Pilates
What is Pilates?
Joseph Pilates pioneered the Pilates Method in the 1920s. It is a low-impact body conditioning and postural alignment exercise technique. Pilates consists of many exercises, some of which are floor work exercises and some of which use Pilates equipment. Pilates needs no prior exercise experience, is safe for all fitness levels from those with pain and injury to those who are elite athletes. Pilates is also a safe method of exercise during pregnancy. Pilates tones and conditions the deeper abdominal muscles, alleviates back and neck pain, improves the support of the lower back, relaxes tense neck and shoulder muscles, increases flexibility and improves posture. It is the ultimate exercise program for core stabilisation.

Pilates Classes
Pilates Private Session
A 1:1 studio Pilates session focusing entirely on your specific needs. An effective way when commencing Pilates to prepare for the class environment. A few of these sessions are recommended when beginning your Pilates journey and also periodically for the more experienced Pilates student. The individual attention provides the ideal environment in which to learn new challenging exercises to add to your repertoire and to reassess your Pilates needs and goals. A private initial consultation session is a pre-requisite to commencing Pilates studio classes.
Pilates Duet
Two clients are booked into a Pilates class by appointment. The low instructor to client ratio is ideal if you have musculoskeletal issues requiring that little bit of extra supervision.
Pilates Semi-private
A maximum of three clients per class. Your program is designed according to your individual needs and goals. You have the full compliment of our state-of-the-art Pilates studio equipment at your disposal to assist, challenge and vary your Pilates experience.
