Every day I walk from Blackheath Village through Greenwich Park
to my Pilates studio in East Greenwich. I especially enjoy these
walks in the morning when the park is quiet except for the occasional
group doing intensive, heavy-impact running or circuit sessions.
I'd always thought how nice it would be to exercise outside but
having had two serious knee operations this kind of intensive
exercise is not for me.
So I decided to set up my own classes (and now personal training
sessions) in the park to allow you to practice Pilates, get fit
for spring, summer & autumn, increase your cardiovascular
fitness levels and tone your tummy all while enjoying the beautiful
surroundings of Greenwich Park. So if you, like me, would like
to practice Pilates and improve your fitness levels while enjoying
some fresh air and natural beauty then these group
classes or one-to-one sessions are for
you. Information is below.
GROUP CLASSES
Location: The Little Pilates Studio in East Greenwich
on Lassell Street (very close to Maze Hill station). We will then
walk briskly over to Greenwich Park to the area in the lower Park
behind the fenced off playground.
Format: the sessions will begin with a short Pilates matwork
warm up in the Pilates studio. If it is not raining than we will
walk briskly over to Greenwich Park combining quick walking with
strength and toning exercise using weights, resistance bands and
other small pieces of equipment. We will then finish with a Pilates
stretching and relaxation session back in the studio.
Dates: the classes will run in 4 week courses starting
in May 2010. Each class lasts 75 minutes.
Summer Course 2: Weds, 8am July 7 - 28th 2010
Summer Course 3: Fridays, 9:45am August 6- 27th 2010
