PRIVATE TRAINING
If you are joining us for the first time, we have introduced the START: Private Training Package, this is our best value option to help get you started with us. It includes your Initial Appointment, where we will introduce you to the Pilates equipment & identify your specific goals. You'll then have the follow up session, to build confidence & to develop a plan together so you have a clear route to either continue your private training or join a class.
The Assessment
Whether you are looking to join a class, try out the Reformer, or start a course of private training, we will use this session to introduce you to the relevant equipment and gain as much information as possible to get you started with us. The assessment will go through a movement analysis, injury history and your current goals; from rehab, performance to general body conditioning. You will gain a better understanding of your movement patterns, posture and body awareness. We will look at how your whole body moves to ensure the programme is tailored to address your specific movement needs and you are confident to move into a class or start your private training.
The Pilates Session
The key elements of our Pilates is improving movement quality, strength through range, mobility, and aiding recovery. We aim to help you build a strong and resilient body through strengthening of the key postural muscles. We work on scapulo-thoracic stabilisation for the shoulder, lumbo-pelvic control for the lower back & hips in addition to the retraining of the deep neck flexors. The repertoire of Pilates exercises can also improve flexibility of the key trunk and lower limb muscles groups, body awareness and breath control. It is a full body conditioning exercise programme that focuses on functional movement patterns that transfer to your everyday, sporting or lifestyle needs.

About APPI Pilates
Liz is an APPI (Australian Institute of Physiotherapy & Pilates) Clinical Pilates Instructor. APPI was established 23 years ago following an initial study in the ‘Clinical Relevance of Pilates Exercise for clients with Back and Pelvic Pain’ which led to the development of the APPI Method that we teach today. A set of modified exercises were developed based on the findings of relevant clinical research around how muscles work before and after pain, this new form of Pilates-based exercise was very successful in rehab and the base of all our teaching.
