These pilates classes are for women only and will leave you feeling wonderful.
Pilates is based on a set of principles that exercise the whole body through a range of mat-based exercises. It’s suitable for all ages and levels of ability – and with regular practice you can make positive changes to your body. Plus it’s great for your wellbeing too.
How Pilates works
Pilates involves the co-ordination of deep postural and stability muscles – combined with breathing, arm and leg movements, postural correction and flexibility. Scientific research shows Pilates can reduce pain and improve physical function, movement and wellbeing.
APPI pilates is a little different from standard pilates classes. With 4-6 levels for each classic Pilates exercise, our method makes Pilates accessible to everyone, with any level of fitness or injury.

FEEL GOOD PILATES 3 WEEK ON DEMAND PROGRAMME
A selection of short pilates sessions ( no more than 20 mins) to help you feel great over the holidays. It can feel a challenge to get to classes or to keep exercising over the holidays, so these short videos are to help you keep moving in a manageable way, that fit’s easily into your day.
The exercises are for mixed ability and some are more challenging than others. You will receive 2 workouts each week and you can choose to do them once, or as many times as you like during the week. Every week 2 new videos will drop.
You will also receive a plant based recipe ebook to give you some inspiration with your nutrition.
This is a whole body approach to becoming more mobile, creating more strength and balance in your day to day life.
You will need a cushion and hand weights for two of the sessions.
Pilates for women
Women only pilates
These classes are open to all women and there is an emphasis on pelvic floor, integrated breathing and core work, so my classes are ideal for mums or women peri to postmenopausal. The workout is low impact and can be adapted for all fitness levels.
I plan the classes to give you a whole body workout, in the hope you will leave feeling better than when you came in.
The classes are friendly, fun and there are options for all levels of fitness.
Classes need to be paid for in advance, but if you then cannot make the class and give more than 24 hours notice, your class can be used for another time.
Added extras:
I often do give aways in the class, most recently with pilates socks, Sweaty Betty purses and online memberships.
I also try and bring in some healthier snacks every now and again to refuel all the ladies taking part in the class.
Term dates:
Classes run alongside school term times. They currently run at my home studio in Girton and The William Collyn Centre, Girton.
Where:
The William Collyn Centre, Wellbrook Way, Girton : This beautiful light hall is spacious and perfect for this class. Plenty of free parking, a changing room, lockers and shower for after class.
Thornton Way, Girton, Cambridge: You can park on my drive or on street. The exact address will be sent on booking your spot. The studio is based in my garden.
