💪 LET’S GET PHYSICAL!! 💪

Having noticed so many 1980’s selfie transformations trending on Facebook lately I just had to create one of my own for fun😄🐾

I remember exercising in the 80’s 🤸🏽‍♀️

Leg warmers ✔️
Leotards ✔️❤️
High-impact aerobics ✔️
Lots of bouncing, jumping and “feel the burn!” 🔥

Fast forward to today…

We know so much more about how our bodies move especially as we get older.

It’s not just about sweating and working as hard as possible.

It’s about strength, balance, flexibility, mobility, posture, core control and moving well. ❤️

That’s where Pilates Fit comes in.

My classes combine traditional Pilates foundations with stretching, strength work, balance, barre-inspired movements and weights all with controlled, precise movement and plenty of modifications.

You don’t have to be super fit, flexible or “good at exercise” to join in.

Come and try Pilates Fit for yourself.

⚖️ THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCE — AND HOW PILATES CAN HELP

Balance is something we often take for granted, until we lose it! 😄

In Pilates Fit we practice on our balance in every class.

We did a balance exercise in class this week, it was a balance that I often included in class years ago but not so much recently.

I found it difficult and as the instructor I should have been setting a better example 🤦🏼‍♀️❌

I remember a funny story from my early childhood . I remembered the time I decided that having a walk in the revolving tunnel with my new white ankle strap sandals ( they were flat ) would be fun and all the children in the tunnel made it look so easy so I joined in.
At first I kept up the rhythm but then lost my balance and could not recover, my poor sandals had slipped off my feet, ankle straps dangling around my feet. I was by now on my knees being thrown around like washing in a machine !! Bumping into the other children causing them to lose their balance too !!
I will never forget that humiliation, parents and children watching in hysterical laughter as my parents had to rescue me from that tumbled mess of bodies.

It got me thinking about balance and how important it actually is to practice. As we get older, maintaining good balance becomes increasingly important. It helps us move with confidence, improves coordination and stability, and can make everyday activities feel easier and safer.

And balance isn’t just about standing on one leg! It relies on core strength, posture, mobility, concentration and the ability of your muscles and joints to work together.

🧘‍♀️ This is where Pilates can help!

Pilates works on many of the foundations of good balance:

✨ Strengthens your core helping to create a stable centre.
✨ Improves posture and alignment, so your body can move more efficiently.
✨ Builds stability particularly around the hips, pelvis and shoulders.
✨ Improves coordination teaching your body to work as a connected whole.
✨ Develops body awareness helping you become more aware of where your body is in space.
✨ Improves mobility and flexibility because balance isn’t just about strength; you also need to be able to move.

And the best part? You don’t need to be naturally good at balance to benefit from Pilates.

We can start where you are and gradually challenge your body as your strength, control and confidence improve. 💚

The Pilates Debate
Reformer Pilates vs Mat Pilates, which is better? 🤔

There’s a lot of love for Reformer Pilates at the moment and rightly so. The equipment can add resistance, support and a whole new dimension to your workout.

But here’s something worth remembering.

You don’t need a reformer to do great Pilates. ❤️

Mat Pilates uses your own body weight, control, balance and resistance to challenge you from head to toe.

✨ No expensive equipment
✨ No need to book a specialist studio
✨ Just you, your mat and a good Pilates workout!

I have tried both and of course I am going to be biased towards mat pilates as this is what I have spent the last ten years teaching.
In my Pilates Fit mat class I have also added small equipment and light hand and ankle weights to help build strength, improve posture, mobility, balance and core control.

The beauty of mat Pilates is that you can take what you learn anywhere.

At home. On holiday. In the garden.

Your body is your equipment. 🙌

So, Reformer or Mat?

There’s no wrong answer but if you want Pilates that is effective, accessible and something you can continue for life, matwork is pretty hard to beat. 💚

How do you want to age?

None of us can stop the ageing process.

But we can influence how we move through it.

Pilates isn’t about trying to look 20 forever.

It’s about giving yourself the best chance of staying:

✅ Strong enough to carry the shopping.
✅ Flexible enough to tie your shoes with ease.
✅ Mobile enough to get down to the floor… and back up again.
✅ Balanced enough to reduce the risk of falls.
✅ Confident enough to keep doing the things you love.

At Pilates Fit, I teach people from 16 years old right through to 65+, and every class is adapted so everyone can work at their own level.

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be fit.
You don’t need experience.

You just need to start.

Every class combines Pilates with elements of stretching, barre, yoga-inspired movement and strength work to help you build a body that supports you for years to come.

Your future self will thank you. 💚

This week we all went Swimming….💦💦

One of the biggest compliments I receive isn’t from someone who has never tried Pilates.

It’s from someone who already has and can now move through exercises like Swimming 💦 with control, strength and confidence.

This week’s video features Fay demonstrating the Swimming exercise beautifully. She came to Pilates Fit with previous Pilates experience and was already fit and active. Today, she chooses to come to two classes every week.

Here’s why…

💚 “The classes are not your average Pilates… they have an enjoyable twist to them which makes them unique, which also contributes to me being able to sleep better.”

💚 “I leave every class feeling more positive, happy, confident and energised.”

💚 “Michelle is a fabulous teacher… every exercise is explained and adapted for all abilities while ensuring the correct technique is used.”

That means the world to me.🤗💓

At Pilates Fit, we don’t just work through a list of exercises. Every class combines the principles of Pilates with stretching, barre-inspired movement, yoga and strength work using bands, balls and optional weights. It keeps every session fresh, challenging and enjoyable while helping you build strength, improve mobility and move with greater confidence.

Whether you’re new to Pilates or you’ve practised for years, there’s always another level to discover.

As you watch Fay in this video, remember she didn’t get there overnight. Like everyone else, she started with the basics, built her technique and progressed over time. That’s what Pilates is all about consistent practice, not perfection.

💚 I’d love to help you do the same.

☀️ It takes more than hot weather to stop this Pilates Fit community!

When temperatures soar, it would be easy to stay at home…

But once again, this amazing group turned up, rolled out their mats, and put in the work. 💚

We adapted the class to suit the heat, slowed the pace where needed, focused on control, mobility and quality of movement and everyone left feeling stronger than when they arrived.

That’s the secret to progress.

It’s not about waiting for perfect conditions.
It’s about showing up consistently.

Every class you attend is an investment in your strength, your mobility, your flexibility and how well you’ll move in the years ahead.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the heat this week. Your dedication never goes unnoticed. 👏

💚Pilates Is For Every Body💚

I always get asked is your pilates fit class suitable for beginners??
My answer will always be YES as no two bodies move the same and every exercise can be modified to get you moving even as a complete beginner.

I always advise every body to listen to their own body. I encourage and support my class to learn to move well, safely, and confidently at their own level.

Every exercise can be adapted and modified to suit individual ability, experience, strength, mobility, or injury history.

That means whether you are:
⭐️ a complete beginner
⭐️ returning after a break
⭐️ rebuilding strength
⭐️ wanting more challenge
⭐️ or simply looking to move and feel better

There is always an option suitable for YOU.

At Pilates Fit, you will never feel left behind or out of place.
You will be encouraged to work at your own pace while gradually building:

💚strength
💚mobility
💚balance
💚confidence
💚body awareness

Progress in Pilates is not about performing every exercise perfectly straight away.
It is about staying consistent, commitment to regular practice and being patient developing strength over time.

Come and discover how good movement can make you feel.

💚 More Than Just a Pilates Class

This week I bumped into two of my lovely Pilates Fit class members in the supermarket.

As we stood chatting away, I realised that the Pilates classes I started at the end of last year had become so much more than just exercise classes. They had created real friendships and, perhaps even more importantly, a wonderful sense of community.

It’s funny how meeting together every week, moving our bodies, chatting and sharing a laugh (we don’t have music in class!) can bring people of all ages together.

We all have a love of Pilates in common and a shared desire to improve and maintain our fitness, flexibility, mobility and strength as we get older.

After we’d been chatting for quite some time, one of my class members turned as she walked away and said:

✨ “It’s a really lovely community to be part of.” ✨

Those words stayed with me.

I left feeling happy, grateful and with a real sense of belonging.

If you’d like to discover the benefits of Pilates and become part of our friendly, supportive community, I’d love to welcome you to class.
