OUR CLASSES
mat pilates
Mat Pilates is a low impact series of movement patterns using your own body weight while standing, sitting or lying on a mat on the floor. The aim of Mat Pilates is to improve posture, flexibility, strength and core balance. It develops a heightened awareness to your body through movement and controlled breathing.
reformer pilates
Reformer builds on the fundamental mat Pilates movements while adding additional elements of resistance, instability, support and directional changes. These elements create variety as well as enabling people to target specific muscle groups and/or aiding them in in-balances.
A man is as young as his spinal column. - Joseph Pilates
WHAT IS PILATES?
Before Pilates was an exercise, it was a person.
Joseph Pilates was born near Dusseldorf, a city in western Germany, in early 1880's. He was a sickly child, suffering from rickets (a condition in which bones do not develop properly), asthma, and rheumatic fever. His determination to overcome these childhood ailments led him to the practice and excel at bodybuilding, gymnastics, diving, boxing, self-defence instruction and other physical pursuits.
During WW1 he was in a Prisoner of War camp where he started using his methods to help people rehabilitate from their injuries. He is alleged to have turned down an offer from the German government to train his army: Pilates wanted the movement to heal, not harm.
The guiding philosophy in his work, which he referred to as “Contrology,” was the notion that exercising the entire body in concert, as opposed to spot training individual muscles, was the way to achieve good health.
In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference and in 30 you’ll have a new body.

Jess brings a sense of confidence to the room and allows you to feel safe while exploring new workouts and exercises: half the time I didn't even realise I was working out until I went to walk out at the end and felt how wobbly my legs were! Will be a lifelong member thank you
