Physio-Led Pilates
What is Physio-led Pilates?
Physio-led Pilates is a form of low impact activity which strengthens the whole body. With a large emphasis on breathing it helps to improve core stability, postural alignment and flexibility, thereby helping you to move more efficiently.
Expect movements to be slow and precise, to improve body awareness and to learn the concept of control. Pilates is beneficial as part of a well rounded fitness plan and can compliment other areas of fitness to improve performance, injury prevention and promote injury / pain rehabilitation.

Client Testimonials
“When starting Pilates with you I was apprehensive and unsure if I could do the exercises, and I suppose self conscious too. However, over the past few weeks I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and tonight in particular I thought I can do this and the difference in myself is unbelievable. I can’t believe how much stronger I feel! So it leaves me to say… thank you very much - you do your job so well and you can see you have a great passion for it” (Sarah).
“I couldn’t recommend Gillian highly enough. She has been a fantastic teacher for me over the last few months during the postnatal period and beyond. Her lessons are focussed and adapted to your individual needs, whilst being so enjoyable that the time of her lessons flies in. Her expertise, experience, professionalism, personality and own ability amalgamate to provide great classes and great results. Thank you so much” (Melanie).
“Walking home after that class I could feel muscles I had not used in years. I also found muscles I didn’t know I had. I am now in the improvers class and loving it. I feel strong. I fractured my vertebrae and this is what has got me injury free for the last 8 months. Do it - don’t think about it. Gillian is amazing.”
“Gillian’s style in class really suited me. I feel a great deal of confidence in her knowledge, and I could understand what the various exercises were trying to achieve. Gillian took a great deal of care in explaining and demonstrating how to do the exercise and making sure that I and the others in the class were in the correct position. She was able to offer alternatives depending upon my level, so that everyone could always do some version from the more basic levels to the more advanced. I felt so much benefit, that I have gradually built up the number of sessions I now do with Gillian, including some 1-1 sessions, which tailor the exercises to me. Gillian’s exercise plans support and challenge me. They are varied so it is never dull, and gradually through her encouragement and care, I now feel that I have come a long way from where I started. Yes, still room for improvement, but with Gillian’s help I am sure I can keep improving and feeling the benefits (both mentally and physically).”
