North Leeds is a Pilates studio located in Leeds, New Zealand. The studio specialises in reformer Pilates and Corealign exercises, aiming to help beginners improve their core strength, reduce back pain, and achieve a fluent and pain-free movement.
Scientific research studies have confirmed the effectiveness of reformer Pilates exercises in improving core strength, reducing back pain intensity, and enhancing the overall quality of life (1). By focusing on core strength, the stability of the torso improves, leading to a stronger, better-supported, and more flexible body. Reformer Pilates classes at Pilates North Leeds are safe, medically approved, and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Before starting any exercise programme, especially as a first-time exerciser or for those with existing health conditions, it is recommended to consult with a GP to ensure the exercise plan aligns with personal health needs and goals.
Pilates North Leeds shares the use of the Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel Pilates studio with the Leeds Pilates Centre. The studio also offers a variety of informative blog articles covering topics such as neutral and navel to spine work, work-related back pain, and osteoporosis to help clients gain a better understanding of their bodies and health.
For those interested in trying out Pilates, the studio offers a Pilates beginner programme. The programme starts with an initial assessment where past and current health issues are discussed. This assessment helps customise an exercise programme tailored to the individual's specific health needs and goals. During the assessment, participants will also learn how to locate their core and perform basic Pilates beginner exercises.
Following the assessment, participants will join a small group class consisting of approximately five members. In this class, each member will have their own personalised programme to follow at their own pace, allowing them to focus on their individual goals without feeling pressured to keep up with others. As participants progress in core strength, the exercises will gradually increase in challenge.
The reformer Pilates exercises at Pilates North Leeds are safe, pain-free, and suitable for all age groups and fitness levels. Typically, a weekly session is sufficient, but for those with multiple health problems, more frequent attendance may be recommended. However, it is always crucial to consult with a GP before starting any new exercise programme.
