Welcome to Northants Pilates at
Northants  Cricket,  Northampton,
The Chris Moody Centre, Moulton  
The Shoe Factory, Rushden. 

Picture
We have run Pilates Classes in Northamptonshire for 14 years and have an unrivalled reputation for excellent teachers and sound results throughout the county. 

All the information you need to decide whether Pilates is suitable for you is here, from Pilates Foundation Classes,  Private Tuition or Pilates Equipment Sessions. 

Our Northants Cricket Pilates Studio is  has space for mat classes and equipment for 1:1 sessions, our Moulton Studio has a fully equipped Pilates Studio and separate space for mat classes and the Rushden studio is fully equipped for mat work.
 
We work closely with many local health professionals from surgeons to physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths who all refer their patients to us for safe exercising especially for those with back pain. 

We don’t just teach those needing rehab though, we work with local professional sports people such as the County Cricket players, rugby players and footballers as well as many of our regular clients who compete in Triathlons or just like to run most days to stay fit and healthy and get away from the keyboard and out into the fresh air.
 
All our instructors are highly qualified in either Pilates mat work or Equipment or both. We have the only dedicated Pilates studio in the county and with our commitment to excellence in teaching we take your workout seriously. We limit our numbers so we can plan each class around the people attending and their requirements. It’s the nearest we can get to personal training without the costs. 

Our sessions are hands on to ensure you work with correct alignment and posture at all times and get the most out of each class, there is little value for you watching us have a workout.
 
Most of our instructors are Body Control Pilates® trained, I trained with Lynne Robinson on the very first of their teacher training courses in 1996 and 15 years on I still love it and I am also part of the teacher training programme and also a Regional Rep for BCP® teachers. 

As part of that commitment to teacher training programme there will occasionally be students in the classes alongside us as the student teachers work through their supervising teaching programme. Which means another pair of eyes watching your work and helping you to find the correct alignment! 

The Northampton studio is based within the County Cricket Ground on Abington Avenue, we have just opened another studio at The Chris Moody Centre at Moulton College and the Rushden classes run from a converted Shoe Factory with under floor heating, views of the sky from the skylights as well as a grand piano, endless shelves of books and old jazz records...a wonderful venue for Pilates classes. 

If you have any concerns about the suitability of Pilates for you, please feel free to call me, we are very experienced teaching those of you with back pain, we understand the very real fear that you might have about an exercise class when you have had chronic back pain and we can certainly show you how to exercise effectively and gently without risk of further injury or damage.

For those of you who might think Pilates is only for back problems, we can show you its anything but limited.. Cirque Du Soleil performers all do Pilates with the equipment we use in our studio. Many many top athletes in all sports now use Pilates equipment to challenge their fitness in ways not possible with conventional gym equipment. 

If you’ve tried TRX or similar fitness systems, let us show you equipment that can challenge you even more. 

Pilates really is for  everyone.
