New to Pilates

Firstly, thank you for taking an interest in Winchester Pilates, and well done for starting your journey. Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on strengthening the core, improving posture, and enhancing flexibility and balance. It emphasises controlled movements, proper alignment, and mindful breathing to build strength and body awareness. Suitable for all fitness levels, Pilates can be practiced on a mat, or with specialised equipment, such as the Reformer, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, Chair, Core Align and Spring Board.

There are many different types of Pilates classes, and this is where we want to help you choose the right class to get you started.

In a beautiful environment, you’ll immediately feel a sense of calm when you arrive. We provide all the equipment you’ll need for any class, so you just need to turn up in the frame of mind to give it a go.

We have beginner and intermediate versions of all our classes, allowing you to learn the basics and progress if you’d like to. Many of our clients are happy to stay in a fundamental class, but as they become stronger, they benefit more.

Don’t worry, our instructors are very experienced, and our beginner classes will help you ease into Pilates gently and work to the ability of your own body. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll see improvements.

Even if you’re already fit, Pilates offers a unique focus on core strength, stability, posture, and controlled movement that complements other types of training well. You might find it challenges muscles you don’t usually target, improves your flexibility and balance, but Pilates also helps prevent injury by enhancing body awareness and alignment. So even if you’re strong or athletic, Pilates can still be a fresh and valuable addition to your routine and we’ll guide you through the fundamentals, so you feel confident from your very first session.
