Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates who was born in Germany in 1880. As a child he suffered from rickets, asthma and rheumatic fever. To help him overcome these illnesses he developed his own set of exercises to give his body the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.

The Pilates method of exercise is a unique system of core stability work combined with general stretching and strengthening exercises. It is often described as having a mind-body connection and involves re-learning correct human movement patterns and relocating “forgotten” muscles! To do this requires thought and concentration and not mindless exercise.

Classes are held on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, more details are available by following this link.

Fitness Pilates - exercises for general conditioning and lifestyle benefits

Clinical Pilates is the combination of the original Pilates exercises and incorporates well-established physiotherapy concepts. It uses the original mat work exercises but minimises the possible harmful effects of the original exercises, that may be too rigorous for injured people or those who are new to Pilates.
