CARVE Pilates Studio's programme has been transformative for me. Focused training on my hips and feet has improved my single-leg balance, while core and glutes engagement has increased my muscle mass in my 60s. I now confidently run errands independently, without a walking aid.

Pilates for Seniors
Why you should join?
Frailty increases vulnerability to falls, a major concern for older adults. Physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles are primary contributors, leading to muscle weakness and loss of balance, both of which are crucial for preventing falls. The consequences of falls can be devastating, with long recovery times and significant medical costs.
If fall risk factors are not addressed, individuals may experience a loss of independence, reduced physical activity, and even depression, all of which negatively affect overall well-being.
Preventing falls becomes vital for maintaining health, independence and quality of life as we enter our golden years.
