What is Fitness Pilates?

Fitness Pilates is a training option that focuses on the body as a human kinetic chain. By applying fundamental Pilates techniques and exercises, it helps to correct musculoskeletal imbalances. Originally developed by gymnast Joseph Pilates for injured dancers, Pilates has become widely known for promoting core strength, balance, and flexibility. Fitness Pilates builds on these principles, making them accessible in a group exercise setting.

Each session targets deep postural muscles, helping to strengthen the body from the inside out while improving alignment and reducing the risk of injury. This low-impact, weight-bearing workout also promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.

 

Who is it for?

Fitness Pilates is suitable for men and women of all ages, levels, and abilities who are looking to improve their strength, posture, flexibility, and overall fitness. It is ideal for:

✅ Healthy individuals seeking to enhance their mobility and strength

✅ Those looking for a balanced, low-impact workout

✅People wanting to prevent injuries and improve posture

✅ Anyone looking for a great way to relax and unwind

⚠️ Not suitable for: Participants with long-term health issues or certain medical conditions. If in doubt, always consult with your GP before beginning a new exercise program.
