PERSONAL TRAINING

We all know exercise is good for you. It can actually help you feel good and look good too. Personal training has certain benefits you cannot gain alone:

• The motivation to reach set goals, whether its weight loss or event training
• An individual programme to your needs and health issues
• The convenience of staying in your own home and not being tied down to gym memberships
• The safety of a personal trainer who can monitor and push you or slow you down when needed

Getting the right amount of exercise can rev up your energy levels and even improve your mind!

• People who exercise burn more calories than those who don't
• Exercise helps people loose weight and can lower the risk of some diseases
• Exercise can help prevent the effects of ageing

A combination of aerobic, strength and flexibility training will gain maximum results.

PILATES

Pilates is an exercise method designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body. Pilates can be beneficial for just about everyone, regardless of age and fitness level. Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and G.Ps recommend Pilates as one of the safest form of exercise today.

Pilates has been successful worldwide. With continuing huge demand for the Pilates technique the population has changed from highly conditioned dancers and athletes to everyday people. Whether it's personal training or group fitness classes, there is a programme to suit you

SPORTS MASSAGE

A constant build up of tension in the muscle from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons as well as on the muscles themselves.

Massage applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo - skeletal system. Recieved regularly, this may help prevent injuries which may otherwise be caused by over use.

POSTNATAL EXERCISE

There are several reasons why it is good to start exercise soon after you have had a baby:

• Help regain your pre-baby figure and weight
• Help boost your mood by increasing the levels of feel good chemicals in your brain (such as endorphins)
• Protect you from aches and pains and give you more energy
• Improve physical strength and stamina, making caring for your new baby easier
• Research also shows that regular exercise after the birth of your baby can help alleviate the symptoms of postnatal depression.
