Pilates is an exercise system developed, originally by Joseph Pilates, to improve your muscle tone, alignment and posture. Pilates is ideal if you are interested in toning up without adding bulk and improving posture.

Pilates focuses mainly on challenging and developing your core strength – especially your spinal muscles, abdominals and obliques. With regular Pilates, your postural muscles will become more balanced and work more efficiently so that you stand taller and feel stronger.

*Please note, group Pilates classes are not suitable if you have a back injury or chronic back pain. If you have back pain we recommend you seek professional medical advice before training with us
