WHY USE PILATES EQUIPMENT?

Pilates equipment has been carefully developed over many years to provide a sophisticated selection of spring assisted exercises. Pilates mat classes can be very valuable and enjoyable but using Pilates equipment lifts this form of exercise to a different level. Pilates equipment enables you to work more precisely and accurately and to progress at a faster pace to improve your body.The springs and the assistance given by the various pieces of equipment provide a combination of support and resistance. This allows you to focus on and develop individual muscle groups and improves core strength. You will also find that using Pilates equipment enables you to successfully undertake a greater range of exercises that help build up your fitness more quickly.

 

What to expect?

Your first session helps your teacher understand all about you and your needs. You will be asked about your medical history and to complete a short questionnaire, before undertaking a postural analysis. This allows us to create a personal program to meet your specific needs. After that we can begin your Pilates session. You will first be taken through the basic principles of Pilates, focusing on stability, postural awareness, breathing and stretching.During each session you will work with your teacher on the combination of exercises they have put together to help you achieve your specific goals.
