Try Mat Pilates at our purpose-built studio
About Pilates
Pilates is a mind-body intervention that focuses on strength, core stability, flexibility, muscle control, posture and breathing. Our classes are suitable for beginners all the way through to advanced level. We also offer these classes in our hot studio if this interests you.
Pilates classes focus on proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. At Ironstone we currently offer a mat based pilates practice. These sessions may involve no equipment at all, but it can depending on the instructor also include additional equipment such as stretch bands and mini gym balls. Your goal throughout the session should be to take your time to complete the exercise in a slow and controlled manner and focus on the breath.
Our purpose built studios in Kettering are the perfect place to escape, to relax and unwind, challenge yourself and support your mental and physical well-being. Why not join us at the Ironstone Wellbeing Centre for a session of Pilates in Kettering.
Benefits of Pilates
Why practice Pilates with us?
Pilates will help you strengthen and stabilise your core so that you can move efficiently while improving your posture, flexibility, and mobility.
Improves flexibility
Flexibility levels will not improve as much in Pilates in comparison to regular Yoga practice, but after regular practice you will notice an increase in range of motion.
Improves posture
Good posture and alignment is a result of a strong core. Regular practice can improve posture. For this exact reason it is said to help people who suffer with back pain.
Strengthens your body
Although the sessions focus on the core strength it is in fact a whole-body workout. It is also very popular for those needed to rehab.
Helps balance and coordination
Pilates strengthens stabilising muscles and improves body control, helping you move with better balance, coordination and confidence.
