Pilates Perfection, located in Leatherhead, is a dedicated Pilates studio offering a comprehensive approach to body, mind, and spirit coordination. Founded in 2001, the studio's owner and qualified Body Control Pilates teacher is deeply passionate about the practise and continues to be inspired by the Pilates Method developed by Joseph Pilates in 1926.
The studio offers a range of classes designed to cater to different levels and needs. In addition to traditional mat sessions, Pilates Perfection also offers a specialised class for clients with Parkinson's, which focuses on stretching, strengthening, and improving the mind-body connexion.
Classes are held throughout the week at various times to accommodate different schedules. In West Horsley, classes include intermediate and gentle sessions on Monday mornings, intermediate and advanced sessions on Tuesday mornings and evenings, and intermediate sessions on Wednesday evenings. Additionally, Pilates Perfection runs a Parkinson's class in West Clandon on Wednesdays. Thursday offers intermediate and U3A classes, and Friday mornings are dedicated to advanced sessions.
The studio is conveniently located near Cranmore School and Squires Garden Centre, making it easy to grab a coffee after a class.
Pilates Perfection welcomes individuals of all levels and ages to their one-on-one classes and group sessions. Each client's first session is evaluated to determine the most suitable class for their ability. The studio's clientele includes the elderly, individuals seeking to improve their overall fitness and posture, professional athletes looking to enhance performance, performers, those suffering from chronic back pain or RSI, first-time exercisers, individuals seeking to prevent or treat osteoporosis, and those with stress-related, eating, or weight disorders. Separate classes are also available for people with Parkinson's.
The Pilates method followed at Pilates Perfection, known as Body Control Pilates, focuses on strengthening core postural muscles and aligning the body. It is a safe and effective exercise programme that avoids muscle and ligament damage often associated with other fitness regimes. The method is holistic in nature and is based on a well-constructed philosophical foundation. It centres around eight principles, including relaxation, concentration, coordination, centring, alignment, breathing, stamina, and flowing movements.
