Pure Pilates: Level – General / Improvers
Pure Pilates classes are 55 minutes of contemporary mat based Pilates workouts that focus on developing core strength, flexibility and strengthening of the stabiliser muscles. The exercises are inspired by the original Pilates method, broken down into individual sets, allowing the participant to fully engage and understand the movements and master the techniques.
A mindful approach to the practice is advised to get the most from the session, with a backdrop of calming ambient music helping the participant to focus on their body and coordination of the movements & breath. This class is aimed at a general / improvers level, yet it is ‘beginner friendly’, as modifications and alternative options can be prescribed to individuals with specific needs.

EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING
The most basic equipment you will need for a Promise Pilates class is a Pilates mat, small towel and a drink of water. Wear comfortable clothing that is not bulky, such as leggings and a slim fitting top that won’t ‘ride up’ during movement. Layers are best too, as your temperature may fluctuate. Your clothing needs to have enough stretch in it to move without restriction, so make sure trousers &/or shorts have elastane in them. Pilates is done with bare feet, or if you prefer to wear socks make sure they are specific for Pilates and have tacky soles to create grip.
Other equipment used in class are a – Pilates block, strap, band & ball. Small hand or ankle weights can be incorporated and extra padding is down to personal preference. Each participant will need their own equipment kit to fully engage with the classes, so a small investment is worth making.
Basic packs and individual equipment items are available for purchase through Promise Pilates. See full equipment price list by clicking the link below
