Imagine a scene from Come Dancing with couples waltzing and fox-trotting across the ballroom. This is the classic way to dance but modern variations such as Latin - American and Salsa encompass these same principles, but add a more dynamic and enjoyable element to proceedings. So what’s that got to do with pilates, I hear you cry! Read on…

STOTT PILATES is the contemporary way to practise the pilates exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates over 70 years ago. It is due to organisations like STOTT PILATES that this fantastic method of body conditioning has been made more readily accessible to a much wider audience, rather than just elite sports people and the wealthy, as more instructors are trained and more studios open.

STOTT PILATES, a subsidiary of Merrithew Corporation, is the only full-service organisation of its kind. STOTT PILATES provides pilates education, equipment, DVDs and accessories worldwide.

What are the benefits of STOTT PILATES and why should you only consider this type of pilates instead of the other forms available? That's easy!!!!

• STOTT PILATES is a contemporary, fun way to look after your mind and body.
• All instructors trained at one of the STOTT PILATES high standard certification centres and learned everything from the original founders of STOTT PILATES.
• STOTT PILATES equipment is of the highest quality and provides varied and interesting workouts, so you don’t get bored just doing a mat workout!
• STOTT PILATES have a wide range of DVDs for all abilities so you can workout at home when not in the studio.

The Active Pilates Studio is fully equipped with the complete range of STOTT PILATES equipment to provide all users with the highest quality and most versatile machines and accessories. At first glance the equipment can seem intimidating, but after the first use it becomes a fun part of the class that everyone looks forward to.

There are numerous pieces of apparatus that can be used:

Professional Reformers

The core piece of pilates equipment on which you lie and perform both leg and arm extension exercises to add an element of motion into your class. Resistance can be increased/decreased to suit each individual so that everyone is working within their own limits.

Rehab Reformers

Higher off the ground than the Professional Reformer to accommodate those with mobility limitations.

Group SPX Reformers

Group SPX reformers are designed for personal trainers who require a more mobile reformer with removable parts for easy storage and can be stacked and moved to the side of the studio.

Cadillac Trapeze Table

Has an extensive range of applications that makes it ideal for rehabilitation and sports training or for private one-to-one sessions.

Split-Pedal Stability Chair and Ladder Barrel

Two pieces of equipment that are key components in a fully equipped studio and are designed for core conditioning, stretching and the re-balancing of muscles. They can be adjusted to suit different heights for ultimate comfort for the user.
