Pilates helps you to become an expert in controlling how your body moves & functions by focusing your attention on coordination, alignment, balance & breathing.
Pilates is known to improve posture, back pain & flexibility by strengthening, lengthening & stabilising your deep core muscles.
The additional of benefits of developing mental focus, reducing stress levels & enhancing sleep make Pilates the perfect solution to redress the demands that life throws at us.
All my Pilates classes are suitable for mixed abilities. So whatever class you choose I will ensure you are given modifications if you are a beginner or progressions if you want something more challenging.
I have found over the years that this suits most people. Rather than turning up to a class that suits your schedule, this way the workout you attend suits your body- whatever level you're at.
Each week I incorporate a variety of styles & equipment to keep everyone engaged, challenge your muscle memory and progress your strength further.
For me, Pilates is the “icing on the cake”of all exercise disciplines.
Pilates is an excellent compliment to all other forms of exercise as it helps to improve your flexibility, range of motion, power and body awareness to help get the most out of everything you do.

Pilates for Men is designed for the mechanics of the male physique. You will focus on the powerhouse muscles, the abs, glutes and quads, that support the body’s movement.
Whether you're a couch potato or professional athlete Men's Pilates benefits all ages & abilities.
