Strengthen your core. Improve your posture. Move with confidence. Here’s a clear guide to Pilates and what to expect at our studio.
Pilates is a low‑impact, full‑body method that builds strength, mobility and control. Every move begins with your deep core so your spine and joints feel supported, not stressed. The work is precise and flowing — small changes that add up fast.
Joseph Pilates developed the method in the 1920s to help people move better and feel stronger. Dancers and athletes adopted it early; today everyone does — because it works.
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness… If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.”
— Joseph Pilates
Consistency wins. Two sessions a week is enough to feel a real difference.
Start steady. Learn the basics, build confidence and progress at your pace.
Gentle, controlled strength can help reduce day‑to‑day discomfort. Always tell us about injuries.
Build control, stability and mobility to support performance and recovery.
Prefer a tailored start? Try a 1:1 session, or look for beginner‑friendly classes on the timetable.
Modern life makes some muscles do too much while others switch off. Over time that imbalance can pull joints out of line and create discomfort. Pilates restores balance: stretch what’s tight, strengthen what’s weak, and re‑educate how you move. The result is better alignment, fewer aches and confidence to do more of what you love.
Wear comfortable clothes. Grippy socks are needed for Reformer. Bring water.
Mat Pilates is done on the mat using your bodyweight and small props like bands or balls. It builds strength, mobility and control without machines. Great for beginners and for anyone who wants a focused, foundational practice.
Reformer Pilates uses a spring‑loaded machine to add resistance and support. It helps you feel the right muscles working, improves alignment and offers tons of variety.
