What we offer

Pilates

Pilates is a physical fitness system that focuses on developing core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. It was created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century and is based on six core principles: concentration, control, centering, precision, breath, and flow.

In Pilates, the focus is on controlled and precise movements, emphasising quality over quantity. The exercises aim to elongate and strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and promote overall body alignment and posture. It is considered a low-impact form of exercise, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.

The benefits of practicing Pilates include:

  • Improved core strength and stability

  • Increased flexibility and range of motion

  • Enhanced muscular strength and endurance

  • Better posture and body alignment

  • Reduced risk of injury

  • Stress relief and relaxation

  • Improved body awareness and coordination

Reformer Pilates

The Reformer allows for a wide range of exercises that target various muscle groups and promote flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination. The movements performed on the Reformer emphasise controlled and precise motions, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels, including beginners and those with physical limitations.

During a Reformer Pilates session, one of our experienced instructors will guide you through a series of exercises that involves pushing or pulling the carriage, adjusting the spring tension to vary resistance, and utilising the straps and handles for additional challenges. The exercises can be modified to suit individual needs and fitness goals, making it a highly adaptable form of exercise.

Reformer Pilates is known for its focus on core strength and stability, as the exercises require engagement of the abdominal muscles to control the movements and maintain proper alignment. It also promotes improved posture and body awareness.

The benefits of Reformer Pilates include:

  • Increased core strength and stability
