Glowing Fitness Pilates is a Pilates studio located in Maidstone, New Zealand. The studio was founded by Vicki, a certified Pilates instructor, who is dedicated to helping clients improve their strength, flexibility, and overall health.
Pilates, originally designed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th Century, aims to strengthen the body uniformly, balance strength with flexibility, and restore a full range of movement. It is particularly beneficial for injury rehabilitation and relieving joint pain.
Unlike traditional workouts that may build short, bulky muscles prone to injury, Pilates focuses on elongating and strengthening the muscles, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility. This balanced strength and flexibility help reduce the risk of injury. In fact, Pilates has been recommended by Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, and GPs for its effectiveness in improving overall muscle groups, reducing muscular imbalance, and alleviating chronic back pain.
At Glowing Fitness Pilates, the emphasis is not on the quantity of repetitions but on the quality of exercises. The Pilates exercises are low impact, using body weight and flowing movements that are safe for everyone. Furthermore, Pilates provides stress relief and challenges individuals to reach new fitness levels without high impact or heavy weights.
Vicki, with her extensive knowledge and expertise, can assist clients with various conditions and injuries. Whether it's a group class, small group session, or one-on-one session, Vicki tailors the Pilates exercises to the individual's needs. For those with injuries or specific conditions, she designs a personalised exercise plan and progresses it as the client improves. The sessions can be performed on the floor, chair, seated, or standing, depending on the client's requirements.
Glowing Fitness Pilates offers a range of classes and workshops in the Maidstone area. Group classes provide an opportunity to build strength, improve flexibility, strengthen the core, and enhance posture. They are fun, sociable, and suitable for all levels. Additionally, there are 1:1 sessions for individuals looking for a more personalised Pilates experience.
Vicki also offers small group sessions, where individuals can share the costs and have Pilates workouts at their preferred time and location.
Aside from the regular classes, Vicki also conducts one-off workshops on topics such as improving posture and introducing men to Pilates. She has worked with special needs groups and even runs PE sessions at local primary schools, promoting better posture and strength in children.
