In a nutshell, Plym Pilates is an individualised, pilates-based class that has evolved to address an attendees movement needs to promote healthy, safe, efficient and pain-free movement.

Exercises have been developed based on normal movement biomechanics to retrain muscles and joints to move more efficiently, something that may have been lost through the presence of pain, injury or lifestyle demands.

Plym Pilates is ideally suited to people who perhaps struggle to participate in general exercise for one reason or another.

Our Plym Pilates classes

Our Pilates classes are small, usually around eight participants and are tailored to individual needs and are ability led. We therefore fully assess everyone coming into the classes so we can place them in the right class for their movement deficits and needs. They run as a ‘course’ made up of a one hour session once a week for 8 weeks. Each week is structured to address aspects of movement to gain the the foundations of efficient movement to then progress onto one of the more advanced classes.

There is a range of classes from beginners to advanced, slower paced up to the power pilates class. This is the newest class which has evolved from the advanced class to provide an environment for those who already perform at a level of activity but have the odd niggle at higher levels or been told they need to develop their ‘core’.
