Mat Classes

Mat based Pilates classes follow Joseph Pilates original exercise method. We guide you through a series of warm up exercises to emphasise correct breathing, focusing on precise alignment of the spine, pelvis, ribs and shoulder girdle. As the class progresses movement patterns become increasingly complex utilising all major muscle groups and planes of motion. Often small equipment (soft balls, weighted balls, stretch bands, and foam pads) are used to either stabilise or destabilise dependant on clients needs and the level of the class. As our classes are small instructors are acutely focused on individual correction and precise execution of the exercises.

Maximum for mat classes: 8 people
Duration of mat classes: 45 min
Levels: Essential and Intermediate

Reformer Classes

Reformer classes are taught on an apparatus called the reformer. This consists of a moving platform that produces resistance from a set of springs of varied tension attached to the fixed end of the reformer and the moving platform. The apparatus can be utilised in a multitude of ways to direct the focus to particular muscle groups via a set of pulleys, ropes, bars, the moving platform or to exercise own bodyweight. Adjusting the spring tension makes the carriage easier or harder to move, but not to be misunderstood as low spring tension often makes the exercise much harder. The reformer is unparalleled in its versatility of exercises that can be performed lying, standing, sitting, pulling, pushing, upside down, sideways and a myriad of other variations. The reformer also encourages eccentric muscle contractions which are renowned for giving us long, flexible yet strong muscle tone without bulk. 

If you have never worked on the reformer before it is essential that you attend a free 30 minute Reformer orientation session or a private one to one session before joining a class.

Maximum for reformer classes: 8 people
Duration of reformer classes: 45 min

“I came to Pilates due to wanting to try something new. I’ve always suffered with niggling injuries and wanted to go back to basics. I was initially worried it would be too easy but I soon changed my mind. I had aches in muscles I didn’t know I had. Pilates has made a huge difference to my health and I’ve been able to go back to football after 5 years out. Glenn and Sam are really friendly and will tailor sessions to what you need. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone” LJ RANTS
