The Faces
Of Train Me.
Train Me is built by real, active instructors, studio owners and allied health professionals, not academics. These are the people shaping the standard, the educators you may train alongside, and the team keeping the whole movement running.
Across Our Intakes
Em Kruz
A dancer turned Pilates instructor, Em has taught across some of Perth's best-known studios, created online content, led international retreats and taught the world while living in Indonesia. Now she pours that experience into mentoring the next generation, with a practical, confidence-first approach to building job-ready teachers.
Demi Nielsen
Owner of Carve Studio, a strength-focused reformer space in Christchurch, Demi left nearly a decade in corporate marketing to teach full time. She programs with purpose and evidence, always leading with the why, and knows exactly what makes a trainer stand out to a hiring studio, because she does the hiring.
Ana Anastopoulos
Ana teaches where intention beats trend and strength is built from the inside out. Grounded in fundamentals and a no-nonsense approach, she prepares instructors for the real world of teaching, not just pretty sequences. Her education is built on precision, purpose and progress, bridging the gap between curiosity and genuine capability.
Laura Cruden
With over a decade in the industry and a wall of qualifications spanning Pilates, yoga, barre and more, Laura has owned and run studios in Sydney and WA. She teaches strong, supportive and empowering, and brings both technical mastery and real-life experience to every course she delivers.
Ebony
Owner of Sunroom in Broome, Ebony runs her studio and her team to the highest of standards, nothing watered down, nothing left to chance. A busy mum who knows how to make movement fit real life, she brings that same rigour and warmth to educating the next generation of instructors.
Roshelle Dell
Founder of Pure Pilates NT, Roshelle brings high energy, creativity and a big dose of good vibes to everything she does. A certified PT with a stack of Pilates and fitness qualifications, and a busy mum of two, she's on a mission to help people feel strong, capable and seriously proud of themselves.
The Curriculum
Annie Counsel
Trained under an Exercise Physiologist, Annie's reformer teaching was grounded in strength, biomechanics and purposeful programming from day one. That vision became Street Pilates, a specialised reformer space built around structure, progression and measurable results.
Luke Walker
Our in-house physiotherapist, with more than 17 years across national-level swimming, coaching, personal training, group fitness and nearly a decade of physio practice. Luke bridges rehabilitation and confident movement with practical, evidence-based strategy.
It All Running
Chelsea
The driving force behind the student experience, working alongside Annie as Head of Student Relations. From your first enquiry to graduation, Chelsea makes sure every student feels supported and connected. A certified PT and proud Train Me alumni.
Aimee
Based at TME HQ in Melbourne, Aimee lives and breathes movement. Years of reformer and mat experience, teaching at top Melbourne studios, managing studios and working in advertising for them. That blend of depth and detail is why she assesses your work.
Annie Counsel
Annie is the owner of Street Pilates in Bayside Melbourne, a strength-inspired reformer studio where clients move with purpose and build real confidence. With a background in sports coaching, gym training and Pilates mentoring, she knows firsthand the doubts that come with learning and teaching Pilates.
As the founder of Train Me, her mission is to help aspiring instructors break through self-doubt, build real-world skills, and step confidently into careers they love. She knows what it feels like to question whether you're good enough, and she's dedicated to guiding trainers through every hurdle.
For Annie, teaching Pilates is about more than technique. It's about developing the next generation of instructors who will raise the standard of the industry, one confident trainer at a time.
