About
Emilates Pilates, situated in Colchester, is the go-to destination for athletes looking to enhance their physical health through Pilates. Run by Emilie, a certified APPI Matwork Pilates instructor, the studio offers both group classes and one-to-one sessions, providing athletes with a focused and empowering approach to fitness.
Emilie’s journey with Pilates began 15 years ago as a remedy for her own recurring back issues. She found that Pilates not only strengthened her body but also sharpened her mind. This led her to become certified through the APPI Institute, a Physiotherapy-led method that hones core strength and control, benefiting daily activities and athletic performance alike.
Emilie is passionate about sharing her expertise and offers a variety of certifications, including Ante and Post Natal Pilates, and specialised training for breast cancer recovery and youth fitness. She ensures a safe training environment, being DBS checked, and brings a wealth of knowledge to every session.
At Emilates Pilates, the class schedule is designed to fit various needs. Classes are held at the Church Hall on Abbots Road and cater to all ability levels, with specific sessions for those over 60. Group sizes are kept small to ensure personalised attention, making it ideal for improving technique and achieving fitness goals.
For a more tailored approach, Emilates Pilates offers one-to-one sessions. These private sessions are perfect for athletes aiming to boost their confidence and zero in on specific fitness targets. The initial session includes a thorough review of client needs, covering the five key elements of Pilates and a postural assessment, setting the stage for either continued private training or transition into group classes.
Emilates Pilates values convenience, offering flexible pricing options like pay-as-you-go and block payments, with adjustments for mid-block joiners. Note the cancellation policy: appointments cancelled without 24 hours' notice incur the full fee.
To get started, new clients need to complete a registration form, available via the studio's website. Emilates Pilates is committed to providing a supportive atmosphere for those eager to improve through Pilates. Whether joining a group class or opting for bespoke sessions, athletes can expect a personalised training experience. Booking and inquiries can be made through the contact information available on the website.
