PILATES Matwork Group Classes

These small group classes (max 13 people) are friendly and personal with a relaxed atmosphere. You will learn to strengthen your whole body, especially your core muscles, improve your balance and posture, stretch out stiff spines and all in a relaxed, calming atmosphere. Classes are 1 hr long. In all classes regardless of description, there are plenty of appropriate options within the exercises for different levels of strength and mobility to keep you all suitably challenged, but still safe. Everyone is asked to bring their own mat, except to the classes in Great Shelford.

Reformer Pilates Group Classes

These hour-long classes take place at our own studio in Great Shelford, with a maximum of 7 in each class. Reformer Pilates uses all the same principles and techniques as Matwork Pilates, but adds spring resistance. The springs can be adjusted to tailor the exercise to just the right level for each person, so reformer pilates is not necessarily harder or easier than matwork - just different. Having said that, we do tend to get a little bit sweatier in these classes!

Current reformer pilates class times:

  • Mon 7.10am, 9.30am, 11.50am

  • Tue 10.40am, 1.40pm, 5.45pm

  • Wed 8.20am, 9.30am, 10.40am, 11.50am, 7pm, 8.10pm

  • Fri 8.45am, 9.50am, 11am

New classes starting soon:

  • Mon 1pm HIIT Reformer Class

  • Wed 1pm Healthy Bones (for clients with osteoporosis or osteopenia)

Classes are part of a monthly subscription package, billed at £57 a month, giving you access to one class a week for 38 weeks of the year, or £114 a month for two classes a week. This comes with access to a library of pre-recorded classes of varying lengths to keep you moving between classes.

 

PREGNANCY & POSTNATAL PILATES CLASS

Pilates can be a wonderful form of exercise for both preparing for birth and helping to recover after pregnancy. Strengthening up so that you are able to run around after those little people can be so helpful, satisfying and empowering. A well thought through Pilates programme can really aid recovery from Pelvic Girdle Pain, Diastasis Recti and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. These classes are kept small so that everyone can get plenty of attention and also so that it is easier to make friends with the other Mums and Mums-to-be. Classes are 1hr long.

  • Tues 11.40am Postnatal Matwork Pilates - babies welcome, St Mary’s Hall, Sawston

  • Tues 7pm Pregnancy Reformer Pilates, Contento Pilates Studio, Great Shelford

  • Tues 8.10pm Postnatal Reformer Pilates, Contento Pilates Studio, Great Shelford

These classes are booked as a course, usually six weeks long, at £120 for the reformer classes and £84 for the matwork class.
