- Improve your mood
- Weight loss
- Strengthen muscles
- Improved sleep
- Support your joints
- Improved breathing
- Slow down mental decline
- Lower Alzheimer’s risk
- Do more for longer periods
It’s always a good idea to change up your exercise routine, even in lockdown. Combining Semprose Pilates classes via zoom, walking outdoors and whatever other kinds of exercise you enjoy will bring versatility into your routine, keep your body and mind active and you may even like listening to podcasts or educational information whilst walking to stimulate your mind even further!
Hopefully once lockdown restrictions ease, we can reintroduce Pilates classes in the park and get everyone together outdoors! We also can’t wait for our brand-new studio in Gregory Hills to be complete and ready to run Pilates classes once lockdown is over! It’s so convenient to have Pilates near me and we look forward to bringing a variety of new classes to the timetable at The Hub in Gregory Hills. As our local community area continues to expand and develop, we are thrilled to offer two studio locations that is not only convenient, but such a great way to bring our growing community together.
As lockdown continues, it’s so important to stay active, not just for physical health but also for your mental and emotional wellbeing. Try to set yourself goals each week and remember to get adequate rest in between. We will get through these tough times together and cannot wait to see you all doing reformer Pilates in the studio soon.
