The Grange Pilates Studio

During the First World War, Joe Pilates began inventing pieces of large apparatus to do his exercises on – this has become Studio Pilates. It adds a new dimension to matwork as the ‘machines’ facilitate your muscle range-of-movement (stretch), build muscle and improve your proprioception.

Exercising and learning in the studio gives you the benefit of the equipment, provides more variety of exercises; it also brings you the benefit of our very experienced individual tuition.

Don’t be daunted by the machines; I know they may look slightly on the torturous side; they are wonderful!

The Grange Private Studio, Marchmont,  is a small (perhaps ‘bijou’ is a better word) and fully equipped studios with Balanced Body Pilates apparatus shipped from California. Us studio teachers do also teach private matwork and offer online privates sessions too.

Private Pilates & Yoga Mat Classes

This is a great way of learning Pilates faster and very accurately. It is useful if you attend a matclass but feel you would like individual help with exercises you find difficult; if you would like to build a home programme of exercise, for those can’t make regular matclasses or those with injuries or conditions which mean they need more attention than a group matclass provides. You can come for a one-off session to work on something specific or have a regular weekly appointment.  Gill Bertram is both a Pilates and Yoga teacher and can teach either or both simultaneously. She is offering in-person sessions at Blue Morpho 36A Broughton Street, and can also teach you online.
