Review Pilates Approaching 70 with age and arthritis related mobility issues, I decided to try a Pilates class and came along to Club-K in Hextable in January.
The classes are small,
friendly and Luke makes them fun. He is encouraging and
explains things clearly, so I am able to repeat some of the
exercises at home too. A few weeks in I was already seeing
the benefits in improved posture, strength and flexibility.
Now I can get up off the floor unaided and touch my toes
again. I even managed a couple of hours on the dance floor
at the recent Swanley Rugby Club Ball!

Pilates at Club-K in Hextable, Kent £15 a class or part of a membership.
Pilates was developed by German born Joseph Pilates, Who believed that mental and physical health were closely related. Pilates immigrated to the US in the 1920's and with wife Clara opened a studio in New York where he taught his method Contrology for several decades. Pilates aims to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing. Focusing on the 6 fundamentals of Pilates (Control, Concentration, Centering, Breathing, Flow and Precision) exercises are timed with your breath so you move at your own pace. Pilates exercises are sequenced so that most people can increase strength and flexibility in a way that is suitable for where their fitness levels are today. Pilates is often advised by Doctors, Physiotherapists and Osteopaths because of the focus on spinal alignment and support. Due to the controlled nature of the class it is great for beginners as you work at your own speed and level. Each class is limited to 12 people, this small group allows attention to precision and attention for questions.

Reformer Pilates at Club-K in Hextable, Kent
Reformer Pilates is an evolution of traditional mat-based Pilates, using a specially designed machine (the Reformer) to add resistance, support, and variety to your training. Building on the original method developed by Joseph Pilates, the Reformer helps guide movement, improve alignment, and enhance strength through a full range of motion. Using springs, pulleys, and a moving carriage, exercises can be made easier or more challenging depending on your level, making it suitable for beginners through to more experienced clients. The added resistance helps to develop strength, stability, and control, while also improving flexibility and posture. Like mat Pilates, Reformer focuses on the 6 fundamentals (Control, Concentration, Centering, Breathing, Flow and Precision), but the machine provides feedback and assistance to help you move more efficiently and confidently. Booking onto a monthly course is a great way to progress, as you build strength and confidence alongside the same group each week, allowing for consistent development and a supportive environment. Each class is limited to 10 people to ensure individual attention, helping you get the most out of every session. Book your Reformer Pilates Session Here
