Where can I do Pilates mat and studio equipment work with Gill in Oxford?
Flexible, customised & convenient teaching in variety of locations in Oxford
Choose from a Pilates studio, a Pilates room at home or a mat class
The studio location
The studio locations provide a special Pilates environment with the option of using large apparatus such as Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair and Ladder Barrell. as well as smaller equipment.
Pilates equipment is different from that which you find in a gym; it helps you strenghten the body in a structured, supportive yet challenging way.

The pilates room at home may offer you more convenience, will help optimise work on the mat including the use of smaller pilates equipment such as balls, bands, fitness circle and roller. In terms of larger apparatus, a Stability Chair and Pilates Springboard are also available to add challenge, provide support and add variety.The Springboard enables similar exercises to be included as when using a Cadiallac.
Group and individual mat classes are also offered, making use of small props where available and as appropriate.
.
What is the purpose of the apparatus and equipment?
The use of equipment can either increase resistance, providing additional challenge or provide assitance to support you in aligning and moving your body. The equipment can also enhance your understanding of movement integration and function.
In a mat class, its your body working against gravity which provides the biggest challenge. Where more support is required according to your condition, the use of equipment may be desirable.
