Nicky demonstrating a Pilates side plank on a mat

Not your average pilates class.

Nicky runs structured terms, 4 to 7 weeks at a time, with every session building on the last, so you see real progression, class by class. Combining strengthening with relaxation, Pilates eases the load on your spine and joints by correcting muscular imbalances and easing tension, making it a gentle way to build activity for anyone managing poor mobility, aches, or injury, while still challenging those who are already fit. It’s suitable for all ages and abilities, and it’s never too late to start. Join Nicky for Pilates in Hereford.

FAQ’s
Not at all; it’s genuinely one of the best times to start. Pilates builds strength, balance and mobility gently, without high impact on joints. Every class is adaptable to your level, so you’re never expected to keep up with anyone else in the room.
No. Nicky’s classes are structured to build gradually over each term, so beginners start with the fundamentals and progress at a pace that suits them. You don’t need any prior experience, just a willingness to show up.
Yes, Pilates is widely recommended for back pain, as it strengthens the core and improves posture and spinal support. If you have a specific condition or injury, mention it before your first class and Nicky will adapt the movements where needed.
Comfortable, fitted clothing you can move freely in works best, think leggings or joggers and a fitted top. Bare feet or grip socks are ideal. Loose clothing can get in the way during floor-based exercises.
Both can help, but Pilates is often favoured for arthritis as it focuses on controlled, low-impact movements that build strength around the joints without over-stretching them. Get in touch and Nicky will talk through what’s best for your specific needs before you join.
Yes, like any form of exercise, your body needs time to recover. Most people find one to two sessions a week ideal alongside rest days, giving your muscles time to rebuild and adapt between classes.
