About ARIA

THE STUDIO

Aria Pilates (formerly The Pilates Workshop) was established by qualified Pilates instructor and Registered Osteopath, Claire Hewitt in 2013. Claire’s passion is to create personalised programmes for each client, designed to not only strengthen and stretch muscles to improve posture, fitness but to also provide rehabilitation.

Claire has created a warm, relaxed atmosphere which welcomes those at all levels, whether you’re just starting Pilates or you require being challenged by more advanced techniques.

At Aria Pilates, we believe pilates is best delivered as a complete method of exercise, working on all the pilates equipment, not just the reformer. We programme with a graded exercise approach, where the exercises get progressively more difficult as you get stronger and your mind body connection improves.

THE ART OF PILATES

Pilates uses a combination of around 50 repetitive exercises to create muscle exertion. Each exercise is typically repeated and because it’s low impact, can be tailored to a range of fitness goals, ages and abilities.

Pilates is continuously evolving, but the core of the technique is tied to the movement patterns designed by Joseph Pilates. Pilates can be performed on both a mat or on specialised equipment which often incorporates spring-based resistance machines known as reformers, which consists of a box-like frame, sliding platform, springs, straps/ropes, and pulleys that help support the spine and target different muscle groups.

LATE CANCELLATIONS
& SOCKS

It is studio policy to charge a late cancellation fee, unless 24 hours notice is given. The late cancellation fee is 100% of the class or appointment missed.

When your body warms up, it can mean sweaty feet, so for hygiene reasons please remember to bring socks to wear when you are working out.  It is especially important for when you are putting your feet in straps. We have socks on site you’re welcome to purchase.
