Pilates Exercise Classes
Pilates Classes
Pilates exercises are accessible to everyone regardless of age or fitness level. If you want to improve your core stability, strengthen your back, firm up your stomach or recover from an injury, these exercises can help. Pilates is an invaluable support system to all other sports and it will enhance performance and reduce the risk of injuries.
I offer a range of friendly classes in local halls around Exeter, Exminster, Topsham, Kennford and Budleigh Salterton. I also offer classes in local schools, provide lunchtime classes for local businesses and work with the local sports clubs to improve their core stability and flexibility.
There are Beginner only classes and All Level classes designed to provide a safe and effective workout for all fitness levels. Improver and Intermediate classes for those who are experienced with the technique and are happy to work a little faster. Introductory sessions and private one to ones for those wanting to get started or needing individual attention.
Pilates Classes in Exeter & Budleigh.
The majority of the participants will commit to a two month course of lessons. This ensures continuity in the group and enables the group to progress together through the course of classes. It enables me to get to know everyone within the group, their strengths and weaknesses and I can take this into consideration when I am planning the exercises. Even though you are part of a group class, I promise to provide you with a class suitable for your needs, which challenges you without risk of injury.
Classes are progressive so it is important that the class is able to progress at its natural pace. Once a course of classes has started it may be possible for a new participant to join the group but it may be necessary to have an individual session first.
Is Pilates suitable for me
Pilates is suitable for most people. Men and women of all ages and fitness levels can benefit from Pilates. Pilates is perfect for the new exerciser and will provide an excellent introduction to exercise. It is also a valuable support system for all regular exercisers and even professional athletes who want to enhance their performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Pilates will develop strong core muscles, which assist in supporting the back and helping maintain good posture. This in turn will help alleviate a sore or aching back.
Pilates exercises all the muscle groups in your body, challenging the weak areas as well as the strong. Pilates helps to redress physical imbalances that have arisen from poor postural habits or from repetitive movements at work. You may believe that a stiff back and a hunched posture is part of growing older, but this need not be the case.
If we pay regular attention to our bodies and invest in them with stretching, challenging exercises then we will benefit by feeling fitter and stronger.
