DebbieWestPilates

Debbie West Pilates is a professional Pilates studio located in Barnstaple, North Devon, and was established in 2005. The studio is run by Debbie West, a certified Pilates instructor who also incorporates Somatic Exercise into her classes. Debbie is passionate about helping her clients improve their movement and overall well-being.

At Debbie West Pilates, clients can expect high-quality Pilates tuition and personalised client care. The studio is fully equipped with Pilates reformers, which are used to facilitate functional movement, provide assistance or resistance, and challenge advanced exercisers. However, Pilates mat work is also valued, as it allows clients to continue their exercises at home. All that is needed for mat work is a folded towel or a Pilates mat.

In addition to the equipment, the studio offers a wide range of small equipment such as fit rolls, light arm weights, Pilates rings, and thera-bands, which are incorporated into the Pilates sessions. Whether it's a one-on-one session, mat class, or studio session, small equipment is used to enhance the workout.

The studio also provides a changing area for clients to comfortably prepare for their classes. Additionally, they offer retreats for those who are looking to immerse themselves in a Pilates-focused vacation experience.

Debbie West's class schedule includes a variety of options to suit different preferences and needs. There are Pilates reformer classes, Pilates mat classes, and speciality classes such as Over 60s Pilates and Gentle Somatics. The studio also offers one-on-one appointments, which can be scheduled on mutually suitable days. Debbie encourages clients to keep an eye out for upcoming workshops to further expand their Pilates knowledge and skills.

Class payment is done in monthly blocks, and an initial consultation is required for those wishing to join a mat class to ensure suitability and determine the client's level. Classes have a maximum of 12 participants per teacher to ensure personalised attention. It's important to note that all block payments have a 6-month expiry period and sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may incur a full-price charge or be debited from a block payment.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Debbie West Pilates now offers online classes through Zoom, providing clients with the option of learning and practising Pilates from the comfort of their own homes. Online classes can be tailored to individual needs, including personalised somatics classes and gait analysis.
