Pilates Liverpool

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Greetings,

 

This could probably have gone in the ailments or getting old thread, however, back home for a few weeks this weekend for 1st time in 3 years, and need to understand the local standing on pilates.

Had a quick scan on DuckDuckGo for somewhere to go for a few sessions to keep my balance and co-ordination in check and prevent getting too fat on Sayers sausage rolls. Any recommendations city centre or southside?

I used to be in the Navy if that helps.

Why are Pilates called Pilates? Oh, sorry, never mind. 

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Ah good to see all you closeted lads still feared to get down with the women in the gym.

too busy watching the wrestling eh?

 

good to see the place hasn’t changed  much.

Planet Yoga on Smithdown may be of help.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Cheers Skidz.

How does Pilates differ from Aerobics classes or Yoga?

More balance stuff than aerobics, more strength than yoga. Good all rounder for a wobbly auld bastard with shot knees and the coordination of a beached whale.

Aerobics classes are generally fitness based.

 

Pilates is similar to Yoga but with more movement as opposed to holding stretches.

A fucked up body deteriorates quicker on the couch, as does a fucked up brain. Exercise is muy importante in my case. I even have a letter off my Doc to say so.

You have to be very careful of the classes you attend as there are some complete chancers out there that will do more harm than good. The ones run by physios are the best, usually called Clinical Pilates.

Good to see that razor sharp wit still in full effect. Is there a things that remind why I don’t post so much on the forum thread?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Puregym Aintree has pilates classes so if there's one by you then they might

All on-line.
