Bringing Pilates Reformer to Stoke-on-Trent
At Precision One, we have brought together the principles of Pilates and our core values of personal training to bring you the city’s first group Reformer Pilates class.
A fundamental value of our personal training brand is to personalise the exercise experience and be attentive in our coaching: to be in-keeping with our standards, our Reformer classes are kept intentionally small (maximum of 6:1 ratio of member/coach) to allow for more personal support and guidance. Group training, in the context of Reformer Pilates, provides a fantastic environment for attendees to gain and harness new skills and progress their own exercise goals.
Pilates is a low impact exercise method that balances strength with mobility; aligns the body; fine tunes movement patterns; and strengthens the deeper muscles of the core.
Key Principles of Pilates
You will be lead through a one-hour class that will build strength and stamina from the inside, add mobility to stiff joints and challenge your perception of what strength is. Whether you are new to exercise or looking for something to complement your current strength programme, our group class is the perfect addition to your weekly schedule.
