Perfect Fit Pilates

Press Ups with Magic Circle

This exercise helps to strengthen your triceps, stabilise your shoulders and strengthen your core muscles. To make it easier, you could keep your knees down on the floor. The magic circle is a prop to make the exercise easier and allows you to lower further with its support - but it's not essential.

It is great to know that all the work that we do is so much appreciated by our clients.

"Three years ago I was diagnosed with fractured vertebrae and pr*****ed disc. I couldn’t walk more than 100m without stopping in severe pain. My options to manage the pain were surgery or physical therapy. I tried several gym based pilates classes but never found any benefit. Now after the dedicated tuition and instruction of Ro, I am almost entirely pain free. Ro makes the 1:1 sessions very enjoyable and interesting by varying their content, whilst the Body Control Pilates program is structured to meet the current physical needs and ability of the participant – meaning you are challenged but never overwhelmed.

I now use everything I have learnt about controlling my body and managing my pain every minute of the day and would recommend PerfectFit Pilates to anyone looking to understand and control their back pain."

🌟 Unlock Your Potential with Pilates! 🌟

Hello Pilates Friends 💪 Are you ready to groove and move with me? Let's talk about the incredible benefits of movement and how it can enhance your life, especially as we journey into our later years.

✨ Age with Grace: Pilates isn't just about sweating it out; it's about building strength, flexibility, and balance. These elements are key to maintaining mobility and independence as we gracefully age. From bending down to tie your shoes to effortlessly dancing at concerts, Pilates prepares your body for all of life's adventures.

🌈 Joyful Joints: Movement is the magic elixir for our joints! Pilates exercises are gentle yet effective, helping to lubricate the joints and improve their range of motion. Say goodbye to creaky knees and hello to fluid movements on the dance floor!

💃 Dance like Nobody's Watching: Picture this: your favorite band is playing live, and the music fills the air with electrifying energy. With Pilates, you'll have the strength and stamina to dance the night away without missing a beat. So, grab your tickets and get ready to boogie down with confidence!

Remember, it's never too late to start your Pilates journey. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie to the mat, there's something for everyone in this empowering practice. Let's embrace the joy of movement together! 💃✨

🌟Looking for a quick and effective way to strengthen your core muscles? Try the Pilates Roll Up with a stretchy band!
👉 Start by sitting on a flat surface with your legs extended and the band around your feet.
🧘‍♀️ Inhale deeply, engage your core, and slowly articulate your spine down while exhaling.
💪 Keep your arms straight, gently pulling the band for added resistance.
⏸️ Pause midway, then inhale to roll back up, focusing on smooth movements from your core.
🌟 Finish by sitting tall with relaxed shoulders.

This exercise not only strengthens your core but also improves flexibility and promotes better posture. Give it a try and feel the difference!
