The Mind & Body of an Athlete...
AP
I am a current professional athlete who has experienced first-hand the wide ranging benefits of
using Pilates during periods of injury as well as when maintaining the strength, balance, mobility
and body control necessary to succeed in professional football. I have therefore set up Ashton
Pilates to provide these benefits for athletes of all sports and individuals from all walks of life.
Through an extensive range of services completely tailored to individual or group requirements,
I am committed to passing on this knowledge to extend athletic careers, ease the recovery
process after injury, improve mobility, and ultimately make a tangible impact on each person’s
quality of life.
Ashton Pilates
Ashton Pilates offers a comprehensive range of fully bespoke services tailored to people’s goals using my experiences in a high
performance sporting environment as well as through work with the award winning studio The Pilates Pod. As an experienced
practitioner, teacher and student, I know exactly how Pilates can help you overcome injuries and enhance your fitness or, whether
you are competing in sport or simply seeking to improve your standard of living.
The services that Ashton Pilates provides include:
o Bespoke 1-to-1 sessions at home or in the workplace
o Engaging & challenging group classes for up 12 people
o Workouts for individuals to undertake in their own time that are tailored to their goals and fitness levels
o pecific sessions for athletes across all individual or team sports, designed to improve functional strength, flexibility and
S
mobility in line with the demands of their sport
o Mentoring to individuals who require ongoing support to achieve their fitness and lifestyle goals
As well as helping you achieve your health, fitness and mobility goals, Ashton Pilates is fully focused on helping people achieve a
healthy state of mind. As a footballer, I know that anyone who competes in professional sport will testify that it’s never as easy as you
may think. You only have to open a newspaper or watch the news to hear of the latest athlete that has been affected by depression
or a stress related illness.
Unfortunately these conditions can affect anyone at any time, and I am fully aware that stressful situations, complex working
conditions and the general difficulties to day-to-day life can take a toll on people from any sector, industry or background. It is these
issues and stresses that lead to decreased motivation, level of performance and quality of living. Through my own experiences
though, I know that Pilates can have a huge impact on wellbeing and happiness by providing focus, discipline and a means to release
and effectively deal with built up tension.
Each of our Pilates services is fully tailored to the individual. Whether you are a footballer, rugby player, swimmer or runner, someone
who stacks shelves or are accustomed to leading a sedentary lifestyle parked at a desk all day, Ashton Pilates has a class, exercise or
service to fit your physical needs.
Every person is different with a unique body and requirements. The only consistent element is that there is always something to
improve upon, and Ashton Pilates can help you reach those goals.
