Hi I’m Lisa, I’m a fully qualified and experienced Pilates instructor and Personal Trainer, who has worked within the health, fitness & wellbeing industry for 25 years.
You are in safe hands! I have worked closely with all levels of fitness and with a range of abilities. I can adapt and offer alternative exercises to ensure everyone is comfortable yet challenged in each class.
Mat Pilates
Please bring your own Mat
Suitable for all fitness levels (alternative exercises/options are offered)
Pilates is an innovative and safe system of mind-body exercise using a floor mat exercise. It evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates and can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. Pilates builds strength without excess bulk, capable of creating a sleek, toned body and strong abdomen.
It is a safe, sensible exercise system that will help you look and feel your very best. It teaches body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement. Pilates also improves strength, flexibility, agility and mobility.
By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely in tune with your body. You actually learn how to control its movement.
Venue for Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates classes are held at St Johns The Baptist Church hall, The Hub, The Parsonage, Vicarage Lane, Knaresborough, HG5 9AE
Reformer Pilates
Please wear grippy socks
This class is aimed at Beginners – Intermediate level.
Reformer Pilates is a low impact exercise that uses a reformer machine to improve strength, flexibility and body awareness.
The Reformer is a bed-like frame with a flat platform, called the carriage, that rolls back and forth on wheels. The carriage is attached to springs, pulleys, and ropes. The springs can be adjusted to suit your fitness level.
Reformer Pilates involves a series of controlled movements that target specific muscle groups. You can perform these exercises while lying, sitting, or standing on the carriage.
The Reformer Pilates sessions are designed transform your body and mind.
You will be working on building core strength, body alignment, improving flexibility and gain the results you are looking for.
With just four reformer machines in each class you’ll receive a more personalised class (a bit like a small group pt session)
Venue for Reformer Pilates
The Reformer Pilates classes are held at BBB, Unit 2B, Dragon Court Business Park, 168-170 Skipton Road, Harrogate, HG1 4PS (Yes, you drive through the Esso garage to get to the business park).
