Reformer pilates · The reformer is the most commonly used piece of pilates equipment. Through use of a series of pulleys, resistance springs and a moveable carriage pilates exercises can be made more or less challenging for the individual. · These sessions also include the use of free-weights to help add a circuit training element to your workout. The 55 minute long session will simply speed by as you burn calories and build core strength. The emphasis is on light-weight and high reps to strengthen, tighten and tone your entire body. · This is a workout that will challenge you and get quick results – your hips, legs, bum and arms will feel and look great and your flexibility enhanced. · At Activate Pilates group sessions (maximum 6 people) or one-to-one sessions are available. · If you would like to arrange a specific class for you and some friends, just ask and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Sports Massage Therapy
· Sports massage is not just for sportspeople; anyone can benefit, including people in physically demanding jobs. The benefits include:
§ Relieving muscle tightness and tension and thus help prevent injuries by maintaining and improving flexibility.
