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
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. As well as improving posture, balance and flexibility this form of resistance exercise makes it the best friend of anyone seeking to take control of their fitness.
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.
Online Mat work
Our traditional Mat classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and experience. If you are unsure of your level don’t worry, our teachers will safely guide you through the exercises whilst you build in confidence. All classes are currently online via Zoom so that you can workout from the comfort of your home.
Online 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! All you need is a chair and a light weight such as a couple of water bottles or cans of beans.
