Pilates

Pilates is a method of controlled movements, which should look and feel like a workout. If practised with consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body. It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance. The core, consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips, is often called the "powerhouse" and is thought to be the key to a person's stability. Pilates' system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced or to any other level, and also in terms of the instructor and practitioner's specific goals and/or limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.

Pilates is 6.50 per 1 hour session

Group and one to one bookings are available on request

Diane Parker

For the past 17 years Diane has been a freelance Personal Trainer working within established gyms as well as with clients in their own homes. She gained her first pilates qualification 12 years ago and has been teaching pilates ever since. Since then she has qualified to a Level 3 standard in 'Mat Work Pilates'.
Pilates is as popular now as ever. With so many of us leading more and more sedentary lives or having careers where we are sat, often slouched in front of a computer screen, the need to correct posture, improve flexibility and joint mobility is more prevalent than ever. With this in mind, Diane will focus on the many benefits of Pilates these include improved posture, lengthening and strengthening the muscles, improved balance and stability so reducing the risk of injury or falls. In addition, she will focus on your posture, breathing stability and balance throughout the class in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which she hopes you will enjoy.
