Body Control Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting the deep postural muscles, Pilates works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. Pilates helps to reshape the body, which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility. Pilates is also a great way to relieve stress and tension.

Pilates is suitable for all levels of fitness, from athletes and dancers looking to enhance their performance and avoid the risk of injury, to first time exercisers. The slow, controlled approach means Pilates gives much longer-term results than other forms of exercise. It is also recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems.

Basic Pilates can be done on a standard floor mat, with small accessories including balls, resistance bands and Pilates rings added for more variety.

We also have more specialised equipment in the studio in the form of Pilates Reformer machines, which are highly effective in providing additional resistance and assistance in exercising.
