Our story...
Pose Fitness was founded by Sarah Celia Partington, a former professional dancer and performer with a passion for helping people discover the joy of movement.
Inspired by her background in ballet, Sarah created Pose Barre to bring the strength, grace and technique of dance into a fun, welcoming fitness class that anyone could enjoy: no dance experience required.
As Northamptonshire's original barre studio, Pose Fitness opened its doors in 2018 at the historic Royal Ordnance Depot in Weedon Bec, before growing to offer Yoga, Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and Adult Ballet alongside its signature Pose Barre classes.
What started as one studio and one vision has continued to grow. Today, Pose Barre is also a nationally recognised teacher training programme, with instructors across the UK sharing Sarah's unique approach to movement.
In 2023, Pose Fitness entered an exciting new chapter when Katherine, Ali and Abi took over the studio. Having each been part of the Pose community for years, they were passionate about carrying Sarah's vision forward while bringing their own experience, ideas and energy to the studio.
Although the faces behind the scenes have changed, the heart of Pose Fitness hasn't. We're still here to help people move well, feel stronger, build confidence and be part of a friendly community where everybody is welcome.
MEET THE OWNERS

katherine
Katherine has been teaching yoga for over a decade and has always believed that movement has the power to transform both body and mind. Alongside her passion for health and wellbeing, she has built a successful career in retail, gaining experience across a wide variety of leadership and management roles.
Her calm approach, attention to detail and commitment to creating exceptional experiences help shape the welcoming atmosphere that Pose Fitness is known for.

ali
Ali's career began in the world of musical theatre, performing in London's West End as well as appearing in television and film productions. Throughout her career, movement has always been central to her life.
Alongside performing, Ali has spent many years teaching and inspiring others through aerobics, aqua fitness and dance. Today, she is the creative force behind Pose Barre, combining the elegance of dance with functional fitness to create classes that are both challenging and enjoyable.

abi
After spending many years travelling the world and building a career in the tourism industry, Abi discovered yoga and its ability to support both physical and mental wellbeing.
​
Inspired to share those benefits with others, she trained as a yoga teacher and now leads classes with a focus on mindful movement, strength and connection. Behind the scenes, Abi also looks after Pose Fitness' marketing, social media and communications, helping to grow and strengthen the studio's community.
At Pose Fitness, we believe movement should be enjoyable, accessible and empowering. Whether you're stepping into the studio for the very first time or have years of experience, you'll find expert instruction, friendly faces and a supportive community waiting for you.
Our timetable brings together a wide variety of classes, including yoga, Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Pose Barre, Classical Adult and strength-based movement, allowing you to find the style of movement that feels right for you.
our community
The friendships built within our studio are just as important as the classes themselves. Pose Fitness is a place where people encourage one another, celebrate progress together and leave feeling stronger, healthier and more connected than when they arrived.
Pose Fitness is a space where people feel visible and seen, bringing together a community of support and encouragement.
We're incredibly proud of the vision Sarah began, and we're honoured to continue building and bringing community into the space for years to come.
We look forward to welcoming you to the studio soon.
