What The Papers Say: 'The thing about Pilates is that it works'
'Two years ago I first walked into Pilates Central in Islington. It suited me – a bad-back sufferer – because it was barely used and I could drop in at short notice and be guaranteed a berth to do my exercises.
Now the studio is packed, often with more men than women. What unites us is that we are all there for medical reasons - from bad backs to whiplash injuries - with vanity being a lower priority.
The thing about Pilates is that it works. But it costs £30 a throw. Like my studio mates, I'm saving the health service a fortune, so if [the Health Secretary] wants to reverse her unpopularity, she could do worse than offer free Pilates on the NHS.'
Charlotte Ross, The Evening Standard

What Makes Us Special?
 Our teachers are top of their profession
They have had exceptional training and experience.
Our Pilates is custom-made - not one-size-fits-all
We assess you as an individual and then design a bespoke programme to meet your precise needs. You then follow your own programme under the supervision of our teachers. Beginners get almost individual attention from teachers.
Our Pilates helps clients with medical needs
Pilates may have become something fashionable
but most of our clients come to us for medical
reasons - because of bad backs, necks, shoulders, joints or other physical problems.

Pilates Can Really Change Your Body
Pilates is a uniquely intelligent and precise form of exercise and body-conditioning.
The benefits of Pilates include...
 - A stronger, healthier back
- A more toned and mobile body
- A flatter stomach
- Looser, suppler, more flexible joints
- A leaner, longer look
- Better posture
- A sense of calm, fitness and well-being
It is more dynamic than yoga but less aggressive, competitive and high-impact than aerobics, jogging or gym-work, which, unlike Pilates, can place damaging strain on the joints and heart.
