OliverFinn welcomes Chiswick neighbour London Pilates Studio

Sep 15, 2011
London Pilates Studio is a newly opened local health and fitness destination on Fishers Lane, just off Chiswick High Road. The studio is quiet and relaxed, an atmosphere that belies the wealth of workouts and exercise routines taking place inside. This new venture is aimed at Londoners wanting to improve core body and cardiovascular strength, correct balance, sports preparation and injury rehabilitation. The studio is located within Alan Watson’s BiMAL Medical Clinic, a popular local physiotherapist with a loyal following of health-conscious Londoners. Whether you’re on your own or in a group, the new studio offers an easy exercise formula to Chiswick residents, says lead instructor Vanessa Pearce: “You can work when it suits you rather than fit in with restrictive scheduled timetables. "The one-to-one sessions are the ultimate tailored workout and our small groups are great for team spirit. Our approach is different from the usual large exercise classes which can be frustrating for everyone.” State of the art Stott Pilates equipment There is a special 'create a class' option where clients tailor their own pilates session - the hour, the day, the equipment, with friends, colleagues or partner. Workouts for specific sports have proved popular, especially in golf, tennis, cricket, running, swimming and rowing. The studio is fitted out with state-of-the-art professional equipment from Stott Pilates. However, before diving in at the deep end, individuals are carefully assessed, taking into account any injuries, medical advice etc. Longer term benefits of the sessions include a improved posture, a leaner, toned body less susceptible to pain, faster rehabilitation, and a sense of calm confidence. But most of all the sessions are fun. After visiting London Pilates Studio last week, Londoner Michelle Brown is happy to recommend the experience. “Vanessa is great fun and very encouraging. Having spoken to her physio partner - Vanessa worked out a programme specific to my requirements. I got out of breath for the first time ever in a pilates class. I felt the after effects of a really good work out, working muscles I didn't know I had. I even walked out feeling taller!”   About BIMAL medical and sports rehabilitation The Clinic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of acute and chronic orthopaedic, neurological, and sports injuries. About Vanessa Pearce With 12 years’ experience in fitness teaching, Vanessa became a devotee of Stott Pilates, a modern, anatomically-based interpretation of the traditional technique. Three years’ intensive study led to her professional Stott certification, a highly-prized qualification recognised by physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors to be the professionals’ choice.
