OUR GUNS - HELPING SHAPE YOURS

  • Jo mCgrath - Owner / Trainer / Nutritionist

    Jo fell in love with Pilates 12 years ago and has been practicing regularly ever since. Jo recently left the corporate world with a clear vision - to create a studio that offered outstanding customer service, excellent tailored classes, and Trainers that care about their clients’ needs.

    “It’s important to me that our clients feel part of our community - they look forward to training with us, but also enjoy the social, engaging aspect that this environment should provide. Also that our Trainers are happy and engaged so they provide the best classes. Train, laugh and build lasting friendships - that is what we are striving for at The Core Cartel.”

    Jo is also our Nutritionist, and is determined to help her clients achieve not only their fitness goals, but to help them fuel their body correctly too.

    If you have any concerns about your diet Jo can help guide you to achieving you health goals.

    Outside of Pilates, Jo enjoys a Champagne, travelling, reading anything that fuels her brain, and spending as much time as she can with her three sons and her dog Harley - whom you will meet regularly in the Studio

  • Eloise Lambert

    Eloise has danced from a young age and fell in love with teaching dance as a teenager, and realised it was going to be a lifelong passion.

    She completed her Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) and worked high schools and a corporate training role for a number of years, before making the decision to study with Studio Pilates and broaden her skill set.

    Eloise then officially moved to the Pilates industry in 2021 and hasn’t looked back!

    “I love the incredible people you meet in this industry and the creative approach that lines up so perfectly with my skills as a dance teacher.”

    Eloise is currently working towards completing a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction - Clinical (2022) which allows her the opportunity to work 1:1 with clients returning from injury or those pre/post-natal.

    Eloise loves her footy (Carlton) an aperol spritz and thinks The Spice Girls Movie is the greatest film ever made.

    We are so excited to have Eloise as part of The Core Cartel Team. We know you will love her classes.

  • Jacinta Fowles

    Jacinta has been an addict of both mat and reformer Pilates for about 5 years. She fell in love with reformer Pilates and the positive changes she instantly felt in her body. As a result of that, Jacinta completed her instructor training with Breathe Education. Jacinta has loved teaching ever since and loves seeing her clients grow and develop in her classes.

    “My classes are dynamic, energetic, strong and inclusive. I love to have a laugh and create a fun space for everybody to move freely and confidently in.”

    Jacinta comes with experience and knowledge which we know you will feel come through in her classes. We are thrilled to have Jacinta as part of The Core Cartel Team.

  • Steph Freeland-Small

    Steph made a life change leaving her corporate role in marketing to follow her true passion in health and wellness. An eternal Student, Steph is currently undertaking her Masters in Human Resource Management, driven by her love of people. Steph is a tragic Hawks supporter, loves a Chardy, her weekends in Eildon and classic 80’s (which will grace her playlist regularly in the Studio.)

    “I am all about life balance and enjoying what I do. The reason I love Pilates, is the feeling of becoming one with your body and mind, which I am excited to help our clients feel in my classes.”

    Steph is a huge asset to our studio and we know you will love her.

  • Tracy Tew

    Tracy has been teaching both Yoga and Pilates for 16+ years, and has a knack for making everyone in her classes feel right at home, while she makes their glutes hurt. Her experience and knowledge with both the reformer and the body is a huge advantage for The Core Cartel. Don’t let this little pocket rocket fool you, her classes are tough but you’ll always enjoy a laugh.

    “I help create great butts!”

    Tracy also manages to raise four sons, a cat and a dog, and for some reason, she has a life sized cut out of Jennifer Aniston in her living room.

    Tracy is a just another one of our Guns whom you will enjoy training with at The Core Cartel.

  • Hannah-Claire Fortune

    Hannah is a Pilates addict and a great instructor. He classes are engaging, fun and always interesting.

    Hannah is currently studying journalism.

    Hannah will surprise and delight you in every class she takes - don’t let her innocent looks fool you. The Core Cartel is so happy to have Hannah on the Team.

  • Harley McGrath - MASCOT

    Harley is the Studio mascot. She is a 10 month old Toy Cavoodle that is pure joy. You will see her from time to time in the studio. She just loves people and brings a smile to the face of anyone.
