What is Pilates?
Pilates is a series of exercises devised by Joseph Pilates which aim to activate the deep postural muscles improving posture and enhancing mobility.
What should I expect?
Classes are friendly and allow you to exercise in a non-competitive environment. Numbers are kept low to allow some individual attention, usually a maximum of 12 clients per class. Pilates offers a different way of working with your body. It can sometimes be difficult to 'get it' in the first couple of sessions. Don't worry - this is quite common! Do give yourself time, you won't regret it.
What should I wear?
Wear something easy to move in - gym trousers/leggings and t-shirt. Shoes are not worn during class so either bare feet or socks.
Do men to Pilates?
Yes. When Joseph Pilates devised the method 60% of his clients were men. Many top male athletes now incorporate Pilates into their training regimes. It is not a 'girl thing'!
I have a specific illness / injury, can Pilates help me?
Pilates aids in the rehabilitation of many specialised conditions. Depending on the type or stage of your condition/rehabilitation, some private sessions may be more suitable initially.
I'm a teenager** / I'm in my 70s can I do Pilates?
Yes. Pilates is suitable for all ages and stages. **currently my classes are for over 18s
