Strengthen the core of your body and reap the healing benefits of Pilates at RevitaliseOriginally developed in the 1920s by physical trainer Joseph Pilates,

Pilates is an exercise system focused on improving flexibility and strength for the whole body, without building bulk. This leads to an
increase in muscular tone throughout your entire body.

Pilates focuses on stabilising and strengthening the core of the body
(the lower back and abdomen), and these core muscles support the body
during all exercises. This principle makes Pilates extremely functional
and you will discover stomach muscles you never new you had!
Breathing, correct posture and body alignment are all important in
Pilates where the focus is on fewer repetitions and more precise
movements using correct control and form.

The Pilates method of mind body conditioning promotes physical
harmony and balance for all ages and physical conditions while providing an energising workout. Recommended by therapists and the medical profession, the Pilates method can be integrated into rehabilitation
and fitness programs both during or post injury.

Pilates is best learned as a small group, progressive course where the
teacher is hands-on to ensure you are performing each exercise correctly.
Revitalise offers over 20 daytime and evening small group courses a week.
You begin with a six-week introductory class and can progres onto level 1,
level 2 and level 3 courses at your own pace. They also run pregnancy
pilates courses. To get you started, book a six-week course and pay for
only five weeks when you quote ref ‘wave’.
