Starting something new can sometimes be a bit daunting. To give you an insight into what it's like to take part in one of our classes, we asked a few of our existing pilates go-ers to say a few words about their experience of practising pilates with HertsPilates.
"As a mature lady I was a bit hesitant to start something new. However the classes are good fun and I can't believe how much it has improved my flexibility and sense of well being. I would now encourage anybody to take up Pilates."
(Linda, Hemel Hempstead)
"As an ageing rugby player I have found pilates the answer to regaining and maintaining strength and flexibility. It is also great for relaxing after a hard day at work."(Matthew, St Albans)
"Going to Herts Pilates was my first experience of Pilates. I noticed changes almost immediately; increased flexibility, stronger tummy muscles and a sense of feeling relaxed. I have now been going to Herts Pilates for a year and each week I continue to notice improvements. Pilates is definitely a fantastic way at maintaining your fitness and I’d recommend doing it at Herts Pilates." (Rebecca, St Albans)
"I turned to Pilates to recover from a major operation on my spine. I'd previously tried osteopathy with little prolonged success, but have found weekly Pilates classes keep my back pain at bay. The key to my recovery has been the stretching and strengthening of the muscles supporting my back. I started out as a beginner but I've since progressed through the Improver class and now attend the weekly Intermediate class in St Albans. As well as the benefit of experiencing no back pain, I really enjoy having a regular workout. I know that without the discipline of the weekly class, I wouldn't exercise my muscles sufficiently to keep my back in good shape." (Matt, St Albans)
