Want the social connection & ease of a class? We run multiple types of classes, either with a Pilates focus, or Gym focus:
Pilates benefits:
Pilates focuses on movement efficiency, mindful movement, and improving core/pelvic floor strength, flexibility, posture, and balance. It’s suitable for all ages, fitness levels, and abilities, including those managing injuries, chronic conditions, or aiming to enhance overall well-being.
Using specialised equipment like the reformer, Wunda chair, Cadillac, and tower machines, along with resistance bands and small weights, Pilates offers low-impact, targeted exercises that strengthen and tone the entire body.
Our Clinical Pilates bridges the gap from specific rehabilitation to general exercise within a class setting, while Circuit/Hybrid Pilates provides a progression for generally healthy individuals ready for dynamic, full-body workouts. Pilates is a safe, adaptable way to improve mobility, strength, and overall fitness.
Strength benefits:
Strength training improves bone density, muscle strength, tone, and endurance, making daily tasks like lifting, bending, cleaning, or playing with children easier. It also supports mental health, reduces injury risk, and enhances balance, coordination, and overall quality of life.
This form of exercise lowers the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis while improving blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall fitness.
Using body weight, dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands, strength training is adaptable to all ages, abilities, and goals. Whether building functional strength, enhancing performance, or improving health, strength training is an effective, lifelong tool.
