Pilates is a form of exercise that strengthens the entire body, enhances core strength and increases flexibility. Our Exercise Right + Rehab team run both Reformer Pilates and Mat Pilates classes – 45 minutes of fun and rewarding hard work at your level! Our instructors ensure you are performing each move with correct technique whilst getting all the great benefits of a Pilates workout.
Who is it suitable for? Pilates is a safe and highly efficient work-out for people of all ages, including pregnant women and the elderly. Pilates has been used successfully in the rehabilitation of conditions such as: back & neck pain, headaches, post-operative strengthening, postural problems and injuries, as well as for people without pain wanting to get fit.
The equipment: Reformer Pilates exercises are performed on the Reformer and the Trapeze Bed. Both pieces of equipment feature a spring-loaded system used as resistance to movement. Reformer machines can be used for anything from injury rehabilitation to increasing fitness and sport specific training.
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.
What to expect: Your physiotherapist will assess your fitness level, then design and initially closely supervise an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. This exercise program will include movements to tone and lengthen your muscles within the limits of your comfort. We suggest that you wear comfortable non-restrictive clothing and socks are worn when using the equipment. Once you are performing the exercises safely and correctly, you will be encouraged to use the equipment more independently.
Reformer Rehab: Classes are supervised by one of our qualified instructors and are designed for clients participating for injury rehab and their own personalised reformer program. Participants will require completion of a studio induction.
Reformer Fitness: Classes are a run as a set program by a qualified instructor. These classes are designed for clients with higher levels of fitness wanting a serious workout for your whole body. All participants will be required to complete a Health Waiver prior to their first class.
Pilates Mat: Each class is led a qualified instructor who delivers a session focusing on flexibility, balance, upper body, lower body and core strength. Pilates Mat is suitable for individuals with higher fitness levels who have good balance and are able to move up and down from the ground.
