Running Prep with Tim 👇

This one looks simple, but there’s a lot going on. Running Prep is an amazing Reformer exercise and it feels good and it works so much more than it lets on.

**Hips.** It opens up mobility through the hip so you can move efficiently through the joint. When the hips move well, everything above and below has to work less hard — stiff hips ask other areas to compensate, and that’s often where pain and niggling injuries creep in.

**Core.** It asks your core to stay switched on and controlled throughout — the kind of real, responsive strength that shows up in everyday movement. Lifting, carrying, getting up off the floor.

**Feet and ankles.** This is where Running Prep really earns its name. It challenges the feet and ankles to work through a proper range, and that pays off all the way up the chain — because weakness down here often shows itself higher up as lower back or SI joint pain.

So while it might not look like much from the outside, it’s doing a serious amount of good. 💜

Save this one and give it a go next time you’re in.

Sciatica doesn’t mean sitting it out 🌿

While the rest of the class worked through shoulder bridge, Suzie was getting pain each time she lifted high — so Tim stepped in one-to-one.

Instead of pushing through, he had her focus on gentle mobility work to ease the discomfort and keep the area moving without the flare-up.

This is what a group class looks like at Nu You when someone needs something different. You’re never just a body on a reformer keeping up with everyone else — Tim and the team are watching, adapting, and offering alternatives in real time so you can keep moving *safely*, not just keep going.

Sciatica, a niggling knee, a stiff lower back — whatever you bring into the studio, we work with it, not around it.

👉 Come and feel the difference of being properly looked after.

*We always recommend seeking medical advice for sciatica to diagnose the underlying cause.*

There’s a myth that summer movement has to mean sweating it out, pushing harder, burning more. It doesn’t. This is an hour that works with your body, not against it — movement that calms as it strengthens, whatever the weather’s doing outside.

No pounding. No overheating. Just controlled, intentional work that leaves you feeling better than when you walked in.

If the heat’s been putting you off, come and feel the difference for yourself. Our free Intro to Reformer Masterclass is the easiest way to start — link in bio. ☀️

“Train up your husband,” my business coach said. I laughed and said no. 🤣

Not because I doubted Tim — because I’d built this from 50 members in a village hall, one class at a time, and handing any of it over felt like letting go of something I’d fought hard for.

Ten years on, we run Nu You Pilates together. 250 members. A studio in Hertford. And the therapeutic side of what we do — the spinal work, the recoveries, the “my consultant couldn’t believe the difference” stories — a lot of that is Tim.

We never set out to build a business together. We just kept saying yes to the next person who needed help, and somewhere in there we built it side by side.

The thing I was most reluctant to do turned out to be the thing that grew us both. 💜

The Pain Free Project

That constant tightness around your hips? It’s rarely the hip itself.

When your mid-back (thoracic spine) doesn’t rotate well, the movement has to come from somewhere — and the hips take the load. Add in deep stabilisers that aren’t switching on, and the surface muscles start gripping to hold you steady. That gripping is what you feel as tightness and soreness.

Which is why stretching gives you twenty minutes of relief and then it’s back.

The lasting shift comes from two things working together: restoring rotation through the thoracic spine, so the hips stop compensating, and building stability in the hips, so they can hold you without clenching.

That’s the work we do on the reformer — controlled, supported, and specific to what your body is actually asking for.

Movement that works with your body, not against it.

Send this to someone you love. You don’t have to find the words — we already did. 💜

So many of our members tell us the hardest part isn’t the aching body or the broken sleep. It’s feeling like nobody at home quite understands. If that’s you, this one’s yours to share 💜
