Pilates is a method of controlled exercises focused on the deep abdominal and back muscles, posture, breathing and alignment. Mat classes use body weight and small equipment such as rings and bands; reformer classes use a sliding carriage with springs that adds resistance or assistance, and are smaller and more expensive. Clinical Pilates, taught by physiotherapists, is used in rehabilitation, particularly for back pain.
It suits a wide range of people: those coming back from injury, desk workers with stiff backs, runners and dancers wanting better control, and pregnant and postnatal women in specialist classes. Classes are calmer than a gym workout but demanding, and teachers in the UK usually hold a Level 3 mat Pilates qualification or a comprehensive certification for equipment.
Mat classes typically cost £10 to £18 and reformer classes £20 to £35, with introductory packs for new clients. Private sessions with an instructor run from £50 to £90 an hour. If you have a back problem, osteoporosis or are pregnant, tell the instructor beforehand so exercises can be adjusted.

The City Centre holds the hotel spas and the restored Victorian city baths, while the Quayside's riverside hotels sell spa days and evening packages that book out fast on weekends when the city fills with celebrations. Jesmond is the residential heart of it, with independent wellness centres, yoga studios and complementary practitioners around Osborne Road and a loyal, repeat clientele. Gosforth is quieter and books further ahead, with Pilates, reflexology and mindfulness courses well represented.
