Why is weight bearing though our arms so important? 💪🏽

Weight-bearing exercises such as four-point kneeling, planks and side planks don’t just strengthen your arms, they benefit your whole body!

✨ Some of the benefits include:
• Improving bone density and bone health
• Strengthening shoulders, arms, upper back and core
• Increasing joint stability
• Enhancing posture, balance and coordination

👧 For younger people: Weight-bearing helps build bone strength and develop peak bone mass, creating a stronger foundation for the future. It can also be very beneficial for those who are more flexible or who play racket or ball sports.

👵 For older people: As we age, bone density naturally decreases, particularly after menopause in women. Incorporating safe upper-limb weight-bearing exercises into Pilates can help maintain bone density, preserve muscle strength, and improve balance and confidence, reducing the risk of falls.

Strong bones don’t just come from walking and standing—our arms need loading too. Pilates provides an excellent way to safely incorporate upper-limb weight-bearing, helping support bone health, strength, and function throughout life.

✨ Why Choose JR Pilates, a Physio-Led Pilates Class? ✨

Not all Pilates classes are the same!

As a qualified Physiotherapist, I bring a deeper understanding of movement, posture, injury prevention and rehabilitation into every session. Whether you’re looking to improve your strength, manage aches and pains, recover from an injury, or simply move better, you’ll benefit from expert guidance tailored to your individual needs.

One of the things our clients love most is our small class sizes. Unlike large gym classes, smaller numbers mean:

✔️ More individual attention and feedback
✔️ Exercises adapted to suit your ability
✔️ Closer supervision to ensure correct technique
✔️ A friendly, supportive atmosphere
✔️ Better progress and confidence in your movement

Our classes are welcoming, inclusive, and suitable for all levels, whether you’re completely new to Pilates or have been practising for years.

We currently have a few spaces available and would love to welcome some new faces to our Pilates community.

If you’ve been thinking about giving Pilates a try, now is the perfect time! Send me a message for more information or to reserve your place. You can also book a spot yourself - link is in the bio. 🧘🏼‍♀️

A little snippet of some self practice and prep for tonight’s class ✨ 🌺

We’re going to be working through scissors, overhead reach, side plank with clam, and oblique prep - each one targeting deep stability, control, and alignment.

These aren’t just “ab exercises”… they’re building the foundation for how your body moves, supports your spine, and prevents injury.

Which move do you find toughest? 💪🏽

At JR Pilates we may not have flashy equipment or a state of the art location BUT you do not need any of that to improve your strength, your control and create quality movement in a way that is safe and purposeful.

I am confident that we have built a safe space to exercise where there is no judgement, no question is silly and there are no expectations!

At each class we ensure every member is completing the exercises safely, is given feedback throughout the class and feels confident they are completing the exercise correctly which is why in the video I am not on my mat after demonstrating the exercise. This video is our whole class after the warm up… but sped up of course!

At JR Pilates we run physio-led sessions which are guided by clinical knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and injury rehabilitation. This means exercises are selected not just for fitness but to:
• Improve core strength and deep stabilising muscles
• Correct movement patterns and posture
• Reduce pain and prevent injury
• Support recovery from injury or surgery
• Improve flexibility and joint mobility
• Enhance balance and coordination
• Build long-term resilience in the body

✨ Warm up with us ✨
At the beginning of each class, we ALWAYS warm up for between 10-15 minutes. A warm-up isn’t just “getting hot”, it prepares the body and nervous system for movement. During a warm up we:
* Activate the muscles we are going to use throughout the session
* In turn this increases blood flow to the muscles and primes the nervous system
* We work through our range of movement at most joints
* Enhance coordination and movement control
* Improve performance in the session that follows
* Reduce the risk of any injury or flare up to current injury

Because our classes are led by a qualified physiotherapist, we can adapt the exercises to those with injury or illness. However, we welcome anyone of any ability as the class can be tailored to individuals and we give a variety of options throughout the class to make it easier or harder.

We have spaces at our next class which is Wednesday 4th March at 7:30pm. Please DM me to book or email me on [email protected].

P.S. This video is just over 10 minutes into 10 seconds!

A little preview of tomorrow’s physiotherapy-led Pilates class ✨

The class isn’t just about what you do in the room — it’s about giving you the tools to move better outside of it too.
We focus on understanding your body, improving technique, and learning exercises you can safely practise on your own between sessions.

Building consistency through self-practice is where real strength, confidence and long-term change happens 🤍

We love switching it up in JR Pilates classes✨

Heres a little snippet from something a little different in our physio-led pilates class this week 🤍
We brought out the Pilates balls and took the work into standing focus in on balance, ankle stability, pelvic control and functional strength! Standing work is just as effective… and I’m sure your glutes definitely agreed 🔥

Our next class is Wednesday 11th February - don’t forget to book your spot to avoid disappointment due to limited availability 📞
