Pilates at The Shed

Description

Come and join my functional Pilates every Tuesday at The Shed in Chidham. My classes are not about perfection, its about working with your body to get the best out of your muscles and teaching you to move well for real life. Whether you’re chasing a personal best on the bike, tracking down a padel ball, or simply want to get through your day without aches and niggles, this class builds the strength, control, and mobility to back it up.

Course Details

• Duration: 50 minutes per session

• Dates: Tuesdays starting 6th October (running term time only)

• Format: 6-week progressive course

• Level: Suitable for all levels (modifications and progressions provided)

What makes it “functional”?

Every exercise is chosen with a purpose: to improve how your body moves as a whole, not just how it looks in isolation. Drawing on biomechanics and corrective exercise principles, each session targets the muscles and movement patterns that keep you resilient — strong hips, a stable core, a mobile spine, and joints that can handle load without complaint.

This isn’t Pilates for Pilates’ sake. It’s Pilates with a purpose: fewer injuries, better posture, and more capacity for the activities you actually love.

Who it’s for

• Sports players and athletes — cyclists, padel players, and weekend warriors who want to stay on the pitch, court, or saddle for longer
• Anyone managing niggles or imbalances — from sciatic tension to pelvic floor concerns, sessions are adaptable to what your body needs
• Women wanting to train smarter — with a focus on strength, bone health, and long-term resilience, not just flexibility
• Beginners and experienced movers alike — every exercise can be scaled up or down

What you’ll get

• A blend of classical Pilates principles and functional, real-world movement
• Coaching from an instructor with over a decade in the fitness industry, trained in biomechanics, TRX, and corrective exercise
• Classes online or in-person around Chichester, West Sussex — fit it around your life
• A stronger, more resilient body built for whatever you ask of it

You will need your own Pilates mat (ideally 10mm thick) and dumbells if you wish to use weight.
