"I have been taking pilates classes here for eighteen months now - initially one to one personal training and subsequently group classes. I love going - not only has my core strength improved immensely, I have had no back problems for a year! I find the classes informative, friendly and relaxing, and am so glad I found this place!" Caroline, Leeds

Pilates Leeds - Overview

“Thegreat thing about Pilates is it's easy - unless you're doing it right!

Pilates is a whole body movement technique which brings balance to the body. Joseph Pilates taught in his New York studio on machines he invented for the purpose. JP didn't teach mat work classes - they're a new phenomenon brought about to bring Pilates to the masses.

At Equilibrium Health, Claire Wray and her expert team emulate the original method by tailoring the exercise to the individual. Large group classes really don't offer the individual attention required to learn Pilates effectively, nor do they offer enough progression. Teaching one to one and in small groups we can offer precise instruction, adaptation and get to know our clients bodies for optimum results.

For the best results Claire recommends:

• A total of 2-4 sessions a week lasting between 15 minutes - 1 hour - quality, not quantity is the key
• At least one machine session a week if possible
• At least one session with a fully qualified teacher - in a class or private session
• Perform other forms of exercise, cardio and/or other resistance training during the week, incorporating the principles of Pilates.

Pilates learned properly is very effective and leaves you refreshed, strong, never strained. If you’re serious about the technique come to us and experience it for real.

The Ultimate Figure

Not only can we offer a great Pilates programme but Claire has used Pilates as part of her regime to train for Figure Competitions. During the lead up to her competitions she uses weight training and Pilates in a unique combination to sculpt her physique to a lean athletic look.

Claire has found that Pilates ensures an even development of her body while the weight training adds the muscle tone she needs to compete in natural body building competitions.
