Canterbury Pilates Classes

Pilates Reformer Classes – a first for Kent!

Do you want to be toned, stronger and more energised? The Reformer is a piece of classical Pilates equipment which has recently been adapted for use in a group fitness environment. The machine uses springs and pulleys to offer assistance or resistance, allowing the workout to be specifically tailor made to suit individual strengths and weaknesses. Regular classes improve core strength, alignment, upper body strength and much more.

Participants in a Reformer Class must complete a basic Pilates matwork course. Reformer workshops are held once a month as an introduction to the class. Please contact us for the next available date.

Pilates Matwork Classes

Matwork classes are a wonderful introduction to the Pilates method. Exercises focus on spine and joint alignment. Beginers are taught how to engage the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles effectively, thereby creating strong support for the spine. Exercises progress as strength and control in the individual improves. Small equipment in the form of balls, bands and rollers is often used to facilitate movement and improve alignment.

The matwork classes are now taught in our newly converted studio. This is situated in a building which used to be a brewery malt house in the 1800’s, and therefore has plenty of character. We have installed under floor heating and the studio is now a very lovely place to take a class.

The Pilates Studio Session

This session incorporates work on the Reformer, the Wunda Chair and the Wall Unit. The studio environment allows for a more personal approach, allowing the client to focus on any problem areas. Using the equipment allows the client to deepen control, improve balance and stability. If you want to work to achieve a higher goal, or are recovering from injury, this individualised session is a must for you.
