About Pilates

Joseph Pilates was born on December the 9th in 1883 in Munchengladbach, Germany. He was originally a circus performer and a boxer before inventing an exercise system he called Contrology. After his death the name was changed to Pilates. Joseph dedicated most of his life to his exercise system, and truly believed it could heal injuries. He believed his system would keep the body and mind fit and healthy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been doing Pilates and yoga for many years with several instructors. Denise is one of the very best. She provides a programme that changes frequently and meets the needs of a wide range of needs and abilities. She provides clear and focused guidance, explaining in straightforward ways the aim of each exercise and how to perform it. Both her Zoom on line and face to face classes are enjoyable and very helpful. Highly recommended! AP

REALLY GOOD!

Always enjoyable classes, and feel like I’ve had a good work-out. Denise explains the moves as we work. Really good! JH

ONE OF THE BEST

Denise is one of the best Pilates instructors around. She explains as she goes, which, to my mind, makes everything so much easier to follow. Would recommend her classes! DH
