Mat Based Pilates

Mat based Pilates classes are offered in a range of levels to allow clients to work at their own pace and level to learn the technique in their own time and without feeling pressured to do exercises that are too challenging.

Classes start at beginner level to learn the technique but may stay in this level for a number of years depending on their ability. This class punctuates the routine with stretches, The next level is Improver which increases the intensity of each exercise and starts to link the exercises leading to form a flowing routine, The Intermediate is more challenging exercises that flow together in a routine with fewer breaks to stretch, these normally come at the end.

The advanced class is pushing the client to compete the exercises designed by Joseph Pilates in a flowing, controlled routine.

Reformer Pilates

The reformer was invented by Joseph Pilates, it uses springs and pulleys to create a work out on a moving platform that is both challenging and satisfying producing a stronger, leaner body.

Classes are mixed ability as each client manages their own springs and intensity.

There are 10 reformers, at present spaced 1 meter apart with vinyl curtains between each reformer.

Bungeefit

Bungeefit is an energetic fun workout on a 3 foot long bungee hanging from the ceiling and attaching to a harness.

The clients learn a range of moves which can then be joined to form routines. The client may be attached to one bungee or two, and can be attached at the front, sides or back.

Classes take a maximum of 6.
