Why Pilates?


Devised by Joseph Pilates, Pilates is an exercise technique that emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness.  Our day to day lifestyles of rushing around,  bending and lifting, sitting at desks and spending long periods of time sat in cars can greatly effect the way our muscles and joints function and therefore effect our posture.  Pilates works on the alignment, centring and strength throughout our bodies to help correct these common problem allowing our pelvis and spine to come back to their natural shape and placement.

 

Participants often report the feeling of their bodies becoming stronger, longer, leaner, more toned and being able to do the everyday things with grace and ease that once caused discomfort. Pilates is suitable for all ages and abilities and is fast becoming one of the most popular exercise methods. 

 

Pilates can help with the following-  

 

Posture

Bad back

Injury rehabilitation

Core strength

Muscle tone

Flexibility

Pre and post natal fitness 

General health, well being and mood

Relaxation

Testimonials


Pilates classes with Hayley are very enjoyable and have really helped me to improve my posture. The classes are small which means you get Hayley's one to one attention as well as not being rushed through each movement. She creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, yet works you hard enough so you reach your potential, gaining the most from each session

Whilst I was pregnant Hayley would gear the exercises to my ability & the stage of pregnancy I was. She always pitched the exercises just right, the exercises were challenging enough to feel that you\'d done a class but never too much.  After my baby I returned to Hayley's Pilates class & the exercises got tougher

- Claire Gibbs

The thing I like best about Hayley's classes is that they are different every week, so they never become boring.  Hayley focuses on the small group of people in each class and manages to find different exercises, sometimes incorporating equipment such as pilates rings, foam rollers  and prickle balls, to interest and challenge everyone week after week

- Melanie Pointer

I have been attending Hayley’s pilates classes for 7 years or so. A real plus point are the small classes and hence the individual attention that Hayley can give; you can’t get away with doing an exercise incorrectly!   Classes seem to be carefully planned with a good variety of exercises each week. She is great at offering advice on my ache and pain of the week and tailors the exercises appropriately; she also offers advice on do’s and don’ts to aid recovery.  I would always recommended Hayley’s classes to anyone who is interested in pursuing pilates

- Julia Betts

Nine years ago I started Pilates Classes with Hayley, a testimonial to how fantastic her classes are in itself & the longest I have stuck at anything!  Her attention to detail, ensuring technique is accurate, her passion for continually updating her knowledge – from Ante/post natal to back complaints, and her small intimate classes, ensures that every client gets 110% out of every class. I can’t recommend Hayley’s classes more highly. I would say to anyone who is thinking of trying a Pilates class, to go to Hayley. You’ll never look back, i didn’t.

- Carrie Witts

Hayley’s are the best pilates classes I have ever attended.  The personal attention Hayley gives to everyone in her small private classes is second to none.  She has worked wonders on my back problems with her excellent advice and genuine care. Thanks a million Hayley!

- Linda Kelly

I took pilates classes with Hayley during my second pregnancy. There was a very friendly and focused atmosphere in the classes, and Hayley managed to give each person plenty of individual attention. She always tailored the level and complexity of the exercises to my ability and stage of pregnancy. It was a great way to stay strong and keep moving.

I have been having Pilates classes with Hayley for 3 years. After 2 children she has helped me find my core again. Her classes are small so she can focus her attention to you individually (sometimes not welcome first thing on a Monday morning!), but also enabling us to work at different levels within the group without wasting time.

- Aruna Milson

I have attended classes through training for the London marathon which was key to getting my body in perfect condition alongside such intensive running. Hayley is so thorough and versatile that she also taught me through my pregnancy in order to keep my body at it's best and brought my core back to full strength post baby. I can't recommend her classes enough for all ages, mobility and strength levels. Many thanks Hayley x

- Nikki Sturt

I have attended Hayley's pilates classes for years (including pregnancy).  The size of class always makes me feel confident that Hayley is monitoring & critiquing my technique. Paying special attention to my sciatica & back problems. A fun yet professional class which I always thoroughly enjoy

- Nicola Davie

I have trained with Hayley over the last 7 years. She has helped through pre and post pregnancy and more recently post ankle surgery. No class is ever the same and she is always able to adapt classes to individual needs with ease. I look forward to Mondays and always feel energised after a class (it's not always easy but always entertaining). Professional, varied and fun!

- Holly Stone

I have surprised myself with how strong my tummy muscles can get, with regular attendance and an amazing teacher! Thanks Hayley!

- Aruna Milson

Hayley's classes are great - small, friendly in a great environment. The classes content is different every week, some classes I've been to in the past are stale and repetitive so it's really refreshing to focus on different moves and areas each time. Hayley is so friendly and it's brilliant to have someone correcting you if you are not quite in the right position and giving you tips on how to get the best from the class.

- Kate Hobbs

Hayley works to each attendee’s personal needs, taking into account injuries and ongoing health issues.Personally, I suffer from sciatica, but have found the approach Hayley has to my personal problem very reassuring. Her technique and exercises’ have been very beneficial for me and have helped me strengthen my core, thus improving my posture and easing the pain.
