SportFit Pilates 40+

Strong, intelligent Pilates for women who want to keep active and playing sport for life.

Created by Chartered Physiotherapist, APPI Pilates instructor, and England Masters hockey player Heidi Wells, SportFit Pilates 40+ helps active women build strength, reduce injuries, and move confidently through every stage of life.

This is not gentle background exercise, but no previous Pilates experience is required to get started. It’s performance-focused Pilates designed specifically for active women over 40.

Please watch the video in which I explain why my video-on-demand Pilates programme will suport you whatever activity you love doing.

My Background
I’m Heidi, a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 35 years of clinical experience and a deep passion for helping people move well, stay strong, and return confidently to the sports they love. Throughout my career, I’ve specialised in knee and hip injury, supporting athletes and active individuals through rehabilitation and back to performance. But my understanding of injury, resilience and strength isn’t only clinical — it’s personal.

Ten years ago, I ruptured my ACL playing hockey. That moment could have ended my competitive sport — instead, it reshaped how I trained. Pilates became the cornerstone of my rehabilitation. It rebuilt my strength, restored my confidence, and reconnected me to my body in a smarter, more intelligent way. In recent years, I proudly represented England O50s in the Hockey Masters World Cup and O55s in winning Gold at the European Cup. I still play hockey competitively and love cycling, skiing and running whenever life allows.

More recently, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis — a long-term inflammatory condition affecting the spine. It was another reminder that our bodies evolve, and that movement must evolve with them. Rather than stepping back, I’ve become even more committed to training intelligently and living actively.

For the past 10 years, I have taught Pilates as an APPI-qualified instructor, blending physiotherapy expertise with dynamic, purposeful movement. SportFit Pilates 40+ is the result of everything I’ve learned — in clinic, on the field, and in my own recovery.
