Full Flow Fitness - Pilates and - About

Cardiff, working in various gyms and fitness centres, honing my expertise in Pilates, resistance training, and nutrition coaching.

In 2012, I decided to establish Full Flow Fitness – Pilates and Personal Training, Cardiff, with the vision of providing a holistic approach to health and wellness. At Full Flow Fitness, we believe that everyone deserves to be happy and healthy, regardless of their weight or appearance. Our focus is on injury rehabilitation through movement and nutrition, and we offer a personalised approach to help you achieve your goals.

Our services are based on the principles of Pilates, as developed by Joseph Pilates. These principles include breath, concentration, centering, control, precision, and flow. By incorporating these principles into our classes and personal training sessions, we help you move better, get stronger, improve your health, and live pain-free.

Pilates is a key component of our approach, as it helps address muscle imbalances that can cause pain and injury. Whether it's back pain from poor posture or weakened muscles, Pilates exercises strengthen the core and promote an even musculature throughout the body. This helps maintain spinal and pelvic alignment, alleviating pain and improving overall function.

Resistance training is another fundamental part of our services. Professionally trained and certified, we offer resistance training to increase muscle strength and tone, which can protect your joints from injury. Research has shown that resistance training can also improve weight management, mobility, flexibility, stamina, balance, bone density, sleep patterns, self-confidence, and overall well-being. It can even help with specific conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, back pain, osteoporosis, blood pressure issues, and depression.

At Full Flow Fitness, we understand that loving your body goes beyond just physical appearance. That's why we offer nutrition coaching to help you nourish your body from the inside out. Eating a balanced, nutritious diet has numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, stronger bones and teeth, higher energy levels, better brain health, and weight control. We believe that a healthy balanced diet doesn't mean starving yourself, but instead involves consuming a variety of lean proteins, carbs, and fats.

Our founder, Mark Chatterton, has a strong background in health and fitness. Graduating from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff with a degree in Leisure and Sport management, Mark went on to gain qualifications in Personal Training and became a Master Trainer in corrective exercise with exercise management for Low back pain. With years of experience in the fitness industry, Mark has honed his expertise in Pilates, resistance training, and nutrition coaching.
