PILATES
Throughout our lives our bodies change and adapt according to our activity levels and lifestyle. From a young age children are taught to ‘sit still’ whether they are at school or at home.
Parents and teachers often praise their children when they are sitting still as they relate it to good behaviour. Before we know it we are sitting still in an office in front of the computer, eight hours a day.
Our bodies are no longer needed to perform the activities they once were required to do so it’s no wonder that our muscles tighten and we lose mobility.
Pilates focuses on core strength and stabilisation. It is a great way to help undo the damages caused over the years.
Practising good movement will naturally help improve posture, mobility, and prevent or improve injuries by strengthening muscles, increasing flexibility and develop range of movement.

KETTLEBELLS
Often described as 'the gym with a handle', the kettlebell is an amazingly versatile functional conditioning tool. In contrast to a standard dumbbell or barbell the weight is offset, which places greater emphasis on the core and stabilisers in order to control it.
Workout times are almost slashed in half when compared to standard resistance workouts because kettlebell training effectively stimulates both aerobic and anaerobic pathways together.
Regular kettlebell training can create a physique that’s symmetrically toned and firm, by quickly stripping away unwanted body fat and developing powerful/functional strength in the shoulders, chest, arms, legs, back, grip and core.
When comparing a typical kettlebell workout to a standard gym session, more calories are burned in half the time and it is considered by many fitness professionals as the ultimate tool for all-round 'shape changing' fitness.
We were the very first group to bring kettlebell training to West Cumbria and have many years experience in providing a safe, challenging and enjoyable group training experience.
