PILATES CLASSES

• posture
• strength
• flexibility
• coordination
• relaxation
• balance

Pilates is a brilliant form of exercise which helps you improve your posture, tone and strengthen your abdominals and back, increase flexibility, challenge your balance and coordination, release tension and help you de-stress after a hard day. What other session offers you all of this in an hour?

Pilates is great for all fitness levels from beginners to the more advanced exerciser and all the exercises are very simple and easy to follow. Adaptations and progressions are given to suit everyone to ensure that you're getting the best out of the session.

Pilates is a class that's suitable for everyone - male or female, old or young, fit or unfit, postnatal (but not pregnant) women, and if you have any existing injuries or have been advised that Pilates would be beneficial to you from your Physiotherapist or Doctor, as long as you obtain medical approval/clearance, you'll be fine to come along.

Testimonials
Read what some clients have to say about Claire's Pilates classes:

I had no idea what to expect from my first Pilates class, and it was just FAB!  Afterwards, I felt relaxed, SO much looser especially around the shoulders, and when I got home, I wasn't hungy.  (Most unusual for me haha.)  I cant remember a lot of the exercises but am going to try a few this weekend.  Thank you very much and if it continues as it began for me, I'll be a 'lifer.'

I'm really enjoying the classes -  i promise myself that I'll do some of the exercises in-between lessons, but the week flies by and I never do, but I will definitely try during the 'recess.'  Many thanks for making the class so enjoyable. I really do feel so much better after the class and the next day - but then the weight of Life bends me back in to a crooked shape!

Just to say how much I enjoyed my first Pilates class with you last night.  I feel like a 'new' person this morning and I'm sure it's a result of your class.  Thanks for giving me encouragement and taking the time to show me how to improve along the way....much appreciated!  I look forward to the next class....

My wife and I shall be continuing with the classes, yes. Thanks greatly for your help. It has had a pronounced impact on my health (back problem).

I really enjoyed last night though I feel as if I have been run over by a steam engine!! Might take me a while to get used the exercises!!  I also appreciated your help during the lesson and am looking forward to next week (I think!!))

Thanks very much - my mum and I have both really enjoyed it and think that you're an excellent teacher.

Just wanted to let you know that Wednesday morning last week was the first morning in months where I didn't wake up with back ache!

Thanks... feeling much better physically after only 3 weeks of your classes.

I am finding the classes very enjoyable and beneficial! Thank you.

Unfortunately I cant carry on with the Pilates class as I am starting a course on a Tuesday for 20 weeks....I have thoroughly enjoyed your Pilates classes, and its been hard work!!! It's a shame I can't continue due to other commitments.

Just wanted to say that whilst I've only been doing this 3 weeks (missed one due to football traffic!), I really have felt a difference.  I do strangely feel energised, even though we're still waking through the night and haven't slept through in 6 months (longer for me counting preganancy!)  So something must be working! So to that end I would love to continue with the next set of classes please!

That's brilliant news about the next course of classes! I'm really enjoying them and was disappointed that they were coming to an end, so I'd love to sign up for the next set.
