If getting up and down from the floor feels uncomfortable or even impossible, my brand-new Seated Fitness Pilates class at Knapton Village Hall could be just what you need. Running every Tuesday morning at 10.30 am, this class is designed to give you all the benefits of Pilates—improved core strength, posture, mobility, and balance—without needing to get onto the floor.
Why Seated Pilates?
Many people face challenges with mobility, whether due to knee, hip, wrist, or shoulder issues, or simply feeling uneasy about floor-based exercise. Seated Fitness Pilates allows you to experience a safe, effective workout in a chair, making it suitable for:
Older adults looking to maintain independence and prevent falls
Anyone recovering from injury or with reduced mobility
Post-menopausal women who want to look after their bone health and joint strength
People who prefer a gentle but effective exercise option that supports long-term wellbeing
The Link Between Core Strength & Balance
Did you know your core muscles are the foundation of your balance? A strong core helps you move with confidence, improves stability, and reduces your risk of trips and falls. Balance and core strength go hand in hand—and they become increasingly important as we age.
In the UK, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in people over 65, with around 1 in 3 adults over 65 experiencing at least one fall each year. Even more striking, falls account for over 5,000 deaths annually in England and Wales. By improving core strength, mobility, and balance, you can dramatically reduce your risk.
Why I’m Passionate About This Class
With 36 years of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve worked with thousands of people of all ages, abilities, and needs. As a post-menopausal woman myself, I truly understand how important it is to protect our bones, strengthen muscles, and maintain confidence in movement.
This class brings together everything I believe in: safe, supportive, and effective exercise for real people at every stage of life.
What to Expect
In each 45-minute session, you’ll enjoy:✅ Gentle but powerful seated Pilates movements✅ Focus on core activation and posture✅ Balance exercises to reduce fall risk✅ Mobility stretches to ease stiff joints✅ A welcoming, friendly environment where everyone is supported
