At Pilates Encounter, they specialise in teaching Pilates apparatus classes using unique pieces of equipment that were invented by Joseph Pilates himself in the early 1900s. These apparatus use springs to create resistance, allowing for highly targeted and effective workouts. Whether you're looking to focus on rehabilitation, cross-training, or simply improve your overall fitness, Pilates Encounter has the equipment and expertise to meet your needs.
The fully equipped Pilates studio houses a variety of apparatus, including a Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, and Wall Tower. There are also smaller items such as Magic Circles, stretchy bands, foam rollers, and small weights, which add versatility and variety to the classes.
Pilates Encounter takes pride in helping clients with a wide range of conditions and issues. They have worked with individuals dealing with occupational health imbalances, age-related conditions, arthritis, hyper-mobility, pregnancy and post-partum support, depression, anxiety, stress, pelvic floor and continence issues, joint replacement rehabilitation, back problems, neck and shoulder discomfort, foot injuries, and much more. They also offer specialised training for marathon and triathlon preparation, as well as competitive sport cross-training.
