PILATES FOR TONING & STRENGTHENING THE BODY
You will get quick results from Pilates for toning the entire body and creating long lean muscles. It wont create muscles that bulk up, like you would if you were to go to a gym.

Once you are taught how to engage your core correctly, you will see a huge improvement in toning of the stomach (particularly the lower area of the stomach). You will also see more shape through the waistline.

It is your choice on whether you are wanting Pilates for toning and strengthening the entire body, or just focus on specific areas of the body. Some clients want to tone and strengthen just their arms and stomach, whilst others will only want to focus on toning their legs and butt.

The amount of strength you will gain from Pilates is like no other. It targets specific muscles that are deep, which creates more stability for your joints and skeletal system.

HOW TO BEGIN?
Firstly you must book for your one-on-one assessment. This where we can have a chat about your goals, a full body postural assessment will take place, and you will be shown stretches suited for your individual needs. You are also taught breathing techniques and how to engage your core correctly. From this assessment, the instructor will design an individual Pilates exercise program for your specific needs.

Once your assessment is complete, you can then book into any of our Individualised group classes at Hyde Park. Our Individualised group classes contain no more than 5 clients. Small classes are run to ensure each client receives individual needs and attention throughout. You basically get a personal trainer throughout the entire group session!
