Pilates for Runners

PILATES FOR RUNNERS

Pilates, ill-reputed as being easy, just for women or only focused on your abdominal muscles, can actually help to make you a better runner. It promotes general well-being, injury prevention as well as rehabilitation and even performance enhancement. Pilates is not only designed to strengthen your core muscles but your glutes and other leg muscles too. It aims at a uniform development of the whole body by:

• Improving core strength
• Developing posture control/balance
• Resisting fatigue 
• Enhancing flexibility
• Reducing injury

​Whether you are planning to start running, to race your first 5km or prepare for a marathon this eight week course will give you the best foundation to do so. Participation in the course is possible if you suffer minor injuries or chronic problems. If you wish to have a pre-course assessment by our instructors please contact us. ​

With our program we can make you run better, faster and for longer. You will be taught to use the basic Pilates principles during running by switching on the core, allowing the glutes to better activate giving more power to push off the ground. The exercises are specifically designed for runners as they focus on single leg load control, endurance and the synergy between your core, leg and upper body muscles. ​

Sign up for once or twice a week if you are very keen on improving. Classes run on a Sunday morning at 11:30am or for the early birds on a Tuesday at 7:15am. The course is run by Gillian, a podiatrist and Pilates instructor and Juliane a physiotherapist trained in Pilates. 

It is 800AED once a week for 8 weeks + for each additional class a discounted 80AED. 

For bookings or more information please call or whatsapp 056 808 2386. 

Next course starts on April 11th 2021. ​
