lasting results, improved flexibility and strength.
Function & Poise Ethos
Function & Poise is an expression of strength and softness.
This brand was born from a personal place. For years, I navigated multiple operations leading to gut issues and low self-esteem. Health and fitness became more than just tools, they became a way to rebuild myself, mentally and physically. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your body, and I also know how powerful it is when you finally come home to it.
That’s what I want for every woman who finds Function & Poise. A space to feel seen and heard.
I wanted to build a brand for the women who show up, even on the days they don’t feel like it. The women navigating new phases of life, not trying to 'bounce back,' but move forward.
Stronger, steadier, more grounded in who they are becoming. This brand is an ode to them. To us.
Function & Poise is both my professional experience and personal passion. It’s where my background in Pilates, strength training, and women’s wellness come together. Every movement, every session is designed to honour the female body as it evolves. The sessions are rooted in quality over quantity.
With no ego, no pressure. Just function and poise.
We don’t chase extremes or aesthetics. We build strength that feels good, looks natural, and supports real life, from lifting your confidence to lifting your grandchildren.
As a brand, we are here for real women, in real seasons of life. We’re continuously learning, evolving and holding space for deeper conversations around menopause, movement and mindset. I am proud to be a brand that reflects compassion, community, and quiet confidence.
Function & Poise is more than training, it’s a return to yourself.
