Pilates
Pilates is an extremely effective method to improve the strength, endurance and control of the muscles around our joints. Additional benefits include:
- Prevention of injury
- Minimising posture related pain
- Improving balance and co-ordination
- Enhancing athletic performance
- Toning of muscles
- Improved flexibility
Control and manage back pain, improve athletic performance
All types of athletes now use Pilates as part of their training and rehabilitation routines to give them that extra performance edge. In day to day life, Pilates encourages correct body posture and function, minimising general aches and pains such as recurrent back, shoulder or hip problems.
This gentle but highly effective form of exercise releases our natural “happy hormones” (endorphins), so you will also feel refreshed, energised and relaxed after your session.

Older Adults Strength Class
Strength is a vital asset for all age groups. As we age, without training we lose significant muscle bulk. This increases the risk of frailty and falls, and subsequent risk of broken bones and other major injuries.
Our class is designed to minimise these risks. A combination of resistance work and balance training helps the body to combat frailty, and become more robust, by building strength, and increasing bone density!

“I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier.”
