Our Pilates classes are run by practitioners who are trained by Physiotherapists to take into account our client’s medical needs. We also have our therapy team on site should any Pilates clients need some advice pre-class about an injury or problem they are having.

We offer a range of classes and 1-2-1 sessions with the instructor depending on individual preference or need. All sessions are individually tailored to your needs in collaboration with the on-site Physiotherapist as necessary.

All classes are in small groups offering close supervision to ensure quality and that all client needs are being met, therefore places are allocated on a first come first served basis.

All clients are booked in for an Initial Assessment with the Instructor prior to attending a class – this means that you know the basics of what you are doing before entering a class environment, and also means that the instructor can tailor the class to your needs so you get the results you want as quickly as possible.

All attendees of our on-site Pialtes classes also get access to our Virtual Pilates Portal – so you can do more at home / if you miss a class!

Open Gym

To help our clients to enhance their health in between any treatment sessions we allow Open Access to our on site Gym for them to use and follow programs in. Only those with approved memberships can access this service as everyone requires a 121 assessment and safety guidance before using the facilities.

CPD Courses

CPD Courses open to those working in Healthcare and the Fitness industry, as well as Holistic Health Services

Details of all of our Courses can be found on our Website under CPD Courses or as a clickable link in the Bio of each Tutor.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a state of focussed awareness, often accompanied by a feeling of relaxation. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, with the hypnotherapist acting as a guide, teaching the client how to achieve deeper levels of relaxation and wellbeing.

Suitable for a range of problems from anxiety to pain. Our Hypnotherapist employs a range of techniques to get you the desired result.

Holistic Therapies

Holistic therapies are a form of healing that considers the whole person – body, mind, spirit, and emotions – in the quest for optimal health and wellness. This approach goes beyond the focus on individual symptoms and aims to achieve maximum well-being where every part of the body is functioning at its best.

STUDENT PRACTICE

To help our students develop their skills we have the opportunity for them to practice (under indirect supervision of a qualified member of staff) their assessment and treatment skills towards the end of their training with us, this is after they have completed our Internal Training Program covering all the major body areas.
