Welcome to our Pilates classes in Chiswick
We currently have pupils aged between 16 to 80 all enjoying the benefits of our Pilates courses. Why not join them and find out what keeps them coming back for more.
Our classes are all mat work based at St. Michael and All Angels Church and the ArtsEd School near Turnham Green tube station. They last for 1hr 15 minutes with a maximum of 14 students per class.
We provide 3 different levels of classes which allow you to advance at your own pace and offer a choice of times and teachers at each level.
We primarily employ teachers who have been trained by the Pilates Foundation. They are all highly skilled and enthusiastic. Pupils are welcome at all levels, including those who are recovering from injuries or suffering from long term difficulties.
So whether you live in Acton, Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush or further afield you'll find one of our classes just right for you. Have a look at the instructions for using the site below, making sure you catch up with our latest news on the way.
Late Autumn Classes
Our Early Autumn Courses are now up and running with only three more weeks to go. However you can now book for our Late Autumn classes which are starting on the 3rd November and will take us through till Christmas. To make your booking follow the Instructions laid out below this box.
Monday and Wednesday Nights for Beginners
I know that I mentioned a 4 week taster session starting in November but I hadn't quite worked out that there are only 7 weeks available before Christmas once this set of classes start. So our normal Beginner's Classses will both run for 7 weeks and cost £82.00. For this you get and hour and a quarter each week and classes that are restricted to 14 pupils. So, for an intensive introduction to Pilates why not join one of these courses.
Pilates in Chiswick and on the Ball!
Starting from November our Tuesday levelTHREE class is being taken by Ana Marcela. We are going to start using Stability Balls to take the work out to another level. Read on to find out more about the benefits of working with a Ball.
"Regular Pilates practice typically leads to a stronger, leaner body while developing body awareness and having an overall de-stressing effect. Adding the challenge and variety of the ‘Swiss’, or ‘Stability’ ball can much improve your Pilates practice.
Working on the unstable surface of the Stability Ball engages the deeper abdominal muscles wrapped around the trunk horizontally, that act like a ‘corset’, supporting the body.
Pilates on the Ball is an intermediate to advanced option that engages all of your core muscles to keep balance, and increase neuromuscular connection. The exercises are gentle, progressive, and performed slowly with good postural alignment at all time."
To join this class you will need to be working at levelTWO or above, you will also need a Stability Ball and the size should be matched to your height, please look at the FAQs page for more guidance.
Tuesday Beginner's Courses – £52.50 for 5 weeks
Our Tuesday class started this week and those of you who managed to get a place were very enthusiastic about their lesson. The next course starts on the 18th November and will run for 5 weeks costing just £52.50. These classes are held at 7.30 pm on Tuesdays and run for just an hour so they're shorter than our standard lessons but will still offer you an excellent introduction to Pilates. They are held in the lovely Parish Hall at St Michael and All Angels Church. As with all our classes you will need to supply your own mat.
Best wishes,
