THIRD Space’s latest club in Wimbledon features a new state-of-the-art Reformer Pilates studio in response to members seeking a low-impact, full-body workout for all abilities.
Partnering with Balanced Body, global provider of Pilates equipment and education with a trading history spanning more than 45 years, the new studio hosts 20 Balanced Body Allegro® 2 Reformers with Towers.
James Shaw, Pilates Master Trainer at Third Space, said: “The introduction of Reformer Pilates is another example of Third Space offering members a 360-fitness experience, enabling them to tap into more holistic, mind-body focussed training modalities to not only complement the current fitness offering in-club, but elevate it.”
The installation comes at a time when Pilates, and indeed, Reformer Pilates is seeing substantial growth, driven by the increasing focus and adoption of a more holistic approach to fitness, health and wellbeing as well as wider education regarding the many benefits of Pilates training.
“Pilates is great as a standalone workout, but it’s also amazing as a cross-training method,” James added. “It doesn’t matter who you are, or what your fitness ability is, you can benefit from incorporating Pilates training into aspects of your life. It truly embodies the Third Space motto ‘Training For Life’.”
To ensure there is a Reformer Pilates class suitable for all abilities, James has developed three different classes; Fundamental, Traditional and Dynamic Reformer Pilates. Through these, instructors are able to offer a full spectrum of frameworks.
