Pilates

Pilates is a flowing movement exercise system, which strengthens major abdominal muscles through a sequential series of exercises. This is low impact, mat work, but with experience will increase cardio vascular output. Classical Pilates has been developed from the original system developed by Joseph Pilates during the First World War, integrating modern medical advances and scientific research.

Why Do Pilates

  • Pilates strengthens the centre of your body so that it supports your torso and lower back rather than the muscles hanging from your skeleton
  • It helps you to stand up straight with correct posture and re-educates postural muscles to do their intended job
  • It prevents and helps relieve back pain
  • Facilitates the body’s smaller, weaker muscles to work as well as the more dominant ones
  • Aids flexibility
  • Improves sports performance due to the athlete being able to work from a stronger more stable base
  • Tones your body – lose inches – better silhouette
  • Loosens you up from a day stuck at your desk

Pilates FAQ's

Reasonably tight clothing that allows you to move freely –

jogging bottoms/leggings and a fitted T-shirt are ideal.

Socks may be worn but shoes are not required.

Yourselves and a suitable exercise mat.

Having your own mat is more hygienic as you are likely to get hot and sticky plus it also allows you to practice at home.

(Yoga mats are too thin to use for Pilates, I can advise you on mats and where to purchase them).

Entry into Pilates Classes is done via a beginners workshop or one-to-one in my therapy room, this allows me to assess your body’s movement and gives you an insight of this flowing movement system, understand its principles and establish where your “Powerhouse” is and how to activate it. Beginners workshops are every two or three months.

All group mat classes have a maximum of 12 students.
All the Pilates classes are at different levels and you will be asked if you would like to move up to the next class when I feel you are ready.
My classes are not suitable to participate in whilst you are pregnant. Your baby needs room to grow and will not appreciate you starting deep abdominal strength training at this special time. It is however important to think about your posture and try to stand and sit correctly using your deep abdominal muscles for support.

What Our Clients say

Great teacher. Exercises personalised according to need during the class. The class is structured but every few weeks the emphasis changes to highlight & work on different areas.

Good fun!
Debbie keeps us on our toes (literally)!

Thank you Debbie for your excellent tuition and helping to keep me fit and mobile.

I have been attending Debbie’s Pilates classes for years now - and still love them! She teaches in small groups so is easily able to spot any exercise being done incorrectly. Thanks to her my back is totally sorted out after a fairly major injury (sacral fracture). She comes highly recommended!

Debbie’s Pilates classes are exactly what I had been searching for, for a long time, she works every muscle in your body, leaving you feeling stretched, taller, more flexible, and is able to adapt the exercises if you have limitations. I always feel better for having been to class.

Continuing to attend regular pilates sessions with Debbie Coleman is the best thing I have done in terms of keeping fit and healthy. Having suffered a prolapsed disc some years ago, I did have the tendency to suffer back and leg pain. However, since attending these regular pilates sessions with Debbie, I rarely have back pain and notice that I use the healthy movements and postures in my everyday life. Over time, I have noticed my body to be more flexible with more strength and balance. Debbie is an excellent instructor, demonstrating the movements and giving feedback, she varies the focus of the exercises which assists in overall benefit. I will definitely continue these classes with Debbie to maintain my health and I have also recommended her classes to friends and colleagues.
