PILATES
Pilates is hugely beneficial to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey, the holy grail of body-loving fitness, you might say. Slow controlled movements allow your body to really work whilst being low impact enough for even complete beginners. Have you ever seen a 90-year-old that looked & acted about 50… or a 50-year-old that looked & acted 30?! (I’m looking at you Elle MacPherson) They’ve been doing Pilates. I put money on it.

What should I expect?
Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. You can do Pilates with or without equipment (more on that below), but no matter what, expect the moves to involve slow, precise movements and breath control.
Who is it for?
This is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Therefore it’s great for anyone looking to improve their posture, aid back pain or tone up all over. We have three different classes at FRESH. so you can pick and choose your favorite!
What’s on the playlist?
Possibly the only class where we allow the music to become a background accompaniment. Complimenting your session will be chilled beats and soothing tunes to keep you focused on the good stuff… your body.
“Sara and Alice are very enthusiastic, diligently preparing classes, music choices, and always make you feel supported & encouraged even from your own living room! Best Pilates and Barre class I've been too, sometimes a killer but good way to get a sweat on!”
- Beth Hermaszewska, 2020
