Service Description

What is it? A 30 minute mat based pre-recorded Pilates class. Fitness Pilates applies the fundamental Pilates techniques and exercises to: - increase muscular balance and strength; - improve posture; - improve core strength; - identify basic postural imbalances. Fitness Pilates will strengthen and tone weak muscles and improve flexability by lengthening tight muscles. What do I need? We use the hall at the school and it has a cushioned floor. You will need suitable footwear, socks or bare feet depending on which class you are attending. You need to wear something comfortable that you can move and sweat in - skirts and dresses not recommended in a public environment. Equipment needed - You will need your own mat. Please feel free to bring your own blankets and cushions if you need padding for sore knees and your own yoga blocks if you have trouble sitting on the floor in anyway. Most other equipment will be provided unless you wish to use your own. Everyone will need a FREE bronze membership on the VFJ Pilates website to complete the health questionnaires. Please ensure you have filled out the health questionnaire and emergency contact form prior to the commencement of the class. Who is it suitable for? This is suitable for absolutely anyone.
