Pilates is known for creating long, strong and lean muscles. Whilst it’s not a cardiovascular workout in the same sense as a spin class or a 20-minute run, it’s fantastic for improving muscle tone and restoring muscle balance. This creates a posture that helps you look and feel extremely fit. 

Our clients often report that Pilates was the key to them achieving the shape they’ve been working towards for years. Not only this, there are also adaptations that can increase the number of calories burnt.

Winsor Pilates, for example, was started by a dancer who studied under a first-generation teacher. This style shares many aspects of Classical Pilates. However, it differs in its focus on maintaining continuous movement, which increases the cardiovascular benefits and number of calories burnt.

Here at Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness we have several Cardio Pilates classes, each week for those wanting to focus on losing weight as a goal.

If you need further advice on what style and routine of Pilates best suits your lifestyle and goals, please call the clinic or use the form below and one of our team will get back to you shortly.

Combined with positive changes to your diet, you should start seeing benefits in just a few sessions. This is the result of targeting and strengthening muscles that have often been left untrained for long periods of time. This is why so many of our clients are so surprised by how such a controlled workout may leave their muscles feeling so tired and sore the next day.

To continue seeing improvements and advancements in your Pilates practice, it is important that your instructor vary the movements used from week to week.

By offering dozens of different small group classes each week led by exceptionally talented and experienced instructors, we are able to perfectly guide you upon the path to continually improving your Pilates practice.

The team of instructors are overseen by an extremely well-respected and experienced women’s health specialist physiotherapist. Although the classes are by no means exclusively for women, this added level of experience and expertise can be of huge benefit to any ladies suffering from certain conditions where Pilates is known to help manage, improve and remove symptoms, especially for anyone interested in completing 1:1 or 1:2 classes.

At Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness, we have a number of different Pilates Classes in Sheffield each week. From Cardio and Power Pilates, to Barre and Improver Matwork Pilates.

We are able to provide for all different types of abilities, situations and objectives. Importantly, our highly experienced instructors always make sure to incorporate different principles of Pilates and yoga into the classes each week, making sure to keep the sessions up-to-date, varied and highly effective.

Whilst both Pilates and yoga share the same objective (improving strength, balance, flexibility, posture and breathing), the delivery of movement is different. 

Yoga focuses on static poses to gradually improve flexibility. Whereas, Pilates practices an almost constant flow of movement to relax any tense muscles, which in return strengthens muscles around the body. 

Additionally, Pilates incorporates equipment, such as: resistance bands, a magic circle and matwork. Whereas yoga does not require the use of any equipment.

There is no minimum level of fitness required. Complete beginners are always more than welcome. 

However, we would recommend an initial assessment with a physiotherapist if you have any particular needs or concerns before undertaking any exercise. Alternatively, please speak to us first about any reservations you might have so we can place you in the most appropriate Pilates class. At Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness, we can easily tailor the exercises to start at a level most suited to you.

It is recommended that you wear clothes that are comfortable, easy to move in, but not too baggy. Socks are optional.

All mats and small equipment (balls, bands, etc.) will be provided for you in our stunning Pilates studio in Sheffield, along with plenty of water if needed.
