Pilates PT:<br />
Strengthen<br />
Your Mind and<br />
Body<br />
Many of us think of<br />
exercise as a way of losing<br />
weight and toning up,<br />
but it’s so much more than that.<br />
Aside from the physical benefits that<br />
exercise offers the body, such as<br />
stronger muscles and a leaner, toned<br />
physique, exercise has many<br />
advantages in aiding our mental<br />
health, too.<br />
When we feel down, stressed or<br />
anxious, we can start to become<br />
nervous about completing even the<br />
simplest tasks in life, and the bigger<br />
tasks can become overwhelming.<br />
Regular exercise can help to prevent<br />
these feelings, promoting a more<br />
positive outlook and energy flow<br />
thanks to its abilities to stimulate<br />
serotonin, a natural, feel-good<br />
chemical in our bodies. In the same<br />
way, while Pilates helps us develop a<br />
stronger core, flexibility and an<br />
evenly-conditioned body, it also<br />
strengthens our mind by allowing us<br />
to separate ourselves from the hustle<br />
and bustle of everyday life, focusing<br />
solely on our movements, helping us<br />
get that feel-good endorphin buzz.<br />
Relieving tension in our minds and<br />
bodies is so important in today’s<br />
busy, fast-paced world.<br />
Pilates PT, set up by fitness expert<br />
Hollie Grant, is a fitness provider in<br />
the UK. They boast three London<br />
studios, at-home training sessions<br />
and a handy online fitness and<br />
nutrition plan. Hollie is passionate<br />
about empowering people to love<br />
and respect themselves, using<br />
exercise to strengthen their minds<br />
and bodies. The Pilates PT Method is<br />
all about focusing on how your body<br />
performs, not how it looks, and they<br />
believe this is the key to lifelong<br />
wellness and happiness.<br />
The Pilates PT Method Online® is a<br />
three-level holistic online plan<br />
broken up into eight-week<br />
segments. It includes online workout<br />
videos personalised to your body<br />
type, fitness levels and goals, a<br />
starter pack, expert content, a<br />
two-month Headspace app subscription,<br />
and online support. Alternatively,<br />
if online fitness plans aren’t your<br />
thing, you can train in one of the<br />
three Pilates PT’s<br />
London-based studios, found on<br />
New Kings Road, Fulham; Mandarin<br />
Oriental Hyde Park; or Sweaty Betty<br />
on Carnaby Street. Better still, you<br />
can request at-home training, ideal<br />
for new mothers, those with limited<br />
time or those who want to take<br />
advantage of their home gym. There<br />
are lots of options to cater for<br />
everyone who wants to try the<br />
Pilates PT Method.<br />
If you want to know more about<br />

Fitness expert Hollie will be on the<br />

trainer will be hosting a Pilates PT<br />
Method class. This is the ideal<br />
opportunity to find out more about<br />
the company and their classes, ask<br />
questions about Pilates and become<br />
inspired to try out this fantastic form<br />
of exercise.<br />
