Pilates with Gecko

  • Low-impact exercises that work the muscles of the body from inside out.
  • Pilate’s exercises follow a deliberate, precise and controlled sequence of movements that use a specific breathing pattern.
  • Whilst exercising you are using your own body weight as an effective training tool.
  • The aim of the exercises is to lengthen the body and increase spinal stability improving flexibility, strengthen the centre and challenge muscular endurance.
  • By changing the way your body is programmed to move as a result of lifestyle occupation, stress and injuries, you are able to re-educate the brain and how it controls the muscles, by adjusting the firing pattern in which muscles are engaged and over time and repetitions you are able to restore muscular balance, restore correct posture, and maximise energy efficiency.
  • Each individual course of training begins with a physical diagnosis, forming the basis of a tailor made programme of exercises.  All our clients are personally supervised throughout their training and monitored at every stage of exercise, this makes for a prefect way to train for preventive injury.  As well as a way to rehabilitate the body after injury and pregnancy it is a well respected way to train for physical wellbeing.
