Penny Gorman

Reformer Pilates Instructor

After nearly 30 years as a Primary School teacher, transitioning into Pilates felt like a natural and exciting next step. Teaching has always been at the heart of who I am, and I now blend my love of learning, connecting with people, and passion for movement in every class I lead.

As a qualified UK Athletics Leader in Running Fitness and an experienced long-distance and ultra-marathon runner, I discovered Pilates and Reformer training many years ago to support my own performance. It has been transformative — strengthening my core, improving resilience, preventing injury, and just as importantly, providing space to reset and calm the mind.

I truly believe Pilates is for everybody, at every stage of life and fitness. Whether you’re new to movement or looking to enhance athletic performance, I’m passionate about helping you build strength, confidence, and balance in a supportive environment.

Jack at Winchester Physio & Health was fantastic. During my appointment I had a thorough assessment of my injury and a couple of very effective treatments. I left with some exercises to complete and and a prescribed reduction of running mileage. And now I'm fixed. Couldn't ask for more. Five stars. Would recommend.

I found Winchester Physio & Health online after getting injured 6 weeks out from a marathon. I booked an appointment with Sabrina and she quickly diagnosed the problem and prescribed me a series of exercises. After the first visit I was back on my feet with caution, and after a few more visits I was back to full fitness in time for my race. Sabrina not only had the skills to get me sorted but also had awareness and understanding of marathon training and had experience in adapting my plan to still achieve my goals. I came in with an injury that I was certain had finished me off and I left with the strength to complete my marathon in a time I didn’t imagine was achievable.

The holistic care and guidance I have received from Jack Winyard has been invaluable. As a woman my 40s, presenting with complex knee, back and shoulder issues. Jack has guided me through the multiple specialists I’ve needed to consult and managed my rehab. I can highly recommend!

I train regularly with a mix of weight training, running, and Hyrox sessions. Recently, I experienced extreme tightness in my calf muscles, despite stretching regularly. I was genuinely concerned that I wouldn't be able to take part in a Hyrox event I had planned. Thankfully, I saw Sabrina, who provided targeted sports massage and expert advice that made a huge difference. I honestly didn’t expect such a quick improvement, but after seeing her, everything changed , I was able to participate in my event after all! Going forward, I’ll be incorporating regular sessions with Sabrina as part of my training routine. I can’t thank her enough. The clinic itself is lovely, clean, and conveniently located in Winchester. I also really appreciated the early morning appointment slots, which make it easy to fit into a busy schedule juggling work and family life. Thank you so much, Sabrina and Winchester Physio and Health — highly recommended!

Eloise Jenninger

This was my first time visiting a physio, for a small knee injury. I found the clinic online and saw Sabrina. She was really helpful and recommended exercises that I would have to do 3 times a week, my knee healed after about two months. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her

Sabrina is excellent; practical, pragmatic, challenging and positive. Kitty is fab at the front desk too!
