Fiona Brown Realistic Pilates Expert

If you are feeling stiff, achy and generally sluggish when moving then you will certainly benefit from Realistic Pilates. These classes are perfectly suited to you regardless of your age, fitness level or body type. There are dozens of classes out in the world that appeal to the young, slim and 'fit'. My classes tend to attract women age 50+ though not exclusively. You will also benefit if you have any of the following:

Back problems - upper or lower back
Stiff neck/shoulders - difficulty reaching high objects or fastening your bra
Lack of abdominal tone ...or the feeling that your abs 'don't work'
Hip or knee replacement - no matter how long ago
Post Natal muscle separation -Diastasis Recti
Poor posture giving the impression you are not as tall as you were when you were younger

Realistic Pilates is an accessible, dynamic and contemporary approach to Pilates Body Conditioning. Pilates is a method of body conditioning, which was developed over 80 years ago by Joseph Pilates. In my experience his classical repertoire is not suited to every one and when I first started teaching this method in the year 2000 I quickly discovered that there were not enough classes being taught at beginner level. I was so convinced there was a need for accessible beginner classes that I set about building an accredited training academy and since 2005 I have taught more than 350 fully qualified Pilates Instructors. By de-constructing the original exercises, whilst sticking to the overall principles of Pilates, I devised a way of making this extremely effective method of exercise accessible to all.
