Best Pilates Classes in New Malden

Pilates is appropriate for people of any age or fitness level. Pilates' unique approach to fitness allows any level, from a beginner to an athlete, to set their goals and work on their individual needs.

Joseph Pilates originally designed this system of movement as a rehabilitation tool. Pilates develops strength, stability, balance, and symmetry to areas of the body that may have been misaligned due to an injury. If you have been recently injured, it is recommended that you first obtain a release from your doctor to participate in the Pilates Exercise Program. If you are managing a chronic illness, before you take the class please be sure to share the details with your instructor so we can ensure your regimen is appropriate for you.

You can expect an increase in flexibility, mobility, balance, improved posture, and overall strength. A decrease in back pain/other general body pains. Many participants report a reshaping of the body, elongation of the waistline and upper thigh regions.

With any form of exercise, consistency is key. In the beginning, your body is learning a lot of new information and your mind/body connection is being established. The optimal recommendation is 2-3 times per week, however, once a week on a very regular basis can also be beneficial, providing you are doing some other exercise during the week. "In 10 sessions you will feel a difference; in 20 sessions you will see a difference and in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body."- Joseph Pilates
