Pilates and Health
Pilates
In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 you'll see the difference and in 30 you'll have a whole new body.
Joseph Pilates
"I was in constant pain and was due to have a back operation for two prolapsed discs. I had had a number of crisis episodes of intense pain and acute numbness and I needed lots of osteopathic interventions and wore a TENS machine a lot.Working with Denise has been absolutely great. The classes are small and she is really attentive to make sure we do the exercises properly. Classes are varied, different equipment is used and I've had really positive results. The reduction in my pain is significant and the bulging discs have reduced enough for my surgery not to be required.
For once I feel I have some control over my back issues"
Suzanna H (Beckenham)
Classes:
My classes are small with a maximum of 12 in a class so I’m able to move around the class and correct you individually. This will help you understand and make changes quicker and hence become stronger and pain free.
Since lockdown I have run some zoom classes as well which enables my clients to either add an extra class onto their schedule at no extra cost or join as a zoom client only. I also record one of the zoom classes and send out the recording link to all my clients. So there is no such thing as missing a class and I even have clients keeping up with their pilates when they are on holiday.
Equipment:
Due to covid it is now considered beneficial for you to have your own equipment which includes a mat, head cushions, yoga block and a band. However, I can loan you all you need for your try out class, so no need to purchase anything until you are sure you want to join.
Variety:
I bring along a different piece of equipment to each class. Pieces of equipment include foam rollers, large gym balls, wobble boards, sit fits, weights, over balls, franklin balls, resistance bands etc. Equipment not only keeps the classes interesting but you will be able to feel movements in a different way and improve, strengthen and become pain free quicker.
Beginners:
If you are a beginner I do recommend a 1:1 session. We can go over breathing, start positions and a number of the regular exercises and different pieces of equipment, so it’s not so over whelming when you start your first class. I also give a short posture analysis and give you tips on how to help your posture on a day to day basis which will help you reduce pain and enable you to get even more from your classes. This costs £55 and although is extremely useful is not obligatory.
Alternatively you could come along for a try out class for the nominal fee of £5. If you enjoy the class you can join with an introductory offer of a block of 10 classes for the price of 7 which is £91
