Welcome to Stratford Pilates Centre
About Us
At Stratford Pilates Centre®, we offer Pilates, a controlled and specific form of exercise that targets muscles with precision, giving you a leaner, stronger, more flexible body and a calmer, more relaxed mind. It improves posture and restores natural movement patterns. It is suitable for men and women of any age and any level of fitness, from athletes to the over 80's, and is generally considered one of the safest forms of exercise today because it places minimum stress on the joints.
At Stratford Pilates Centre, you will find professional Instructors, dedicated to teaching Pilates in two unique and relaxed settings. We pride ourselves on being a Centre of Excellence, using only fully qualified (REPs Level 3) Pilates Teachers to teach our Matwork Classes.
Stratford Pilates Centre offers Pilates in group sessions, known as Matwork classes. We provide beginner through to advanced (classical) Pilates Matwork Classes most weekdays, at Movers and Shapers, 10 Union Street, in Stratford town centre.
Pilates is also taught privately at our "Limes Avenue Studio" off the Evesham Road in Stratford-upon-Avon, a dedicated and specialized Full Equipment Studio for individual Matwork and / or equipment instruction. Private tuition is tailored to individual needs whether for rehabilitation or general fitness.
