Primary Pilates

Andrea Doherty, the organiser, would like to extend a warm welcome to the sports community. Primary Pilates, based in Chelmsford, provides specialised training in STOTT PILATES (Reformer and Matwork) and personal training consultations. Andrea, a qualified STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor and a level 4 Qualified Personal Trainer, is dedicated to supporting individuals in improving posture, muscle tone, balance, and joint mobility, whilst also easing stress and tension.

The STOTT PILATES method, a modern take on Joseph Pilates' original exercise regime, focuses on restoring the spine's natural curves and re-balancing the muscles around joints. This approach prioritises pelvic and scapular stabilisation, integrating the entire body into each movement.

At Primary Pilates, bespoke personal training sessions are available, catered to clients' specific objectives, be it weight loss, enhanced fitness, strength training, or recovery post-injury or illness. The programmes are designed to be progressive and varied, ensuring clients remain engaged and motivated.

Private 1–1 sessions can be booked at the Chelmsford studio for 30, 45, or 60 minutes, personalised to individual goals through Matwork and/or Reformer Pilates. For new clients, there is a special introductory package of three 60-minute sessions, which includes a comprehensive intro to Pilates and guidance on the basic principles. A Postural Analysis and Assessment session is also available for those new to Pilates or seeking clarity on their exercise routine.

STOTT PILATES is widely recognised for its safety and effectiveness, incorporating contemporary exercise science and rehabilitation principles to increase mobility and strength for lasting improvements. The technique is adaptable to various body types and fitness levels, fitting well with both sports-specific training and daily life.
