STRONG BODIES
Build Strength For Life
Strong Bodies is a supportive strength and movement class designed specifically for individuals who want to stay strong, steady, mobile and confident as they move through life.
This isn’t about keeping up, pushing harder or doing complicated exercises. It’s about building the kind of strength that matters — getting up and down with ease, improving balance, supporting healthy joints and bones, and continuing to do the things you love.
Using the reformer and other simple equipment as tools, each class combines functional strength, stability, mobility and balance in a welcoming, social environment.
No Pilates experience is needed.
WHAT IS STRONG BODIES?
Strong Bodies is not a traditional Pilates class.
Instead, we use the reformer as a supportive piece of equipment alongside functional exercises designed to help you build real-world strength.
Classes focus on:
Full-body strength
Balance and stability
Bone-loading exercise
Mobility and joint health
Coordination and confidence
Maintaining independence as we age
Everything can be adapted to suit your individual ability, so you can work at a level that feels appropriate for you.
WHY STRENGTH MATTERS
As we get older, maintaining muscle strength, balance and mobility becomes increasingly important.
Regular resistance and weight-bearing exercise can support everyday movement, balance, bone health and our ability to remain active and independent.
Strong Bodies gives you a structured way to continue challenging your body — with an instructor there to guide you every step of the way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Classes are friendly, supportive and easy to follow.
Your instructor will guide you through a combination of standing exercises, reformer-based movements and functional strength work, with options available throughout the class.
You’ll follow the same core program for six weeks, allowing you time to become familiar with the movements, build confidence in your technique and gradually improve your strength, balance and control. Repeating the program also makes it easier to notice your progress as exercises begin to feel stronger, steadier and more achievable over time.
Expect to work hard enough to feel stronger, without feeling intimidated or out of place.
And perhaps just as importantly, expect a welcoming group of people to move alongside.

PRICING & BOOK
Strong Bodies is available as a six-class pack, ideally used to follow a full six-week program. Attending each week gives you time to become familiar with the exercises, build confidence and notice your progress.
We can reserve your place in the same class each week and, if you’d like, set your pack to renew automatically so you can keep attending without booking each class yourself. Get in touch and we’ll organise it for you.
You can also book Strong Bodies using an eligible membership or class pack, especially if you’d like to attend more than once a week or enjoy other classes too.
