Pilates, carefully and thoroughly taught, is suitable for virtually everyone. It can lead to an enhanced sense of well being which, when we consider how hectic our lives are, can be of great value to us. Nottinghamshire based Pilatesactive runs classes that merge the principles of Pilates and fitness training to offer an interesting and challenging blend of personalised exercise. We focus on improving core strength, developing an awareness of good posture, improving range of movement and flexibility as well as having fun!

People often think Pilates is slow paced but having learnt the basic techniques the exercises can be made very active. But increasing heart rate and sweating is not for everyone, so Pilatesactive sessions aim to develop a level of Pilates suitable for each individual. We work safely with both fit clients and those with, for example, low back pain, postural imbalances and sports injuries, encouraging everyone to work in their own comfortable range. Pilates exercises develop concentration, co-ordination and body awareness and in doing so unite the body and mind. Pilates is definitely not an easy exercise option but is a very satisfying and beneficial one that takes time and commitment to master.

Instruction is provided at all levels  - beginner, intermediate and advanced on mats and with other equipment, as appropriate. Classes of up to five can be held at home, at work or at your sports venue. Private tuition and group classes are held at Radcliffe Chiropractic clinic.

about Lindsay Stiles

Lindsay is a Pilates specialist, fitness instructor and exercise referral consultant based in Nottinghamshire. As a practising professional she is a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals at level 3 and holds full insurance. Eleven years ago an interest in health and fitness led Lindsay to change the direction of her working life, to study and re-train, initially as a gymnasium and fitness professional then subsequently as a sports massage therapist (1997), pilates instructor (2000-01), exercise referral programme consultant (2003), and a nutrition and weight management advisor (2004). She has gained a specialist obesity qualification in exercise referral (2006).

Lindsay set up Pilatesactive in 2005 operating from her own studio in Norfolk. In doing this she was able to draw on all her experience - both in the health and fitness arena and also that gained during a successful 17 year career in retail merchandising/management. She moved to Nottingham towards the end of 2006 and is continuing to develop her successful business in this new location. Her most recent initiative is a new and exciting opportunity to work in partnership with the team at Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic, Nottinghamshire.

Establishing Pilatesactive, had been Lindsay’s vision for some time. Merging the principles of Pilates and fitness training to offer a blend of exercise suitable for all. Pilates, carefully and thoroughly taught, is suitable for virtually everyone. It can lead to an enhanced sense of well being which, when we consider how hectic our lives are, can be of great value to us.
