Lynne Robinson has been a trailblazer in the Pilates movement in the UK, with her name and image becoming synonymous with the practice. She is recognised as the world’s top-selling Pilates author and presenter, with her books and videos available in over thirty countries and millions of copies sold.

Lynne’s journey with Pilates began in 1992 in Sydney, Australia, where she was recommended to take up classes to address her long-standing severe back problems. She studied under Penny Latey in Sydney and completed her formal Pilates training upon returning to London.

In 1995, Lynne Robinson co-founded Body Control Pilates after witnessing the rapid expansion of a weekly mat class she started in Sevenoaks, Kent, which quickly grew to 20 classes per week. This success inspired her to establish a teacher training course to help as many people as possible experience the benefits of Pilates.

Lynne’s influence has been widely recognised in the UK. The Times newspaper has dubbed her “The Queen of Pilates,” while the Observer called her “The undisputed First Lady of Pilates.” Acknowledging her impact on fitness and training techniques, the London Evening Standard included her in their list of London’s ‘Power People,’ highlighting the capital’s three hundred most influential individuals.

Lynne has worked with many elite teams and athletes, including the Football Association, the England Cricket Team, and Chelsea Football Club, where she taught players in the first team and reserve squads and collaborated closely with the club’s medical management, and West Bromwich Albion FC. Her private clients have included celebrities such as Liz Hurley, Sophie Dahl, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Hollie Willoughby, Hugh Grant, Pat Cash, and Kyran Bracken.
