EQUIPMENT

We use a lot of different Pilates-specific equipment to allow you to target every area you need to work on, while making sure you are supported, in control and keeping form. Both of our studios are fully equipped with Reformers, Chairs, Cadillacs, Barrels, balls, bands, weights and rollers. Bits for your feet and bobs for your hands. If you’ve got a muscle that hasn’t been getting enough action, we’ve got a tool to get it moving.

MAT PILATES

Mat Pilates is done primarily, you guessed it, on a mat on the floor. We use different poses, exercises and a few props to strengthen and tone your whole body. There’s a lot of focus on your core and glutes as these are main stabilising muscle groups. You will gain strength, improved posture, balance and flexibility. With regular mat classes you will be moving through your day with ease and confidence.

REFORMER PILATES

When we say ‘Reformer Pilates’, we’re talking about a workout utilising the particular piece of equipment, which looks like it could be used as a torture device, but actually  helps support you to move in all sorts of ways that just aren’t possible without it!

The reformer is a frame with a sliding bed, headrest, straps and foot bar. The sliding bed uses springs of different tensions to increase or decrease resistance. The range of moves you can perform on a reformer is almost endless, allowing you to target muscle groups for both strength and flexibility that you have never worked on before.

We love our reformers and use them in Private, Studio Sessions and Group Classes.
