Core Strength – Flexibility – Control

Joseph Pilates developed a comprehensive method of stretching and strengthening exercises that together aim to create a strong and limber body as well as a strong will of mind that can control the body.   They are: 

Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath and Flow.

Pilates at Newport has been in operation for nine years and the owner of the Studio, Gloria Scott has a Dip.of Professional Pilates Practice and a Dip. of Sports Therapies plus a full membership of Pilates Alliance Australasia and is one of twenty-two registered Pilates Alliance Studios in Australia.

Studio classes on Pilates equipment are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday morning from 7.30am until 11.30am and afternoon sessions commence at 2.30pm until 8.30pm.  Each client has their individual work out depending on their level of fitness, flexibility and strength.  Some of the conditions we can help you with are Pre & Post Pregnancy, Scoliosis, Whip Lash, Core Strength, Parkinson’s, Osteoporosis and Arthritis.

Mat classes are executed with small equipment such as the Magic Circle, Foam Rollers, arm and leg weights, theraband and fitness balls.  If you wish to be proficient at Pilates Mat classes it is important to be in a class with only 6-8 students as each exercise is usually 10 repetitions which then allows the teacher  time to correct clients.
