If you're new to Pilates or joining an existing class (not Beginners only), I recommend an initial one-to-one assessment.
This allows us to evaluate your posture, individual needs, and medical history, while teaching you the Pilates principles and how to apply them to your body. The assessment ensures you join the most suitable class at the right level. This is essential for anyone referred by a medical professional or wishing to join Back4Good classes.
HIP Pilates (High Intensity Power)
Energising, dynamic Pilates workout combining cardiovascular fitness with traditional Pilates principles. Get your heart pumping while building strength and control.
What is HIP Pilates?
Fast-paced, flowing sequences that elevate your heart rate while maintaining Pilates focus on core engagement, alignment, and breath. More repetitions, quicker transitions, and added cardio bursts create an aerobic workout that sculpts and strengthens. Think Pilates meets HIIT.
Who is this for?
HIP Pilates is best for established Pilates practitioners wanting more intensity, fitness enthusiasts looking for a low-impact cardio option, anyone bored with traditional slow-paced Pilates, or people wanting to improve both strength and cardiovascular fitness together.

FAQs

Faster pace, more repetitions, and cardio elements between strength exercises. You'll sweat! But you'll still focus on form, control, and breathing.
-
No - it's high intensity but low-impact. No jumping or joint stress, making it kinder on knees and ankles than traditional HIIT.

Combined with healthy eating, the cardiovascular element burns calories while building lean muscle. Many clients report body composition changes.

Not initially - Pilates form is crucial even at high intensity. Start with Intermediate classes to learn proper technique, then progress to HIPP.
