MEET THE TEAM

Millie Gough Co-founder of Vagabond Pilates

Millie

STOTT Certified

Millie served in the Royal Air Force for 21 years before leaving following a life-changing cancer journey. Although she is now cancer free, the experience had a profound impact on her outlook, deepening her appreciation for movement, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

In the years since, Millie has channelled her experience into Pilates, where she found a powerful tool for both physical recovery and mental strength. This journey has shaped her approach as an instructor, allowing her to bring a high level of empathy, understanding, and care to every session she teaches.

During her time in the industry, Millie recognised a growing trend towards lower-quality Pilates, often driven by social media and a focus on dynamic reformer styles rather than the depth and integrity of the Pilates method. In establishing Vagabond Pilates, her vision was to create a studio that champions authentic, high quality Pilates delivered with precision, knowledge, and respect for the method.

All Vagabond instructors are fully qualified and trained to a high standard, working towards fully comprehensive certifications. This commitment allows clients to experience Pilates in its true form, with a strong emphasis on control, alignment, and intelligent movement.

Millie remains passionate about health, movement, and education, and is dedicated to helping clients understand that Pilates is far more than stretching or a trend. Her classes are focused, engaging, and challenging, designed to build strength, improve posture, and enhance overall movement quality.

With a warm, approachable style and a good sense of humour, Millie creates an environment where clients feel supported while being encouraged to work to their full potential. Above all, she ensures every client is in safe, experienced hands.

Molly Drewitt Co-founder of Vagabond Pilates

Molly

STOTT

Molly has a degree in Performing Arts and her love for dance helped her find and fall in love with Pilates. Molly has a passion for any movement that makes you feel good.

From years of hustling in sales, the arrival of her son made her re-evaluate what is important in life. Her outlook shifted from chasing deadlines to ensuring she could be present during the magical, messy moments that come with small children and that is what led her to joining Millie in this Pilates venture.

Molly lives with her young son and gorgeous Staffie dog. She enjoys the simple things in life, a cold glass of wine, belly laughs and trying out new ways to feel good inside and out. Molly’s style of teaching is inclusive, strength based and fun. Expect to leave the studio feeling energised and desperate to book another session!

Tim co-founder of Vagabond Pilates

Tim

STOTT

Tim is a former Special Forces operator turned Pilates instructor and co-founder of Vagabond Pilates. After 30 years in the elite forces, he traded military boots for grippy socks and now channels his discipline, precision, and performance mindset into helping clients move better through Pilates. Alongside his wife, Millie, and business partner, Molly, he plays a key role in running Vagabond Pilates and delivering high-quality, results-driven classes.

Drawing on his extensive background, Tim brings a unique blend of military precision, focus, and energy to every class. His sessions are designed to challenge and engage, with a strong emphasis on form, control, and technique. While his approach is structured and no-nonsense, he creates an environment that is supportive, approachable, and often filled with a healthy dose of humour.

Tim’s classes designed to push clients just beyond their comfort zone in a safe and controlled way. His attention to detail ensures that every movement has purpose, helping clients build strength, improve mobility, and develop a deeper understanding of how their body moves. Whether working with beginners or more experienced clients, his goal is always the same: to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best.

A strong advocate for making Pilates more accessible to men (after all it was created by one!), Tim is passionate about challenging outdated perceptions and showing that Pilates is a powerful training method for everyone. His classes attract a wide range of clients, reflected in consistently full sessions and waiting lists, as he combines technical expertise with a motivating and engaging teaching style.

At Vagabond Pilates, Tim plays an integral role in delivering authentic, high-quality Pilates classes that focus on the method, using the full range of apparatus to support long-term strength, resilience, and performance.
