The Focus

ME Pilates focuses on each client individually, taking under consideration existing pathologies or injuries incurred from our modern way of life, activities or practiced sports whilst focusing on establishing better movement patterns. When participating in sessions at ME Pilates clients are encouraged to develop a level of independence by challenging their memory, their ability in developing better movement patterns and greater body awareness which will also lead them to feeling the holistic benefits of this amazing discipline.

Starting Up

New to Pilates?

This is where it all starts.

Starting Pilates can be overwhelming. There is so much to think about, to focus on, so many unfamiliar moves and strange looking pieces of apparatus.

Let’s break it down together and create a road map for your learning of this incredible method. This will help you build and enjoy a strong Pilates practice.

The first step is always the hardest, but also an exciting one. It will provide you with a chance to discover corrective movement patterns and the tools you need to carry them through your daily life activities, hobbies and sports.

You will be introduced to the basic repertoire on all apparatus and we will create your own Pilates pathway.

For better results, Pilates is to be practiced at least twice a week.

Private

Already practicing Pilates or returning to it?

This is where we start. Let’s level up and determine what your goals are, what you wish to get out of your practice and establish a pathway to get you there.

Already a client?

There is always a little more, therefore, if you are an existing client why not using this option as a special treat to yourself. This is a great way to deepen, expend and find out what you are really capable of under the scrutiny of your instructor.

Do you have a Pilates bucket list? An exercise that you wish you could do or do better? This is the best way to get all the tools to make it happen.

Groups

Small Group

Studio work is fun! This is where all the special apparatus are found, and the Pilates magic happens. Under the guidance of your instructor, the session can take many forms. Chair, Reformer, Tower, Barrel, small equipment or a combination, the studio is a canvas and it can be painted in many ways. All ways will lead to a fun, challenging workout observing the philosophy of Pilates original work.

Max of 4 clients per class | 55 min session

Mat Session

Done from the comfort of your home. This virtual session will challenge all Pilates clients regardless of their level. The Mat is the original work and was given by Joe Pilates to his client as a form of homework. It is no longer the case these days, however learning the Mat series enable you to take your practice anywhere and everywhere! Attending these sessions will help you finding some confidence and generate self-motivation to increase your personal practice on days that you don’t have a session scheduled, or if you are away. All it takes is a floor space big enough to fit in a yoga mat or a beach towel. Lay down and let’s move!

Max of 10 clients per class | 55 min session

**Group is where we want to see all our clients. New clients must have attended 1:1 prior.
