Lucky to work in such a beautiful spot and start the weekend with an early morning class filled with the usual familiar and friendly faces 🥰

(Even luckier to have air con) 😉❄️

Happy weekend all!

⚽️ We had the balls out this week in class, and I was asked if it was a nod to the World Cup (unintentional!)

But, it did get me thinking about how the very best teams MOVE….

💪 Fluidly
💪 Efficiently
💪 With power, agility and pace
💪 Postively, with confidence!

And when the team breaks down, when the performance is lacking we might ask…

❓ Are we over reliant on a few key ‘players’?

❓Are we stuck in defence and moving with caution rather than freedom?

❓Are we coordinated, is every player contributing, working together, and doing their designated job?

We can ask all those same questions of ourselves and our bodies! 🤔

To explore that thought, I love the detail and precision of Pilates - the fine tuning of simple movements that allows us to progress with fluidity, efficiency, control and balanced strength 😊

Doing so, and getting to know your body and how it is designed to work, builds confidence to take on new challenges and keep enjoying the activities you love 🙌

Fancy finding that out for yourself? Come and try a class with us - your first one is half price with JOINUS25.

🤔 Which Pilates class is right for me? Reformer or Matwork? Runners or Challenge? And what if I’m a BEGINNER? 🤯

There’s lots to consider when choosing a class - in terms of your goals, and preferences regarding class format/feel, environment, and instructor. So, here’s a few tips to help you decide whether a class might be right for you 🤗

❓MATWORK or REFORMER? Well, it depends! If you’re new to the Pilates method we suggest starting with Matwork to grasp the key principles and build body awareness before adding the complexity of equipment.

However, if you’re familiar with Pilates and have a specific goal (eg rehab of shoulder or hip), the Reformer can offer an extra level of support to ensure you’re working efficiently.

Simply put - if in doubt, ask! We’re always happy to talk you through the best option for your individual needs 😊

❓ Which TYPE of class? What’s the difference?

Our RELAXED classes (Reformer + Matwork Pilates) are perfect if you’re a beginner, returning to exercise, or prefer a more gentle pace.

Our CHALLENGE (Matwork) and REFORMER PILATES classes stay true to the method, focusing on exploring the full repertoire to build core strength, improve mobility and enjoy feel-good movement.

Our RUNNERS classes (Matwork and Reformer Pilates) are underpinned by the Pilates principles but take a more functional approach by focusing on the movement patterns essential for efficient gait, and building the strength, mobility and muscular endurance to achieve them.

❓What should I expect from my INSTRUCTOR?

All our Pilates instructors are Merrithew® | STOTT PILATES® STOTT Pilates certified, and highly qualified to support you in class.

We aim to get to know you and your body and create a friendly, inclusive environment that helps you to relax and progress at your own pace.

Many of our new clients choose to book a PRIVATE session first if they’re new to the Reformer and would like to join a class. It’s a great way to build confidence and get to know your instructor, to ensure you get the most from each movement.

🥵 Tips for running in the heat? Well firstly, DON’T if you don’t have to! (There’s always Pilates… 😉)

In all seriousness, I’m putting absolutely no pressure on myself to run in this heat - I don’t enjoy it, and shorter walks are doing the job to keep me moving 😊

BUT! If you do want/need to move a bit faster, other than the obvious run early/late/use suncream etc here are some of the things I do to be a bit more comfortable! 👇

🧢 Wear a hat. Wet it regularly if you can and let it drip down your neck/back. Bonus covering-up of sweaty fringe points.

💦 Sweat is even less pleasant when it drips into your contact-lensed eyes. Wear a sweatband/buff on your wrist and mop your brow.

😳 Chafe can strike in unexpected places. Body glide/vaseline wherever you need to (underside of upper arms for me 🤷‍♀️)

💦 Water water water! Not just for drinking, for hat/head dousing as required. I like the wrist-buff technique if you don’t have/want to wear a pack.

🧊 An effective cool down should include an ice pop and/or an air conditioned Pilates studio in my opinion. From sweaty to goosebumped arms then back again!
