What Is Pilates?
Developed by Joseph H. Pilates (b.1880 d.1967) Pilates is a system of exercises that engages the body and mind in thoughtful, intelligent movement in order to achieve inner core strength and balance throughout the whole body.
Pilates incorporates breath and movement in a balanced flow of precise exercises designed to align and tone all the muscles throughout the body with particular focus on stabilizing the shoulder girdle, the pelvis and strengthening the core abdominal muscles.
Why Choose Pilates?
Pilates works from the inside-out, developing smaller muscles as well as the larger, more obvious muscles and strengthening the deep core muscles as well as the more external muscles. In this way, every muscle in the body is activated during each exercise aiming towards “uniform development” of the entire body.
Suitable for young and old, Pilates carries over into every aspect of your life. Regular practice creates ease in the movement and function of your body in everything you do and increases your sense of well-being.
Is Pilates Right For You?
Pilates is accessible to almost everyone. There are 500 exercises in the traditional method, with variations and modifications across all exercises. No matter what your goal is, no matter how old you are, a Pilates program can be designed specifically for you to meet your needs and goals.
Athletes and dancers practice Pilates to enhance their physical performance and to rehabilitate injuries.
Pilates is also used by people with less physically demanding jobs to correct posture, strengthen their bodies and create a sense of well being.
Pilates is very effective in the rehabilitation of injuries. The key to healing an injury after diagnosis and treatment by a physician and/or health care practitioner is to regain strength and movement as soon as possible in a stress-free environment.
Certified Pilates Instructors are trained to create programs for clients from all walks of life, to assess and deal with each client as an individual.
Pilates for rehabilitation
Pilates is very effective in the rehabilitation of injuries. The key to healing an injury after diagnosis and treatment by a physician and/or health care practitioner is to regain strength and movement as soon as possible in a stress free environment.
The Pilates equipment provides an ideal stress free environment for the rehabilitation of injuries. It provides support for the body whilst strengthening, mobilising and/or stabilising the injured area. Specific exercises are applied to injuries and pathologies of all kinds.
Here's How To Get Started...
How you start your Pilates journey makes all the difference.
Starting with a solid foundation is the key to success and that is why all of our new clients begin with a 1-on-1 Assessment.
The Assessment takes 50 minutes and throughout the session your instructor will:
Talk to you about your health & fitness goals and discuss your history of any injuries, aches, pains or ongoing conditions you may be dealing with or have dealt with in the past.
Teach you the fundamentals of Pilates and give you a brief history of the Pilates method.
Assess your posture and alignment to identify any imbalances and weaknesses.
Advise you which sessions would benefit you most moving forward to help you achieve your goals.
Once you have finished your assessment and have the next best steps from your instructor,
we have a range of memberships and packs to get you moving.
We can’t wait to meet you and help you reach your goals!

Testimonials
Rachel is not only passionate about Pilates, but also about understanding how the body can move and function. She takes pride in understanding her clients' needs, limitations and goals and has enthusiasm in helping them move better through day to day life. The way she can have multiple people within one class and yet still offer an individualised session, taking into account how everyone is feeling on that day, is inspiring. Her anatomical cueing and ability to adapt to individual needs is highly specialised and only comes about from years of experience and dedicated ongoing learning within Pilates and movement therapy.
Carlie A.
I have been a member for almost a year, best thing I ever did! The team at Stomping Ground were recommended to me and I have not looked back. When I started I had many issues, chronic back pain (since having my first child 34 years ago) which I had resigned myself to just living with, a crush foot injury and hip problems. I now no longer have any back pain, my hip problems are under control and my crush injury has improved dramatically. The team at SGS are amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, passionate and professional. I started at a point lower than beginner, if possible, but always felt respected and supported. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone and at any level of fitness or well being. First commitment I have made to my own health and wellness that I haven’t lost interest or motivation in thanks to the wonderful supportive team at SGS. Thank you!
Verity M.
My introduction to Rachel’s skills as a Pilates instructor took place in 2008 when I began taking private classes. I found her knowledge, resourcefulness, experience and creativity enormously beneficial and the efficacy of Rachel’s classes for my rehabilitation was quite astonishing!

Nikki O.
The Equipment Pilates classes here completely changed my life as in the past I had chronic shoulder pain and headaches and my life quality was low and I relied on Ibuprofen a lot. The instructor here is incredible at working with you, your body and injuries to build strength where it is needed, without flaring up pain. Could not recommend enough!
Hannah K.
Rachel has helped my mother with her balance and core strength since having a stroke. I was also diagnosed with Cancer and Rachel has been instrumental in my recovery and regaining strength. A bespoke solution at our pace and to suit our needs, we are well taken care of, genuine and authentic team.
Rachel P.
Stomping Ground Studios is the perfect small group studio with highly trained teachers. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has never tried Pilates before as well as those that are experienced. The people coming to classes are all lovely and friendly too
