Pilates
off the Square Limited
Pilates off the Square
is a long established Pilates studio ( opened in 1986 ) in the heart of
London's West End. The owners and managers, Sian Williams and Dominique
Jansen, have both been teaching for almost 20 years and have a wealth
of experience. The studio also offers one of the leading Pilates teacher
training programmes under the umbrella of the Pilates Foundation UK (PFUK).
The vast majority of our teachers have been trained in-house and are certified
members of the PFUK. The training ensures that each of our teachers is
equipped to work with all levels of fitness and has the ability and experience
to adapt the Method to remedial needs.
Every class at the
studio is taught under close supervision and geared towards the individual
client. We offer a choice of private one-to-one classes (60 minutes),
studio classes (90 minute classes with up to six clients) or Early Bird
and Lunchtime studio classes (60 minutes) for those with limited time.
Anyone can benefit
from private classes, but they are particularly helpful for those suffering
from chronic pain, recovering from injuries or requiring more focused
attention.
Pilates Matwork
is part of our studio repertoire, so there are no separate Matwork classes
at Pilates off the Square.
In addition to The
Pilates Method we also offer individual Gyrotonic tuition on the GXS
Tower Pulley system.
Our aim is to stay
close to the original Pilates repertoire and yet remain up to date with
developments in the exercise and movement industry as well as current
biomechanical research. We also work as a team in order to ensure our
clients’ continuous progress and development. Each individual
is addressed at their own level and abilities and their program is consistently
adapted accordingly.
Pilates off the
Square has an excellent reputation with leading medical professionals
and often works in conjunction with osteopaths, physiotherapists and
doctors. The Studio facilities include a complimentary therapy clinic
with established and highly experienced therapists offering a diverse
range of treatments.
