CC Coaching

Promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness

Who am I?

Hi I'm Caroline Coker. I have been teaching various activities and subjects for over 25 years; originally as a primary school PE specialist teacher, which I absolutely loved; but as with most careers it's nice to branch out and try new things new.  So I became a nanny and retrained as a Pilates Teacher.

Due to my own health, injuries and mishaps, I was introduced to Pilates and I never looked back. Thus, I retrained as a Pilates Teacher and was lucky to get a job in a retirement village running the gym and exercise classes.  Whilst there I passed, with distinction, my personal training apprenticeship - you are never too old to learn, just saying!

During my years there I also became a carer and got my care certificate.  Between these two roles I learned a lot about older adults, their needs, their hopes, their concerns, and this is a very important part of CCCoaching - to help older adults get moving. With Age UK Oxford, I became an Otago trainer, which is an international Fall Prevention Programme.

Since starting CCCoaching in March 2024 I have been very lucky to collaborate with BOPAG - Bucks Older Peoples Action Group, Age UK Bucks, AITC - Active In The Community and CarersBucks, just to name a few which has been amazing and has allowed me to support older adults and offer my services – Promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness.

I have local classes, and I am mobile to come to your home and groups, I offer a range of levels and classes to meet your needs. Seated fitness, seated Pilates, mat Pilates, regular fitness classes with/without equipment, Otago Fall Prevention sessions; and I also have a home studio where I can accommodate small personalised groups or 1-1 personal training.  I like to specialise in strength training using the TRX suspension strap - it's not as scary as it sounds! You may have heard that you need to build your strength as we get older, you may have heard of sarcopenia - which is the natural process of muscle wastage with age, and with every decade we age, we can lose 5 to 10% muscle mass and this can cause a lot of the issues older adults face.

I have personal experience with bad back, due to kyphosis and posture, and due to the stresses of life I did, unfortunately, have further complications. All of these have been fixed and managed with Pilates and specific training. Thus I am very passionate about what I do. I truly believe in what I do and the results it can give to everybody.  It's time for you, because commitment is a gift you should give yourself.

Promoting Fitness, Wellness and Happiness the whole holistic approach for a more active, stronger, confident you.
