Achieve Results
Traditional (aka "Classical") Pilates is a proven system to build strong, supple, and resilient bodies. Pilates works for everyone! Whether you are looking to become more flexible, get stronger, or reduce pain, Pilates can help. Here at the studio we adapt workouts to suit all bodies and abilities. With a consistent practice of at least 2-4 weekly Pilates practice scientific research reveals an array of health benefits: improved muscle endurance and flexibility, reduced chronic pain, weight loss, and less anxiety and depression.

Reclaim Your Health
Studies demonstrate the importance of resistance training to build bone density, muscle tone and strength for all ages. Traditional Pilates provides constant resistance using the spring system on the apparatus. Pilates also improves coordination, flexibility and balance, important aspects to maintain as we age. The more physically active we are, the better we can manage our weight.
-
Reduce Aches & Pains
Many Pilates exercises resemble prehabilitation and rehabilitation exercises. Numerous studies show that physical activity reduces chronic pain by building muscle strength and flexibility, reducing fatigue, reducing pain sensitivity, and reducing inflammation.
-
Improved Mental Health
Studies demonstrate those who exercise regularly have improved mental health and emotional well-being with lower rates of mental illness. Regular and consistent exercise boosts mood, concentration and alertness, and can significantly reduce the risk of developing dementia by about 30 per cent.
Over 38 weekly small group classes to choose from!
