SERVICES
Welcome to Shape Up Pilates Ltd
Our General CD range is designed to meet the demands of the total novice, or the real enthusiast, who is seeking to reinforce their Pilates sessions at home or on holiday, thereby maximising the benefits that regular Pilates exercise sessions can achieve. You can choose to learn the real basics, progress to the next level, or totally relax.
Our audio-led, easy-to-follow classes allow you to stay in correct alignment,an essential element of Pilates, whilst helping you to stay focused throughout. All of our CD’s are professionally produced to the highest standards, containing inspirational music and professional instruction throughout, by our own qualified, experienced, Advanced Pilates Practitioner.
Our Personal Pilates Programmes are available to those seeking to strengthen individual postural weaknesses that create muscle imbalances and associated problems. By filling in our health and postural assessment questionnaire, we are able to prescribe an individual CD session to help improve skeletal strength or reduce further weakening. We are also able to help you achieve your goals of toning and helping to develop longer, leaner muscles.
Our CD‘s are not meant to replace regular sessions with a qualified Pilates Practitioner but to complement them. All our Pilates programmes are balanced sessions by working on stabilising muscles and deep core stabilisers, which ultimately strengthens the skeleton, spine and limbs, aiding us both physically and mentally, to cope with our demanding lifestyles.
About Kim
Kim Snelling is a well-known and highly respected exercise instructor in her adopted home county of Norfolk, where she has lived for over 30 years. Having first qualified as an R.S.A. exercise to music instructor in the early 90’s, she then went on to train in various other aerobic disciplines as they became fashionable and popular.
She is a qualified and established aqua-fit instructor, in both shallow and deep water versions. Her innovative style has contributed much to the development of this particular form of exercise which she continues to teach but now with a definite Pilates overview and methods.
As a qualified masseuse, plus her extensive fitness training and teaching background, Kim felt that she was well prepared for her advanced Pilates instructor training but she was totally unaware of how this was to radically change her whole approach to exercise. Working with deep, stabilising muscles, individual strengths and weaknesses and postural differences, has revolutionised the goal-setting and ultimate fitness benefits for her class participants many of whom are referrals from physiotherapists and osteopaths, as Pilates and water-based exercise are increasingly recommended by fellow health professionals. As Kim points out, “Pilates is here to stay as it is servicing the needs of our bodies to stay strong for life. It has totally changed my life both physically and mentally by giving me an outer and inner strength. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help others accomplish the same.”
Over the years, many of Kim’s clients have requested audio CD’s to allow them to practice at home or on holiday, which is why she has produced her own range of Pilates CD’s , not only to fulfil their needs but that of a wider audience. In addition, personal programmes have been developed to address more individual requirements. See our news page for product updates.
