Fitness Pilates
A functional approach to the more traditional Pilates. It still applies the main principles of Joseph Pilates but involves more functional movement for everyday life.
Fitness Pilates will improve overall body strength with the main emphasis on back and core muscles. It will help improve posture, create good habits, mobilise your joints and increase flexibility. Fitness Pilates is not remedial or therapeutic.
Mondays (7.00-7.45pm) at Highbury Infants School.
Tuesdays (10.30am-11.15am) at St John’s Community Centre with Ruth.
Wednesdays (10.30am-11.15am and 11.30am-12.15pm) at St John’s Community Centre.

Circuits
Circuit training is a fun fast paced class where we perform an exercise for around 45 seconds to a minute before moving onto the next exercise. There are around 6 to 8 stations (exercises) positioned around the hall and the instructor will time each station and then move everyone on at the same time.
We alternate aerobic stations such as skipping & high knee’s with strength exercises such as squats and bicep curls for strength and body conditioning.
Once you have completed all exercises then we may start the “Circuit” again depending on the class format.
There are low and hi-impact options for each station which makes it a great class for most abilities.
Our class is 45 minutes long and includes a warm up and cool down with stretches. There are one or two “Mat” based exercises that we’ll all do together in a group so that we can ensure you are exercising safely and with good but challenging technique.
Wednesdays (7.00pm -7.45pm and 8.00pm-8.45pm) at Highbury Infant School with Claire.
Thursdays (9.15pm-10pm) at Walsworth Community Centre with Claire.

Strength & Flex
Strength & Flex is a 45-minute session which mobilises & activates, strengthens and stretches the main muscle groups in your body. We also include exercises to challenge balance and co-ordination as well as focusing on your overall posture.
It is suitable for both men and women.
We will use resistance bands, hand weights and the small Pilates ball to enhance some of the exercises and each session ends with a fantastic stretch routine to get those muscles lengthened and to leave you feeling relaxed and a little taller!
Mondays (10.30am-11.15am) at St. John’s Community Centre with Claire.
Thursdays (12.30am-1.15pm) at St. John’s Community Centre with Claire.
