LEVELS EXPLAINED

FOUNDATIONS

For the complete beginner, the client with some experience wanting to get back to basics or if your returning after a long time off.

If new, we recommend you attend a minimum of 5 session to really get the idea of what Pilates is about. It is probably unlike any other exercise class you’ve tried. The tempo is steady and considered. Cues, corrections and lots of imagery will help you achieve good form within just a few weeks. Even after just one session people report feeling stronger. nicely stretched, rejuevenated and able to sleep better.


​

MODERATE

For those who have grasped the basics and can now apply them to new exercises. You are starting to build up some strength and happy to be challenged but at a steady tempo with plenty of attention to detail. You will be introduced to the small equipment to keep classes varied and interesting.

​

​

INTERMEDIATE

You have grasped all principles and apply them easily to a whole array of different exercises.  You are stronger, more able and starting to really develop your endurance. Adding weights and more challenging equipment keeps it varied.


You're starting to feel bionic and confident about the exercises and not phased by the introduction of new challenges but will you want to step up to the next level?!

​

​

SUPERSTRONG

For the client that wants to work to their max. More challenges, more reps, less rest and a pick up of tempo. You want to feel the burn. However, we'll still be ensuring it is all executed with control, focus and form. Cues and corrections will always be given, where necessary, to keep you safe.

You will have already built up a really good level of deep muscular strength and endurance through the previous levels. Some may call you mad!

MATWORK OR REFORMER?

MATWORK​

Bring your mat and a bottle of water and we will supply the rest! 

As well as Joseph Pilates' original repertoire,  we introduce a 'small equipment' prop to modify, adapt or seriously challenge the body.

​

We work to improve balance, build own body weight strength, introduce brain exercises and other various challenges. Don't be fooled into thinking that Matwork is the easy option. Joseph Pilates' 34 Original exercises were TOUGH especially when done as designed, with no rest and constant flow.  You have to be very strong to complete the full but it's certainly very transportable!

​

REFORMER BEDS

Devised by Joseph Pilates himself during his incarceration as a German soldier in the war. The 'Reformer Bed was borne of his work helping rehabilitate injured soldiers
