Pilates Wimbledon
Why Pilates?
We offer mat based pilates classes, 1:1 and 2:1 sessions with two expert teachers here at Mint Wellbeing in Wimbledon. These whole body, dynamic strength sessions will leave you feeling connected to your core and challenged.
Our classes are a great mix of being fun, inclusive and relaxing. Whether you are a novice or advanced we can tailor the class right to your level.
Pilates is great for anyone looking to strengthen, recover from an injury or looking to take some time out for themselves during the week. It is about using whole body movements to target specific muscle groups, to re-balance and strengthen the body’s muscular and structural systems.
We currently have two mat based Pilates during the week:
- Tuesday 7pm – 8pm
- Friday 1pm – 2pm
The Benefits of Pilates
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that improves strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. It focuses on core engagement, making it highly effective for strengthening the abdominal muscles, lower back, and pelvic region. This helps improve posture, balance, and reduces the risk of back pain and injuries.
Pilates also enhances flexibility and joint mobility. The controlled movements promote better body coordination and muscle endurance, which can aid athletes and fitness enthusiasts in improving performance.
Additionally, Pilates supports mental wellbeing by encouraging mindfulness, relaxation, and stress reduction. The focus on breathing techniques helps calm the nervous system and enhance concentration.
Whether your goal is injury rehabilitation, fitness improvement, or overall wellness, Pilates offers a holistic approach to maintaining a strong, flexible, and balanced body.
What to Expect in the Mint Wellbeing Pilates Class
Our Mat based Pilates classes provide a welcoming and supportive environment for men and women of all abilities. We will provide you with mats and all other necessary equipment including resistance bands, pilates balls, hoops, dumbbells and blocks. Please bring a water bottle and we advise wearing socks.
Each session begins with a gentle warm-up to activate the core muscles and improve body awareness. Classes focus on controlled movements, breathwork, and proper alignment. You can expect a full-body workout that enhances flexibility, improves posture and strengthens the deep and superficial muscles that support your body.
Our experienced instructors guide you through each movement, ensuring proper technique to maximise benefits and prevent injury. We hope that you learn from classes, allowing you to apply principles to your everyday life.
By the end of class, you’ll feel energised yet relaxed. The Mint Wellbeing Pilates classes offer a balanced and effective workout to build strength, increase flexibility, or reduce stress.
