What Makes Us Unique?
We had the first dedicated Pilates studio in the county; coupled with our commitment to excellence in teaching, we really do take your exercise sessions seriously. Therefore we limit the number of clients in each class, so we can plan each class around each individual. 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, so that you benefit from a deeper understanding of how your body moves and that you really do understand how to use the exercises that we give you. In time its like having an 'exercise tool box' you can use to gain control of your fitness and know why and how to use it best and get the most out of each class, along with videos that you can access between classes giving you all the cues and reminders you get in our classes. Check out Karen's blog on movement, it will really make you think about how you use and/or abuse your poor body.
All our instructors are highly qualified in either Pilates mat work or Equipment or both. Most of our instructors are Body Control Pilates® trained or hold internationally recognised qualifications.

Fit and Healthy and Need a Challenge?
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.
And for those of you who are accustomed to a more rigorous workout, did you know that Cirque Du Soleil performers all do Pilates with the equipment we use in our studio? Northants Pilates have over 30 classes each week held at our three venues in Northampton, Moulton and Rushden. We work with a huge range of clients from super fit to rehab, from professional sports people to weekend warriors and most definitely those with back problems.
