I realise that many people find getting down onto the floor to do a back care Pilates session is actually too tricky. So this year I started a Seated Pilates class in Borth. I love teaching this sesssion. It has really pushed my teaching , deepened my research and I have found it so rewarding. I know that fitness is often portrayed for those who are already “fit” but being healthy is important for everyone. Please watch this video before you try to and get in touch with questions. This video and handout will be available on my website this week. Xx

Many women in perimenopause and menopause know they need to move more — for their heart, bones, mood, and waistline. But feeling confident enough to start (or start again) can feel like a real mountain to climb.

Your body might not feel the same. Your energy dips. Motivation comes and goes. And past negative experiences can knock your belief before you even get going.

In my coaching, we often use a simple but powerful tool called a Decision Balance Sheet. It helps you explore:
✔️ What you’ll gain by making a change
✔️ What you feel you might lose
✔️ Where your doubts are coming from — and how to move past them

Research shows that when the benefits of change feel bigger than the barriers, you’re far more likely to keep going. And that’s especially true in menopause, when it’s easy to doubt your abilities.

So, if you’ve been telling yourself “I should get moving” but keep putting it off, take 10 minutes this week. Grab a cuppa. Be honest with yourself. What’s really holding you back?

Small steps. Realistic goals. And a reminder that confidence isn’t something you have to find — it’s something you build, bit by bit.

Kettlebell Pilates 🌟

Join me, Rachel Hubbard – a qualified specialist with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science – for a lively and engaging class designed to boost your strength, posture, and overall well-being. I’ve created this programme to address the physical changes that come with age, helping you feel empowered and in control of your health.

Why Choose Strong & Steady?
The Kettlebell Pilates – Strong & Steady class blends the core principles of Pilates with the proven benefits of using kettlebells and dumbbells. Adding resistance to your routine doesn’t just help to build muscle and core strength – it actively supports bone density, joint stability, and posture, all of which are essential for staying active and independent.

Each session also includes practical guidance on how these movements support your everyday health, helping you feel strong, steady, and confident in your body.

Class Details
When: Every Thursday, 12:00 – 12:45 pm
Where: Waunfawr Community Hall
What to Bring: Please bring your own weights (kettlebells or dumbbells). The class can also be done without weights while you learn the technique.

Save with Our Flexible Class Passes
Commit to your fitness journey and save:

Pass Y Borth & Aber 4: £15 for 4 classes (£3.75 per class)

Pass Y Borth & Aber 8: £26 for 8 classes (£3.25 per class)

Pass Y Borth & Aber 16: £44 for 16 classes (£2.75 per class)

The Benefits of Weighted Pilates
Incorporating weights into your Pilates practice offers long-term health benefits:

Improved Bone Density: Regular resistance training supports stronger bones and helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Better Posture: Using weights helps reinforce alignment and balance, which are key to maintaining a steady, upright posture.

Increased Muscle Mass: Strengthening key muscle groups makes daily movements easier and more efficient.

Join Us
Take control of your physical health in a friendly, inclusive and science-informed environment. Whether you're just starting out or returning to exercise, this class will help you build strength, confidence, and lasting resilience.
