WHAT MAKES OUR CLASSES  DIFFERENT?
We keep our  numbers to 12 per class, that way we can teach YOU how to work out effectively;  after all, you are not there to watch us have a workout.

FIT  AND  HEALTHY?
We can show you how to stay that way, moving the spine, joints and body through a range of movements rarely addressed in a gym or sitting at a desk.

BACK PROBLEMS/REHAB?
We have an excellent reputation within
Northamptonshire for our  work with chronic back problems.

Orthopaedic surgeon  and spinal Specialist Mr Nick Birch 
frequently refers his patients to us as well as Mr David Stock Orthapedic Surgeon from The County Clinic  and Northampton General Hospital and Mr Rob Hicks  Consultant General and Vascular Surgeon based at Northampton General and Three Shires and other local surgeons, GP's, physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors.  Many of these professionals also attend our classes too.

If you click on the names above, you will be directed to their websites, Mr Birch has an excellent website on back problems, Mr Stock's will take you to the County Clinic that he has set up with Proff. Ribbans and Mr Hicks will direct you to The Hernia Clinic, all of which have a wealth of information, do make use of them. 
 
If you have back problems or other health issues that need rehabilitation or you just need careful handling - our classes are considered to be a safe continuation of your rehab programme.

TEENAGE BACK PROBLEMS
We are seeing a rise in the number of  young people with back problems. We are happy to include them in any of our classes and we do have a 4.30 class on Tuesdays to tie in with the school day.

PREGNANT
All our teachers are qualified to teach Pilates for Pregnancy. For existing clients who become pregnant it is easy for them to continue through to the birth, for new clients we can offer 1:1 sessions.

SPORTS  PEOPLE
We currently work with the county cricket team, the Academy and the Emerging Player Programme  as well as other local professional and amateur sports people.
 
We focus on preventing sports injuries - pre-hab, not re-hab!

"Since visiting Karen for some one to one (and she does not take any prisoners ) and then having a weekly class with Paula I have had virtually no problems with my back, super advice and a  real friendly atmosphere in the classes

I started in the 20:15 class with Paula and even at that hour of the day on a winters evening she
still manages to bring a smile to our faces, I now attend class with Emma and still thoroughly enjoying it.

If you’re a bloke, don’t be put off come and join the fun get yourself booked on a course ,but make sure you do a bit at home as well. It's harder than it looks but it's well worth the effort."
