PERSONAL TRAINING & REHABILITATION

EQUIPMENT

Why not join Nigel on a Private or Semi-Private session (2 to 4 people) on the Pilates equipment at Pure Body Solutions.  We offer an all-over-body workout tailored to your needs on the Cadillac, Reformer, Spine Corrector Barrel and the Baby Barrel which will not only improve muscle tone, posture and flexibility but will help with any past and future injuries you may have had.

Most people will associate Pilates as a mat class that can be done either at home or within a gym.  Originally Pilates was designed as an exercise which was practiced on the large equipment such as the Cadillac which was originally used in 1918 to rehabilitate bedridden patients recovering from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. 

Cadillac

The Cadillac resembles a four-poster bed with various poles, bars, springs and straps which hang from its frame.  It is excellent for strengthening the back and abdominal muscles as well as improving your flexibility.

Reformer

The Reformer is a less dominating piece of equipment than the Cadillac but just as effective.  The Reformer is a moving platform with springs, straps and pulleys which uses your body weight for resistance which can be increased or decreased depending on your ability.  It is used to strengthen the core muscle groups and improve flexibility.

To compliment the Cadillac and Reformer we also have the Spine Corrector Barrel and the Baby Barrel.  These are used to support the back, neck and shoulders as well as the hips and thighs during stretching exercises.

Our specialist equipment includes:

• yoga mats and blocks
• Pilates mats
• Swiss Balls
• Pilates Rings
• There is additonal specialised pilates equipment for personal training sessions.
  

Personal Training in private or semi private groups can also use more specialised pilates equipment.
