Pilates is known for its ability to strengthen the body evenly, particularly focusing on core strength to improve overall fitness and wellbeing. Regular Pilates sessions can help clients tone up, stay fit, and reduce the risk of injury from everyday movements. By joining a taster session, individuals can experience the benefits of Pilates firsthand before enrolling in the full course.

Kate, who has been in the Health and Fitness Industry for over 20 years, has a background in teaching various fitness classes and has a Sport and Exercise Science Degree. Having joined Holmes Place (currently Virgin Active) early in her career, Kate has gained expertise in Body Pump, Body Balance, RPM, and now specialises in Pilates, Body Pump, and Body Balance. With classes held in local sport centres in Beckenham, Bromley, and West Wickham, Kate aims to bring the benefits of Pilates to the community.

Pilates, a form of exercise that focuses on lengthening and strengthening muscles, offers a range of benefits such as improved flexibility, muscle imbalances, posture, coordination, and breathing technique. Many Pilates exercises are designed to strengthen the core muscles, including the abdominal and lower back muscles, pelvic floor, hips, and gluteal muscles. By strengthening these muscles, individuals can develop a stable core and reduce pressure on the lower back and joints, effectively minimising the risk of injury. Additionally, Pilates can help realign the spine and improve posture, alleviating back pain caused by poor posture.

One of the unique offerings at Kate Summers Pilates is Chair Pilates, a seated workout that is perfect for seniors, beginners, or individuals with back, knee, or medical conditions that make getting up and down from the floor uncomfortable. This class focuses on improving posture, core strength, and flexibility while providing a fantastic workout experience.

To attend a class at Kate Summers Pilates, individuals can choose from a range of classes, including Mixed Ability Pilates, Chair Pilates, Gentle Pilates for Back Care, Mobility, and Stretch. The classes are available at convenient times throughout the week at two venues, Christ Church Beckenham and St. Johns Church Eden Park. For those who prefer virtual classes, sessions are also offered via Zoom.

The pricing options at Kate Summers Pilates are designed to suit different preferences and budgets. Clients can opt for taster sessions, drop-in classes, or decide from various class passes offering greater value for money. The studio is easily accessible, with parking available at the venues.
