PILATES COACHES

Pilates is a great body strengthening exercise proven to help build your inner strength.

This form of exercise is suitable for everybody regardless of gender, age, ability or current fitness level. Studies have shown that Pilates exercises can improve quality of life by increasing mobility and decreasing back pain while improving posture.

The art of Pilates combines movement and breath together to work the smaller and deeper stabilizing muscles of the body. This can help you build inner core strength.

Pilates is a low impact exercise so it is ideal for anyone wanting to improve flexibility, mobility and balance.

If you are interested in starting Pilates find a Pilates instructor or coach who can help you get started. A Pilates instructor can work with you at your home or in the gym, but many Pilates instructors have their own specialised equipment including a Pilates reformer – a traditional piece of Pilates equipment which looks like a bed with a sliding carriage, ropes and pulleys. Pilates instructors may also use other apparatus like a chair, Cadillac or barrel.

Some Pilates instructors focus on mat work and don’t incorporate the reformer into their classes. This gives them greater flexibility because mat work can be done anywhere. Often mat work is done in a class environment.

Find a Pilates coach who offers what you are looking for. Do you want to join a social class where you can interact with others? Do you want to use a Pilates reformer or other apparatus that can help strengthen and stretch your body?  Of course, the Pilates teacher’s personality is also important and you want to find someone who is interested in helping you reach your goals.
