MJ Fitness Harrogate

Thinking about coming along to a class but feeling a little nervous? 😊

That’s completely normal, especially if you’re new to Pilates, returning to exercise, or managing a back issue.

At MoJo Fitness, you don’t need to be super fit, flexible, or experienced. You just need to come as you are.

Wear something comfortable that lets you move easily 👕, bring some water 💧, and arrive a few minutes early so we can have a quick chat before class starts.

Please let me know about any back pain, injuries, operations, joint issues, or anything your GP or physio has advised you about.

That way, I can offer the right modifications and help you feel safe and supported. 🤲
Everybody is different, so exercises can be adapted. You will never be pushed to do anything that does not feel right for you. 🙌

The aim is simple: to help you move better, build confidence, and feel good in your body. ✨

Your first class does not have to be scary, it could be the start of feeling stronger, steadier, and more confident. 💪

Message me if you’d like to know which class is best for you. 📩

✨ A little something we’ve been working on…

We’re very excited to tell you about our Pilates for Beginners Workshop at MoJo Fitness!

This workshop has been created especially for anyone who has been thinking about trying Pilates but feels a little unsure, nervous, or worried they might not be “fit enough” or “flexible enough.”

🧡 Learn the basics
🧡 Understand how Pilates can support your movement
🧡 Build confidence before joining a regular class
🧡 Ask questions in a supportive space
🧡 Feel stronger, steadier and more in control of your body

It’s ideal for complete beginners, anyone returning to exercise, or anyone who wants to feel more confident before stepping into a class.

⏰ 11.15am – 12.45pm

Have you ever thought about trying Pilates but weren’t quite sure where to start or if it’s for you?

This summer, I’m running a relaxed, friendly Introduction to Pilates Workshop, the perfect way to dip your toe in and see what it’s all about.

You’ll get the chance to:

💛 Learn the basics in a simple, easy-to-follow way
💛 Try some gentle exercises that really help with core strength and stability
💛 Ask questions and build your confidence

This workshop is a great stepping stone into our new Beginners class launching in September, Thursdays 6:15–7:15pm at The Fitness Garage, Harrogate.

If you’ve been thinking about giving Pilates a go, this is a lovely, no-pressure place to start.

Something you might not know about me…

A lot of my class members actually come to me through referrals from their GPs or physios.

Often they’re dealing with things like back pain, sports injuries, or recovering from strains and niggles, and need somewhere they can move safely and rebuild confidence.

That’s exactly why I run my Spine Safe Pilates classes, designed specifically for those with back or joint issues who need a more supported, careful approach.

And across all of my classes, nothing is ever “one size fits all.”

Everything is adapted to suit the people in the room, so you’ll never feel pushed, overwhelmed, or out of your comfort zone.

It also highlights something really important, even healthcare professionals recognise how valuable consistent, gentle movement is when it comes to recovery and long-term health.

So whether you’re managing an issue or just want to feel a bit stronger and more comfortable in your body, you’re in safe hands.

💭 Myth: “I’ve got back pain… I should rest.”

This is such a common belief, and years ago, bed rest was often advised.

But we now know that staying still for too long can actually make things worse.
It can lead to more stiffness, increased discomfort, and even more pain over time.
The key? Gentle, regular movement.

Keeping the body moving helps:

✨ Reduce stiffness
✨ Improve circulation
✨ Build strength to better support your back

That’s where Pilates can really help.

It’s low impact, controlled, and focused on building strength and stability, especially through your core, which in turn supports your spine and can help ease those everyday aches and pains.

Of course, it’s always important to listen to your body and seek advice if needed, but in many cases, movement really is medicine.

If you want to get out of pain, why not come along to one of my friendly classes? Send me a message if you find one you’re interest in.

A little something we’ve been working on…

Me and Christie have been busy behind the scenes putting together something I’m really excited about, our Pilates for Beginners Workshop!

We’ve had quite a few messages from people who’ve been interested in coming along to classes, but felt a bit unsure or wondered if it would be right for them… and that’s exactly why we’ve created this.

We thought, what better way to introduce you to Pilates than through a relaxed, friendly workshop where you can try it out, ask questions, and build a bit of confidence first.

Dates, times and venue will be confirmed very soon, so watch this space!

And if you (or someone you know) have always wanted to give Pilates a go, please do share this with them… we’d absolutely love to welcome you along 😊

Thinking about getting fitter but not sure where to begin?

It’s never too late. You don’t need to be fit to start, you just need to start.

My classes are friendly, supportive, and designed to help you build confidence, strength, and consistency at your own pace.

Whether you want to feel stronger, improve your balance, or just get out and move more, there’s a class for you.

Have a look at the timetable or drop me a message, your first class is free, so you can give it a go with no pressure.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and it’s a great reminder to slow things down a little and take some time for ourselves, especially when life starts to feel a bit overwhelming.

Mindful movement can make such a difference, helping you feel calmer, more relaxed, and more connected to your body.

That’s why we’re planning a Mindful Pilates Workshop this summer, something that’s always been really popular and a lovely way to focus on you.

We’re hoping to run this in July (25th/26th, just awaiting confirmation).

That said, mindfulness is already a big part of what we do in our weekly classes too, through breath work, gentle movement, and releasing tension in the body.

If you’ve been feeling a bit stressed lately, or you’re thinking about starting Pilates, this could be a really lovely place to begin.
