Focus on Change

“In 10 sessions, you feel better, 20 sessions you look better, 30 sessions you have a completely new body.” This is prehaps the most recognisable quote by joseph Pilates – But what does it mean – well its about consistency and repetition in your training. We know the quote is attributed to training 3 times a week for 3 months so with Joseph himeself you would attend over 12 classes a month for 3 months (acutally 36 sessions!!) This level of work really does pay dividends and we want you to effect the change you want by offering Private Classes – 3 months training 3 sessions per week complete all sessions The classes are private with your own Pilates Coach –- your Coach  will work along side you to motivate you and act as a training buddy. This is the ideal gift to yourself for Jan 2014 Call BODY FIRM studios today to avail of our pre Christmas offer
