IF you\u2019ve ever wanted to try Pilates and you\u2019re in the Golden Plains Shire\u2019s north, you have the opportunity this month, and you\u2019ll be doing a good deed.<\/p>\n
Although Genki Fit group fitness training has been running for 14 years, experienced trainer Jaymee Ellis has decided to expand her skills to include Pilates instruction, and she needs some students in order to become qualified.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo get my mat Pilates certification, I need to do a number of classes, so I\u2019m running these free Friday night sessions to encourage people to get active while I\u2019m also learning as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve done a lot of group fitness work before in Smythesdale, but this is a new thing, so come along and try it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The remaining sessions are this Friday 4 August, and next Friday 11 August, from 6pm to 6.30pm at the Woady Yaloak Recreation Facility, and will be targeted to beginners or those who have never done the style of exercise before.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be a focus on breathing, and a full body workout, working the core, glute strength and balance,\u201d Ms Ellis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I like about Pilates is the fact that it\u2019s low impact and low intensity, and even if you\u2019re not fit, or you have niggles or injuries, you will still be able to do the exercises, and you will feel as if you\u2019ve achieved something afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople can expect to be able to do the workout. Last session, I had 10 people in who had never done Pilates before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Ellis\u2019 aim is to incorporate Pilates into Genki Fit\u2019s $5 class offerings once she is fully qualified.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only reason I\u2019m doing it is to provide affordable and accessible fitness to the community, so it\u2019s great when people do support it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
