Which workout is right for me?
Pilates is an integrated exercise system which develops the body uniformly and restores natural movement patterns. Fitness studios are filled with equipment designed to make muscles work harder. The spring-based Pilates apparatus is unique however, helping you to harness the power of conscious breathing and activate intrinsic muscle groups effectively.
Developed as an extension of traditional pilates training, the Evolution Workout uses the ‘time-under-tension’ principle to eliminate momentum and keep every movement precise and intense. While you will recognize many of your favourite pilates moves in this class, the Evolution Workout will challenge your muscle endurance and strength in a new way. So slow down to truly rule the springs throughout your 50 minute workout on this specially modified, modern reformer!

Reformer
Work your whole body and enjoy a dynamic workout on the Reformer, whatever your level of experience. Your deep muscles are engaged to stabilise the spine and joints, as you articulate and flow through exercises in all planes of movement. As well as lengthening and strengthening your muscles, reformer classes help to release unnecessary tension in the body, making everyday movements easier and more efficient. For group reformer classes, the studio is equipped with 8 special-edition Merrithew professional reformers.

Tower
You will use conscious breathing as you learn to move your body with joint integrity, emphasising good biomechanics and healthy patterns of spinal articulation. The tower bar and springs can be used to provide support or to increase resistance, so a healthy sweat-factor can be expected – the perfect recipe for a happy body and a happy mind!

Wunda Chair
Joe Pilates designed the Wunda Chair as a complete “home gymnasium” to give everyone access to Pilates! Exercises range from beginner to very advanced, with many exercises in sitting or standing – a good choice if you switch off as soon as you lay down! The chair class provides an optimal environment for functional training at all levels. You’ll definitely “feel the burn” whilst developing strength, coordination and balance (and we love the shoulder stretches and chest openers!)

Dynamic Jumpboard Reformer
Dynamic Jumpboard is a low impact cardio-workout that you do lying down. The jumpboard attaches to the Reformer and takes gravity out of the equation – but low-impact does not mean low intensity! You will definitely raise your heart rate and burn calories in this joint-friendly class. The supine position helps you maintain optimal spinal alignment but make no mistake – this class offers a great challenge for the core. You may be lying down but you are not taking a rest! Not suitable for those who do not have reformer experience.
