Pilates - what is it and what will it do for you?

Are you tired of feeling stiff and achy? Do you want to move freely, with ease and strength?

If so, Pilates could be the answer to help you start moving again. If you're new to Pilates and wondering what it's all about, let us break it down for you.

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening and stretching your muscles, with an emphasis on core strength. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this workout method has gained popularity for its ability to improve posture, flexibility, and overall body awareness.

At Black Cat Studios in London, we are dedicated to helping you achieve freedom of movement through our bespoke Pilates and Gyrotonic® classes.

When you join our classes in Chiswick, you'll have the opportunity to work with our expert instructors who will guide you through a series of exercises on the equipment - Pilates Reformer, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel and WundaChair, and the Gyrotonic® Pully Tower. This specialised equipment helps to support your body and target muscles that may be weak or tight, ultimately helping you to move better, and with freedom, strength and ease.

Wondering what to wear to a Pilates class?

Comfort is key, so opt for breathable, stretchy clothing that allows you to move freely. No need for fancy gym gear - just wear something that makes you feel good and allows you to focus on your movements. Non-slip socks are recommended.

So, what is Pilates good for?

In addition to improving your core strength and flexibility, Pilates can also help with posture alignment, stress relief, and even injury prevention. Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to improve your overall fitness level, Pilates has something to offer everyone.
