I woke up on Friday morning and my back didn't hurt. I couldn't remember how that feels.

 

My back hasn’t been so good for a long time.

WHAT IS PILATES?

In a nutshell, it's a system of exercise designed to overhaul your body. During a class you will mobilise your joints whilst making your muscles stronger and/or more efficient. This is why it works so brilliantly to manage pain and posture. If you've got any worries here are some beginner FAQs explained: Beginner Pilates Myths

WHO COMES TO OUR CLASSES?

We have everyone from new mums to ironman triathletes, from 20s to 80s. From the very stressed corporate employee to the retired granny. It works for everyone because everyone needs and takes something different. Above all our classes are relaxed, challenging, educational and light hearted. We believe exercise should be fun.

It's more than just Pilates. It's the foundation of a new, stronger, more confident you and the foundation of any good strength and conditioning programme.

A Little Fitter: Strength, Movement & Meaning Beyond 40

This isn’t just a fitness book - it’s a guide to building strength, resilience, and confidence in the second half of life. A Little Fitter blends the science of strength training with the wisdom of Pilates, offering practical workouts, week-by-week plans, and honest reflections on motivation, hormones, mindset, and self-compassion.

Whether you’re navigating postnatal recovery, midlife changes, or simply want to feel strong, capable, and at home in your body, this book is here to show you that it’s never too late - and you’re never too far behind - to start.

Why Choose Fit School Pilates

Have you been recommended Pilates by a friend or physio? Maybe you've got back or joint niggles or you're a runner who wants a conditioning and mobility class to get you started with strength and core conditioning.

Rather than put it off (because you don't know where to start) come and join us for Pilates with me,  Karen.

I've been teaching Pilates for 18 years and have developed a teaching method that works, whatever your start point. You'll feel confident and encouraged (rather than told off). You'll feel better after the first class but the real results come after consistently doing Pilates for four to six weeks.

If you feel like you need more support getting started, you can book in for Physio Referral Pilates, a 6-week course that combines private sessions and programming with weekly classes.
