Classical Pilates for Reigate Residents

Reigate is roughly five miles east of the studio, a fifteen minute run along the A25 through Betchworth, or a slightly prettier one over Reigate Heath and down into the village. Either way it is a short, uncomplicated journey that does not eat into the evening.

A lot of Reigate is commuter-shaped. The station puts London within forty minutes, and that means a large number of local clients spend their weeks sitting: on a train, at a desk, then on a train again. The pattern shows up in the body in fairly predictable ways, tight hip flexors, a stiff upper back, and a lower back that has quietly taken on work the core should be doing. Classical mat Pilates addresses exactly that, and it does it in the original order, so the deep stabilising work comes before the load, not after it.

There is no shortage of fitness in Reigate itself. What tends to bring people out to Brockham is the size of the class and the fidelity of the method. Sessions stay small, the sequence stays classical, and nobody is left working through a movement their body is not yet ready for.

For those who prefer not to share a room at all, private and semi private sessions run from the same studio, which suits clients coming back from injury or working around a specific complaint.
