ABOUT US
Cockermouth Pilates Studio opened in September 2008 as a dedicated space for practicing the Pilates method of Body Conditioning.
The Pilates method involves performing exercises that will develop whole body strength, mobility and flexibility in order to improve posture.
Poor posture is caused by muscle imbalances; this can lead to pain and loss of function.
Practicing the appropriate exercises will help to restore balance and function so reducing pain.
The Studio has a waiting area and 2 group exercise areas. The Upstairs Studio can accommodate larger groups of up to 17.
The Reformer Room on the ground floor houses our 2 Pilates reformers and can be used for small group teaching of up to 4 people.
