Pilates Matwork - endorsed by your GP, Physiotherapist, Osteopath & Chiropractor; loved by professional dancers, horse-riders, sports people and the Hollywood stars! Target your mid-section and lower back. Create definition as you tone up abs and core. Prevent and alleviate back pain with intelligent movement to reach the deep layers of muscle which align hips, pelvis and back. Challenge your core with small exercise equipment designed to eliminate error and ensure correct alignment in key exercises.

IInvented in the early part of the last century (Pilates is about 80 years old) by Joseph Pilates, this system of exercise has grown in popularity as it has proven its effectiveness in the worlds of professional sports and dance.

Originally used by Mr.Pilates to maintain the health of internees during the 2nd world war, it was quickly embraced by the New York dance community and since then has become the complementary workout of choice for sports people, professional horse riders and those wishing to gain core strength and improved flexibilty of the spine.
Pilates works on building core strength or strength from the inside out. Complex muscles close to the spine and at the centre of the muscular system enable us to maintain good posture and back health. Pilates enables us to access this poweful centre easily without engaging unnecesary muscle groups or simply missing out on core strengthening as many other forms of exercise, even extreme and challenging forms of exercise may do.  Pilates is about quality, not quantity of movement!
