If you’re looking for a Pilates class in the Hull and East Yorkshire area you’ve come to the right place. We are Carol and Bob Bartram and we are both CYQ Level III Pilates Instructors. We teach a number of classes in the area and would be delighted to teach you.
People are beginning to realise the benefits practicing Pilates regularly can bring. You may have had Pilates recommended to you by your health professional, as many Physiotherapist, Osteopaths and General Practitioners recognise the health benefits of Pilates.
If you already have a back or neck problem, Pilates can help strengthen and stabilise your spine, pelvis and abdominals (core) – often helping to reduce or eliminate any pain you experience. If you don’t have a problem, doing Pilates regularly will ensure you are less likely to get one!
Because Pilates is a Mind/Body exercise system, you’ll leave class feeling fantastic. Your body will have been worked and your mind will be relaxed. Many people say they feel inches taller after a Pilates class and from our own experience we’d have to say that was right.
We both started Pilates because of various injuries. Carol had pain in her hips and back due to a crooked pelvis (caused by falling off too many horses far too often), and Bob suffered from back and neck pain due to poor posture and a wild youth spent in the Merchant Navy.
Four years later we’re both pain free and feel better than we have for a decade! Neither of us is a spring chicken (Carol’s 40 – something and the old bloke is definitely over 50), but as long as we keep doing the Pilates we know we’ll continue to feel great. In fact, Carol’s actually taken up horse-riding again! (Although I suspect it’s a rocking-horse).
That’s the promise of Pilates. Feel better, walk taller, enjoy life more. I can’t guarantee that last, but it’s much easier to enjoy life pain-free!

All the best,
