Pilates has numerous benefits, both physically and mentally. A Pilates class at Petts Wood Pilates is not only a workout for the body but also for the mind. It provides an opportunity to check in with oneself and relieve both physical and mental stress. The classes also improve flexibility, helping stretch out tight muscles and prevent common problems such as lower back pain.

Despite being a challenging workout, Pilates is also known for its lasting relaxation effects. Petts Wood Pilates ensures a calming atmosphere, with soft lighting and carefully chosen music, making evening classes particularly rejuvenating. The studio also focuses on alignment and precise adjustments, helping clients improve their body alignment and reduce the chances of developing conditions like osteoarthritis.

One of the well-known benefits of Pilates is its ability to strengthen core muscles, which support posture and enable ease of movement.
