Pilates is a form of exercise that has an emphasis on strengthening the entire body with a strong focus on enhancing core strength, as well as increasing flexibility. At Mead Physio Group and Exercise Right & Rehab we offer both Reformer Pilates and Mat Pilates.

‍
Our Pilates Mat classes are conducted on the floor using an exercise mat. This form of Pilates uses body weight as resistance, with the addition of resistance bands or light weights on occasion. These classes are for individuals with higher fitness levels who have good balance and are able to move up and down from the ground. Each class at our Exercise Right & Rehab Studio is led by an instructor who delivers a session focusing on flexibility, balance, upper body, lower body and core strength.
Reformer Pilates uses a piece of equipment called a reformer machine, a spring-loaded system used as resistance. Reformer machines can be used for anything from injury rehabilitation to increasing fitness and sport specific training. At our Exercise Right & Rehab Studio, we run two different types of reformer classes, which include Reformer Rehab and Reformer Fitness classes.
Reformer Rehab is taken by one of our instructors who supervises clients as they undertake their individualised rehabilitation program. These sessions are for individuals of any fitness level, looking at starting rehabilitation.
Reformer Fitness is a class which is led by one of our instructors who delivers a set fitness session on the reformer which focusses on flexibility, upper body, lower body and core strength. These classes are for individuals with higher fitness levels.
It is our goal to help you increase your quality of life and walk alongside you throughout your health and fitness journey.
