Meet The Founder
Originally from the UK, Deborah Spencer has dedicated her life to fitness and wellness. With a degree in Sports Science from Loughborough University, she began her career managing private health and fitness spas, progressing into roles training spa managers and certifying personal trainers.
Her passion for movement led her into sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation — stepping stones that ultimately guided her to Pilates. After moving to Sydney in 2000, Deborah began her Authentic Pilates training under Cynthia Lochard, studying directly with Romana Kryzanowska.
From 2005, her global journey as an expat took her to Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Ghana, Dubai, and South Africa, establishing Pilates studios in each country. Along the way, she deepened her knowledge, learning from renowned teachers such as Sari Mejia Santo, Jerome Weinberg, and Anthony Rabara. While in Dubai, she became a teacher trainer for Romana’s Pilates International.
Now based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Deborah runs Precision Pilates Academy, offering workshops and masterclasses that honour and preserve Joseph Pilates’ original method.
