Welcome to Contour Pilates
Offering individual and group Pilates classes in Chelmsford
Melanie teaches from a private studio in Great Baddow, Chelmsford, offering both group classes and individual sessions. The group classes have a maximum of seven people per session. This creates a safe learning environment and also ensures you also receive the individual attention you deserve. The classes are mat work based and you will also use a selection of equipment (such as stretch bands, stability balls, foam rollers and Triad® Pilates balls) to enhance your Pilates experience.
About Melanie:
It wasn’t until moving to the UK from New Zealand that Melanie discovered Pilates. Originally from a dance background, Melanie found Pilates helped her with the rigors of a hectic and demanding lifestyle. The Pilates classes had such beneficial and positive results; Melanie decided to train as a Body Control Pilates teacher to help others benefit from the Pilates technique too. Since qualifying in 2004, Melanie has continued with her Pilates education by successfully completing courses for Intermediate mat work, Pilates & Pregnancy, Pilates & Osteoporosis, and attends the annual Development Weekend conference organised by the Body Control Pilates Association. Melanie also holds a current first aid certificate, CRB Enhanced Disclosure and is a REPs Level 3 Pilates Teacher.
Since joining Melanie’s Pilates class, my physical and mental strengths have improved. Melanie’s calm approach to teaching is enabling me to understand the technique of breathing correctly whilst performing challenging exercises. I find Pilates to be both stimulating and relaxing to mind and body.
