What is Pilates?

Pilates is a low-impact workout that focuses on strengthening your core – think abs, back, glutes, and all those stabilising muscles you didn’t know you had. It’s a mix of strength, balance, and flexibility work, helping you move better and feel stronger in your everyday life. Whether you’re easing back into exercise, recovering from an injury, or just looking to build some solid core strength, Pilates is gentle but effective. With endless variations to keep things fresh, it’s a proper full-body workout – without the sweat-drenched struggle.

Core strength

Pilates is famous for firing up your core – not just your abs, but your back, hips, and glutes too. These muscles are your body’s powerhouse, keeping you stable and supported whether you’re exercising or just getting through your day. Expect to feel stronger, more balanced, and less prone to those niggly aches.

Better posture

Sick of slouching at your desk? Pilates helps you stand taller and move with more awareness. It strengthens the muscles that support your spine and encourages proper alignment, so you’ll find yourself sitting straighter and feeling more confident in your body.

Low-impact but powerful

Pilates is gentle on your joints but still gives you a proper workout. The slow, controlled movements help build strength and flexibility without the risk of injury. It’s perfect if you’re after something that’s kind on your body but still delivers results.

What to Bring to Your Pilates Class

A mat (or borrow one from us)

Comfortable, stretchy clothes

A water bottle

A small towel if you like to stay fresh

Grip socks (optional but great for extra stability)

A light jumper or layer for warm-up and cool-down

Yourself – ready to feel strong
