What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on controlled movement, strength, stability, posture, flexibility and body awareness.
Rather than simply moving through exercises, Pilates encourages you to concentrate on how your body moves and how you control each movement.
Exercises can be adapted to suit different levels of ability, making Pilates suitable for people who are new to exercise as well as those who are more experienced.
At Bodyform, our Pilates classes focus on helping you develop a stronger, more controlled and confident body through progressive movement and exercise.

Pilates can be a useful way to:
- Build strength and muscular endurance
- Improve core and whole-body stability

- Improve mobility and flexibility
- Increase body awareness

Pilates can also be a great addition to physiotherapy rehabilitation, helping you continue developing strength and movement confidence beyond your individual treatment sessions.
