Instructor Bio
Anne Tang
Anne, originally from Hong Kong, spent 20 years in the banking industry, working in both Hong Kong and Singapore. In 2006, she discovered Pilates while grappling with severe lower back and leg pain from wakeboarding injuries. Despite regular chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments, the pain persisted, encroaching on her daily life. Pilates offered significant relief, transforming her body through movement. Alongside diminished pain, Anne experienced a strengthened core, toned muscles, enhanced flexibility, and overall well-being. Enthralled by the benefits, she embraced a newfound enthusiasm for body movement, eventually transitioning from banking to become a full-time Pilates & GYROTONIC® instructor.She honed her craft at Isofit, Hong Kong's renowned Pilates & GYROTONIC® studio, as well as the exclusive studio at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hong Kong before relocating to London. Anne is passionate about imparting her expertise and enthusiasm to her clients, guiding them toward their fitness aspirations and fostering their health and happiness.
