CC Coaching

Promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Caroline Coker, and I’ve been teaching, coaching, and supporting people through movement for over 25 years. I began my career as a primary school PE specialist — a role I absolutely loved — but like many people, I felt the pull to explore new paths. I became a nanny, and later retrained as a Pilates Teacher, which opened the door to the work I’m so passionate about today.

My own health challenges, injuries, and setbacks led me to Pilates, and it completely changed my life. I retrained, stepped into a role running the gym and exercise classes in a retirement village, and during that time completed my Personal Training apprenticeship with distinction — proof that you’re never too old to learn.

Alongside this, I trained as a carer and gained my Care Certificate. These two roles gave me invaluable insight into the needs, hopes, and concerns of older adults. That understanding is now at the heart of CCCoaching: helping older adults move more, feel stronger, and live with greater confidence. Through Age UK Oxfordshire, I also became an Otago Trainer, delivering the internationally recognised Fall Prevention Programme.

Since launching CCCoaching in March 2024, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with organisations such as BOPAG (Bucks Older Peoples Action Group), Age UK Bucks, Active in the Community, CarersBucks, and more. These partnerships have allowed me to support older adults across Buckinghamshire and beyond — promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness.

I run local classes and also travel to homes, day centres, and community groups. I offer a wide range of sessions to suit different needs and abilities: • Seated fitness • Seated Pilates • Mat Pilates • General fitness (with or without equipment) • Otago Fall Prevention • Strength training, including TRX suspension work • Small‑group or 1‑to‑1 Personal Training in my Home Studio

Strength training is a particular passion of mine. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass — a process called sarcopenia — which can affect balance, mobility, and independence. Building strength is one of the most powerful ways to stay active, capable, and confident.

I also bring personal experience to my work. I’ve managed back issues linked to kyphosis and posture, and navigated the impact of stress on the body. Pilates and targeted training helped me rebuild, recover, and thrive — and that’s why I believe so strongly in what I teach. Commitment is a gift you give yourself, and I’m here to help you make that commitment with support, encouragement, and expertise.

My approach is holistic: Promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness for a more active, stronger, and more confident you.

I continue to grow in my own practice too — I’m now a Tai Chi practitioner and, on a personal note, currently training for my first marathon.
