Pilates Classes

"Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Through Pilates you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities."

Joseph Pilates

Our Pilates classes can be attended face-to-face at the clinic or live online via Zoom

There is a maximum of 12 students in each Pilates class. This allows ongoing supervision of all participants. Your Physiotherapist will modify different exercises for you individually as required, and progression to the next level of Pilates only occurs when you are ready.
Classes run in blocks of 12 weeks. This allows a programme to be set for each individual block of classes, with the sessions prepared and progressed as appropriate for the class members.

Booking Is Essential

Matwork Beginners Pilates Classes:

These classes are designed for those who are new to Pilates, or have had a lengthy break from the discipline. They are also very suitable if you have long standing back or neck pain, if you are recovering post-injury or if you have recently given birth.

Matwork Intermediate Pilates Classes:

These classes are run at an intermediate level of Pilates for those who have practised Pilates previously or have progressed through the beginner level at ‘Pilates Clinic Retford’ courses.

Matwork Advanced Pilates Classes:

These classes are designed for members who have progressed through our intermediate level classes and have sufficient strength, endurance and technique to manage 55 minutes of advanced level Pilates.

Standing Pilates Classes:

Ideal for joint replacements, osteoporosis, hip strength, balance & posture. Great alternative if getting on or off the floor is an issue.

Please note: Standing Pilates is currently only available in private sessions. We have filmed several standing classes and can share these with you for free after your assessment.

Seated Pilates Classes:

Seated Pilates includes all the same principles and benefits of standard Pilates classes, but are ideal if getting on and off the floor is an issue. Suitable for all, including wheelchair users*.

Please note: Seated Pilates is currently only available in private sessions. We have filmed several seated classes and can share these with you for free after your assessment.

Neuro Rehab Pilates Classes:

These classes are designed specifically for people with Neurological conditions and include a warm-up and cool-down in sitting and 10 circuits of different Pilates exercises. Sitting and standing options are given so no one feels excluded and so each member can work to their full potential. Suitable for all with a Neurological condition, including wheelchair users*.

*Our toilet has been modified to accommodate wheelchair users, however we do not have a hoist on site.

"Love the atmosphere, friendliness and social side as much as the classes themselves. Well done Jo and team, this has changed how much I can do every day!"
