What is Fitness Pilates  

Fitness Pilates is a modern, research based group fitness class created for the apparently healthy adult. It is neither remedial, clinical nor is it designed for rehabilitation. Fitness Pilates utilizes all of the principals and includes many of the matt work exercises in traditional Pilates, but further offers modifications, diversifications and updated exercise prescription to provide a controlled body conditioning program appropriate for the general public.  

How does it fit in with other Pilates Programs

Fitness Pilates is a complimentary class aimed at all levels, ages and abilities. It is general level incorporating  basic Pilates techniques and exercises in a non intimidating and easy to follow way. Fitness Pilates is designed to sit along side clinical Pilates sessions and small group classes whose aim is rehabilitation therefore becoming an excellent �feeder� class for members wanting a more specialized form of Pilates.  It is a cost effective way of training that includes marketing and business ideas to help you set up and prosper in this area. Ultimately, it is custom designed and targets YOU. Every exercise, sequence, structure and lecture on the course has been thoroughly tried and tested.
