    There are 8 weekly Mat work Pilates classes Monday to Friday, at venues in and around Somersham, which are all live streamed on Zoom. Attend in person at venues or jump on Zoom.

  • Are classes suitable for me?
    Classes are suitable for adults of all ages and virtually all fitness levels, whether you have never done Pilates before or have experience in this unique form of exercise, each class is specifically planned to provide gentle but challenging core work exercise with attainable progression.
  • What is the class format?
    All exercises are demonstrated with various versions and intensity levels YOU choose. Low, Intermediate and Full versions are offered, with adaptions provided and encouraged as appropriate. Instructor Pilates Liz is very in tune with everyone who attends classes, whether at venue or on Zoom and always only offers what is suitable for you. Over a 10 week course, all 34 original Pilates exercises are covered and their versions. In a 60 minute class, between 7 and 10 exercises are practised with a Warm Up, Pilates Breathing Technique practice and Standing Posture check, the Pilates exercises, interlaced with stretching, resting and relaxing in between exercises, ending with Seated Posture & Pilates Breathing Practice and focused intense pelvic floor work.
  • What should I wear?
    Just wear clothing which is comfortable and allows you to stretch such as leggings, shorts or jogging bottoms. Wear a comfy top appropriate for the season and a pair of socks, which keeps your feet warm. Socks also allow you to easily slide the top part of your feet out across the floor without snagging and if you have a pair of non-slip socks with grip on the soles, this is ideal...bbut not necessary! Pilates non-slip socks are available to purchase in class at £9 a pair in various styles and colours.
