Face book makes it super easy for me to post videos, pictures, articles and [...]

Well after all this is my website so if I want to give myself a shameless plug then I can right?
As well as being a Pilates Instructor I’m also a Personal Trainer. Now I live in the UK so the likelihood of anyone reading this post and living near enough to me to want my [...]

Well least it is for me. Rumour has it that some people are doing Pilates naked. Yup that’s right doing Pilates with no clothes on. Now call me old-fashioned but I really don’t like the idea very much. I’ve had some bad experiences whilst people are fully clothed nevermind naked.

In my quest to bag all the “Ates” I’ve uncovered another one. Mamalates. This “Ates” is all about getting mothers into shape after having a baby. Pilates and crèche combined

It never ceases to amuse me the number of ways clients ask me about Pilates. From “Do you do Pilots classes” to “I’ve heard about Palates do you teach it”.
I get quite a number of visitors to this site who type in “Palates” so I’m not complaining I just hope they weren’t looking for information [...]
