Fitness Pilates
Fitness Pilates utilises specialised Dance Medicine Australia (DMA) Pilates equipment including clinical reformers, thoracic barrel, Pilates fitball and wobble board. Fitness Pilates classes are instructed by our university-trained Exercise Physiologists (EP’s). Attendance to fitness Pilates classes assumes attendees are healthy people, without medical conditions limiting exercise participation, of all fitness levels. Our equipment is state of the art variable resistance Pilates equipment which is why our programs are suitable for people of all fitness and strength levels.
Benefits of Fitness Pilates
The benefits of our fitness Pilates classes are achieved through the performance of specific Pilates movements focusing on strengthening and lengthening the muscles at the same time to produce long, lean muscles with improved strength and tone. Just some of the benefits of fitness Pilates include:
- Increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttock (the “core muscles” of your body).
- Improved posture – stand taller & sit straighter
- Improved stabilisation of your spine
- Overall body slimming and muscle toning (not bulking)
- Relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back
- Improved stress management, body awareness, concentration
How is it different to Clinical Physiotherapy?
Fitness Pilates
Participants do not have medical conditions or pain conditions that limit participation in a general exercise class.
Each class participant completes the same set of exercises, varying the resistance and repetitions according to their strength and fitness level.
Participants aim to achieve the benefits listed in the abovementioned section.
Clinical Physiotherapy
Clinical Physiotherapy (formerly Clinical Pilates) is designed to specifically help to relieve certain medical and painful conditions.
Each class participant has an individual clinical physiotherapy program which is developed and progressed by the DMA Clinical Pilates trained Physiotherapist.
Participants each have their own individual goals for participating in the class.
