 The Body Control Pilates Association is the undisputed world leader in Pilates. Their method is based on the work of Joseph Pilates and was set up in 1996 with the aim of bringing the benefits of Pilates to everyone. Its founders are Lynne Robinson and Gordon Thompson, who have been at the forefront of the explosion in awareness of and participation in the method.
Body Control Pilates continues to enjoy an excellent reputation and is widely seen as the benchmark for safe and effective teaching. Good movement skills are taught, step by step, giving you the strength and flexibility required to perform the advanced classical Pilates exercises, originally designed by Joseph Pilates. Their programme contains several exercises unique to Body Control. No other Pilates system offers such a safe and progressive approach.
The Association has access to the latest research findings on subjects such as core stability, the pelvic floor and muscle balance.
"I'm a great fan of Body Control Pilates. It has helped to improve my overall health and wellbeing. The exercises are now an established part of my daily routine."
Sarah Ferguson, The Dutchess of York
The UK National Standard for Pilates
In August 2005, the UK became the first country in the world to introduce a national standard for the teaching of Pilates matwork.This standard details the skills and knowledge a teacher must have before being formally acknowledged as a Pilates teacher. It is endorsed by SkillsActive and the Register of Exercise Professionals and is recognised by the European Health and Fitness Association. This is key in the progression of securing the safety and quality of the teaching of Pilates in the UK. Body Control is extremely proud to be the first specialist pilates training provider to receive approval against this standard.
