Reformer Pilates is fundamental in improving and supporting an individual’s overall functional training, its objective is to create lean, flexible, strong muscle foundations for movements in a safe and secure way. It is a fantastic method to compliment any rehabilitation from injury and to support all sports and fitness development from a young age.

Dare to be different

We believe that having a strong core is crucial to the practice of Pilates and whilst most basic exercises develop this characteristic, our Reformer Pilates sessions help build higher levels of core stability, allowing for more advanced strength and movement.

At Silver Squirrel we believe that having a strong centre provides the body with the necessary foundation for your relationship with movement and optimal alignment. We are passionate about control and being able to manage the body when stationary and while moving, this is essential for all musculoskeletal health which is necessary for the body to be healthier in a wider sense of the term. Teaching and practising correct patterns of movement in a structured and deliberate manner is how control of the body is created and this in turn provides the required foundation for a stronger, healthier and more functional you.

Our goal and ambition at Silver Squirrel is to encourage and deliver a new way of training, one where we look at the functionality of the body and work in unison with an individual’s training methods and needs. Our unique exercise format will provide individuals with a method that can alter the longevity of the body’s muscular structure and support systems, whilst improving its overall performance. It will reinforce your body’s structure and enhance your appearance, transforming how you feel.

At the heart of our exercise sessions is the basic principles of Pilates, we look to integrate as many different exercise and fitness disciplines in order to build a more effective and efficient approach to training. The sessions compliment all sports and fitness training whilst minimising the risk of injury, they enhance posture, strength, stamina and flexibility in all muscle groups to achieve the ultimate result.   

Our unique approach to Reformer teaching is to support an individual’s current training methods, helping their body to become the most efficient it can within that discipline. Our main objective is to understand individual body composition and function, focusing on strengthening stabilising muscles throughout the whole body, enabling the individual to move more effectively and to maximise whole body involvement and effort.
