Pilates class at Richmond Hill Health Club
Our Pilates classes at Richmond Hill Health Club are designed to help you build strength and improve flexibility. Located in the heart of Richmond town centre, our health club has been part of the community for over 40 years, offering a space where you can focus on your well-being and develop your practice.
Exercises are performed standing, seated, and lying down, with a focus on alignment and posterior-lateral breathing. Each posture engages different muscle groups, improves flexibility, and strengthens the core, while controlled breathing enhances body awareness and promotes relaxation. For members not based in Richmond, Richmond Hill Health Club is just a 10-minute walk from Richmond Station, with a car park available for members.
What is Pilates?
Named after Joseph Pilates in the 20th Century, pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on the mind and body. As the core principles of pilates have evolved, it has become a favoured low-impact method of exercise. The movements that make up a typical pilates session include standing, seated, and lying-down exercises. There is particular emphasis on alignment and posterior lateral breathing. By combining physical routines with intentional breathing, you stimulate calming and stress-relieving effects. These results are why many are drawn to pilates’ strengthening and mindful results.
