ACE Pilates

Family fun day driving buggies round the Anldalucian countryside. We stopped at a view point to take some photos and the guys says you can sit on any of the black bits. Ermmm any of the black bits?? Like the roof?? Awesome!!! Slightly precarious as it’s only thin metal bars 😳 and it was rather breezy up there today!! But teaser on a buggy ☑️

The start of a new week is looming and February is upon us already!!! How did that happen??!!!
It’s gonna be a busy day at the studio tomorrow but there are a few places available if you’d like to join us. Give me a shout! 🤗

Took the kids to an indoor bouncy castle place while we were away for Christmas. I thought this giant chair would be the perfect place for a teaser…..turns out it was trickier than I thought!!! Also thought I was pretty fit until we ran round an inflatable obstacle course a couple of times and needed a sit down afterwards!!!! Maybe I should get some more cardio this year!!!

Had the best Christmas present this year from my brother……a trip to the Harry Potter studios!! Of course, I didn’t let the opportunity of a teaser pass me by! Still time for a couple more cheeky teasers before the year ends!!!! Where’s next…..????

Reminiscing on our Italian adventure last month and remembered I never did a teaser count. I’ll admit, I’m a little disappointed in myself! I only managed 10!!!! Think I’ll have to go back and do a few more!!!! Also never realised I have a favourite side! 😂 But apparently I always face the same way for a teaser!!!

I often give visual cues during class to help people achieve the correct positioning. One I use most often is the balancing of trays of drinks (usually Gin and Tonics!) on your back when in All 4’s to ensure spinal, shoulder and pelvic stability. Today I put that to the test but had to keep a human being safe instead! And I thought Sunday was my day off!!

Back home after our Italian adventure! Wow what a lot of walking and exploring we’ve done…..and maybe a bit of eating and drinking spritz too!!! Gonna scroll through my photos and see how many teasers I managed to do…how many do you think??!! (Haven’t posted them all yet!!)
We spent yesterday morning in the Leonardo Da Vinci museum and got to play with some of his inventions. The engineer in me had a fabulous time building bridges!! And the pilates instructor enjoyed a teaser in a mirrored box!!

Well……it had to be done didn’t it! Gondola trip around the canals of Venice and a cheeky teaser to finish off! Quite a mission on a rocking boat and a narrow seat on an incline! Think the gondalier thought I was a bit crazy!!!

Leaving Lake Garda today and on to the final leg of our Italian adventure! 2 more days of exploring and random acts of pilates incoming!!! Where will I pop up next??!!!

This one is dedicated to a very special client of mine! She’s been training with me for YEARS, we’ve been through a pregnancy and are currently rebuilding her post natal strength. She said i had to do a teaser in Italy with a gelato in my hand! So here it is Marta, pistachio gelato…..can you tell that I looked for the dry patch to sit down?!!!

Spent a wet day in Verona exploring the city. Pretended to be gladiators in the Arena.
Ate some prosciutto and cheese!
Took a million pictures of beautiful buildings and historical monuments.
Climbed 368 steps to the top of the Torre De Lamberti.
Did a teaser on Juliet’s balcony! Maybe another first??!!

It’s been a minute…..but a holiday in Italy calls for a few teaser specials! Here we are at the Castle Miramare in Trieste. Such a beautiful city with some stunning architecture. I wonder if I’m the first person to teaser on the staircase??!!! Probably! 😂😂 Also to my wonderful clients, you’ll be pleased to hear I am enjoying all the lovely Italian food and wine….so we’ll be working extra hard by the time I get back! You’re welcome!

Happy National Day Gibraltar!
Show me your National Day Teasers!!!!

Classes are back after the summer break! Think everyone has enjoyed a good stretch so far this week! Message me if you’d like to join a class!

Summer is drawing to a close and I’m starting to plan for the term ahead. Everyone attending PAAMOA sessions should have heard from me by now with your start date. Those attending ACE morning and evening sessions will hear from me soon! So enjoy the last few days of rest - we’re gonna hit that mat hard in September!!!

**Happy Post** Marta has been coming to my classes for over 5 years, so I was super excited to hear she was expecting her second baby. As I’ve been teaching her for so long and know her body/abilities/expressions, and she knew my teaching methods and terminology, I was more than happy to teach her throughout her pregnancy. (I’m fully qualified to do so!) So today was amazing to finally meet Miss Lena and see Mummy doing so well. Had some lovely baby cuddles - even though Lena appeared at times not to agree!! 😂 Well done Marta, she is beautiful and you’re an amazing mummy. Can’t wait to have you back on the mat soon.

Plenty of class options on offer this week - it’s the first full week with no bank holidays that we’ve had in forever!!! 3 evening classes today, both indoors and outdoors…..so whatcha waiting for!!!! Send me a message if you want to get started!

Love this!! Excuse Paddy’s language….but he’s got a point!!! 😂😂😂

Paddy’s experience of Pilates is pretty similar to most who give it a try. It’s very different to what is expected. “Stretching.” “Lying on your back on a mat.” “Sitting crossed legged, breathing.” All things I hear often. All a million miles from the truth! What’s your thoughts on Pilates? Whether you have ever practiced or not? Do you think like Paddy did before his class? Let me know below!

Spaces available today (air conditioned!)
Shout if you want to jump in!

Updated timetable as we move into summer! There will be a mix of indoor and outdoor sessions.
All classes are £7 each and you need to bring your own mat.
Message me for more information!

Some last minute spaces have become available for todays pilates classes! So if you’re free at 6pm today, why not grab your mat and join us??

The start of March is here!! That means this month we’re celebrating March Matness! (I haven’t decided how my socials will go this month!)

Some last minute spaces have opened up for this evening @4.50pm. So if you want to have a good stretch and get your body moving, send me a message!

Even on holiday I find an excuse for a spot of pilates! I’ll teaser anywhere and everywhere!!!! Here in a quiet section of Park Güell Barcelona.

Reminder there are only Wednesday evening and Friday morning classes this week.

Hands up 🙌🏼 if this is you…..????? Or the other classic….opposite arm to leg!!!! Sometimes it’s the simplest instructions that catch people out the most! And you can see the confusion spread across their face……and then body! 😂😂

To all my lovely clients on Valentine’s Day….this is true today, tomorrow and every day!! I appreciate you all and hope that it is reflected….in my counting!!!
Reminder classes continue tomorrow, then I’m off on a little holiday! See you next week 🤗👌🏼💪🏼🔥

If you want to be in a good place too, join me on the mat tonight! Spaces available. We’re using the resistance bands to hit those hard to find muscles you never knew you had! It’s gonna be fun!

I have a feeling some of this weeks ladies will agree with this one! Especially everyone who’s been using the resistance bands this week!! 🔥 💪🏼

Spaces available in all 3 evening classes today! 5pm, 6pm or 7pm!
