HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
Why HIIT?
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is an intense workout combining core strength, power, endurance and cardiovascular effort. HIIT classes are short but intense so you can easily fit them around your busy schedule.
Is HIIT for me?
HIIT is a great workout for you if you are used to exercising at moderate levels, and are injury free. If you are looking to step your exercise up a gear the HIIT is perfect.
What can I expect?
Expect this class to be hot and sweaty! Your instructor will combine intervals of high intensity with core work you may recognise from your Pilates class. It will be varied, fast and fun! But it will be over before you know it!
What do I need to bring?
We will provide all equipment, but you will need to wear trainers. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

Barre
Why Barre?
We have adapted traditional Barre workouts to design our very own Pilates Plus concept. The Physio-Led Barre classes combine principles from our Pilates classes with ballet and yoga foundations to bring you a class which will make you feel like you have really worked out! If you want to add some cardio to your Pilates routine, then Barre is for you!
Is Barre for me?
Pilates Plus Barre can be modified for everyone, but is not recommended for those with a recent injury. You should have a reasonable standard of fitness.
What can I expect?
Barre is dance based so you can expect some up beat moves! As its name suggests, much of the class is at the Barre or chair, and you will work your heart and lungs. Barre is a full body workout.
What should I bring?
You will require a mat and a small equipment pack – purchase online here. Your instructor will have spares for your first session. Dress as you would for a Pilates class. Bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated!

Outdoor Fitness Pilates
Why Outdoor Fitness Pilates?
Fitness Pilates is more of a functional approach to Pilates. We will still use the main key principles of Pilates but a lot more of the work may be in standing using functional movement patterns. We will work on increasing your overall body strength, conditioning and core using the concepts from Pilates, Barre, Yoga and Interval training programmes and cardio work. We plan to do this in all weathers, and reap the benefits that outdoor exercise brings!! It will be an invigorating start to your day!
Is the Outdoor Fitness Pilates class for me?
Outdoor Fitness is a great workout for you if you are used to exercising at moderate levels, and are injury-free. If you are looking to step your exercise up a gear and love exercising outdoors then this class is for you – challenging but fun!
What can I expect?
Expect this class to be a tough workout! Your instructor will combine intervals of high intensity with core work you may recognise from your Pilates class. It will be varied, fast and fun! But it will be over before you know it!
What do I need to bring?
We will provide all equipment, but you will need to wear outdoor shoes and clothing for all weather. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
