Our Pilates Studio
Pilates focuses on developing long, lean muscles through control, flexibility and core strength. By making you more aware of your body, Pilates can become an invaluable component of any workout regimen. Whether you are looking to build strength, lose weight, increase flexibility, or seeking rehabilitation after an injury we’re here to help.
At Pointe Ahead Pilates we offer a mix of traditional Matwork, Reformer, Tower or Chair classes. Our Open Studio Sessions utilise all the various equipment (Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels) under the supervision of one of our amazing teachers. We also offer private 1:1or 1:2 appointments. No matter your ability, our team are here to help so contact us now if you have any questions.
Reformer Classes
The thing that really sets Pointe Ahead Pilates apart is our equipment. While the Reformer might look scary, it has proven benefits for increasing strength and endurance. It has a moving carriage with springs to provide variable resistance. A fabulous way to work out dynamically utilising the whole body whilst providing stability for joints.
Tower Classes
The Tower is similar to the Reformer as it uses springs to provide resistance and support. The stable mat makes it less daunting and is a great launch pad to some of the more advance exercises on other pieces of equipment. This is great for rehabilitation as the smaller movements can easily be controlled and once you have the hang of it there are some fun variations to spice things up.
Mat work
The most common form of Pilates due to its accessibility, requiring only a Mat. Focus is on improving posture, flexibility and core strength using body weight and breath to provide resistance. Our traditional Mat classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and experience.
Barre Class
Created from ballet-inspired moves, Barre classes focus on strength, flexibility, stamina and dynamic stability. Driven by music this a very functional way of training and it can increase coordination, motivation and movement quality whilst having a lot of fun!
Apparatus Open Studio Sessions
Working in a traditional circuit style on all the Pilates equipment with one of our fully comprehensively trained teachers. You will be taken through exercises to increase your strength, control and flexibility regardless of your starting level. With only a maximum of two people per session you will work in a way that is specific to your needs.
Private Sessions
If you would like a more personal and bespoke approach, we offer 1:1 or 1:2 sessions to safely challenge and improve your strength, stamina and flexibility. To find out more, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
