Achieve Pilates services
I teach 2 different types of Pilates classes around Coventry and Bulkington as well as providing some online sessions.
My unique approach to Pilates and how the body functions has helped hundreds of people to regain confidence in their core muscles and reduce painful movement.
Please find below a brief description of each class. For more details click the appropriate link.
Pilates for Life
This class is modified Pilates (either performed standing or seated in a chair) with NO floor work. It is suitable for anyone with Osteoporosis/penia, Osteoarthritis, Spondylosis, Spondylitis, replacement hips/knees, non-specific back or joint pain or any sort of mobility problems.
Pilates for All
Matwork Pilates suitable for ALL levels – there will be lots of options for beginners up to advanced participants. There is a mixture of standing, sitting and floor work including side lying and lying on your back and front - with adaptations always available if any of these positions are not suitable.
This is the type of class you would usually think of as a 'traditional' Pilates class.
Corporate Pilates
I offer bespoke Pilates classes suited to your work space and time available. An office-based Pilates class leaves your workforce feeling great and may help to relieve or prevent low back pain and sore shoulders caused by desk-bound work. I can also provide corporate sessions via Zoom if your workforce are currently, or usually, working from home.
Therapies
I've found Pilates has helped my members to improve their core strength, reduce joint and back pain, help manage stress and anxiety, relax and improve their posture.
Alongside my Pilates teaching, I have also studied some other methods that can help with more specific aspects of health and wellness such as better breathing to improve sleep & energy levels, pelvic floor problems and long-term injury.
Restorative Breathing and the Hypopresive Method are both amazing therapies which I have used to help deepen my Pilates knowledge and develop my own style of teaching. I can also provide these therapies on a 1-2-1 basis from my home studio.
Testimonials from my amazing members
Sarah K, Coventry
What I like about Fran’s class is that everyone is welcome. There are more challenging options for the moves, if you are feeling good, and no one judges if you are new, your mobility is restricted or you are just having a bad day. Pilates always helps after a hard day at the computer!.
Karen L, Bulkington
I have been doing Pilates with Fran at Bulkington village centre for about eighteen months now and look forward to my session every week.
She is very professional but also very friendly. Being an asthmatic I often go through periods where I’m not breathing with full capacity and she has taught me different breathing techniques which have really helped.
I find the classes very enjoyable and always feel stretched and relaxed afterwards. It has been good being able to do the online Pilates during lockdown definitely lowering any anxiety.
Keep up the good work Fran.
Myshola, Coventry
Having been a middle to long distance runner since a teenager, I have always lacked core strength. After suffering a number of muscle imbalance injuries, physio’s always advised me to do Pilates. After attending other Pilates classes I found Fran’s class a good suit for what I needed, and have now been attending her sessions for over 5 years.
Pilates challenges your body like nothing else and Fran’s sessions always have a range of different exercises from standing/balance work to mat based exercise both sitting and lying. She always offers a range of challenges, no matter what exercise, so it can allow you to work at the level you require.
Abigail M, Coventry
I've been going to Pilates with Fran for over three years now and love the classes which are friendly, relaxed and welcoming. Fran really knows her stuff and explains all the exercises carefully. I've noticed my body shape has changed over the time and it really helps me maintain flexibility and build core strength, as well as having good effects on my mood and stress levels.
