Pilates Works!
Macclesfield-based Pilates Instructor Hannah Glazebrook and medical communications agency HealthCare 21 have teamed up for a new initiative to provide Pilates classes in the workplace.
Hannah says “I am pleased that the staff have been able to access this scheme, kindly funded by the company. Pilates is a great way to improve health and reduce the risk of injury. Pilates has particular health benefits for desk workers as the exercises help to improve posture and increase mobility. This is a really exciting new project for me and I hope to continue this work with HealthCare21 and other local employers.”
The HealthCare21 team take part in a Pilates session (including their Managing Director) in their office Friday lunchtimes and are really enjoying the exercises.
“Commitments outside of work can make it seem impossible for some to find time to exercise, but with this scheme taking place in the workplace and at lunchtime, there’s nothing getting in the way. It benefits everyone physically and is good for overall wellbeing, which ultimately – benefits the company” says Liz Jennings, Senior Editor at HealthCare21.
“Last year our focus was our workplace charity choir. In 2017 it’s Pilates and other volunteering activities. We are really pleased to have met Hannah. She is great and is stretching us in all sorts of new ways!”, says Cliff Wyatt, HealthCare21 Managing Director.

​
This is something I now want to roll out to any other local businesses who may be interested. I provide mats and I am able to work with varying abilities. There are no pre-requisities to Pilates! I simply require participants to complete a health check form - if there are any injuries or medical conditions, I can chat with the particiapnta ahead of the session taking place.
​
I offer a one-off taster session for a discounted rate, from £15.
​
Packages start from £135 for six hour long sessions.
