Purely Pilates

Purely Pilates is a contemporary Pilates studio in the centre of Stowmarket, founded in 2009 by Keeley Craigie. The studio is fully equipped with Balanced Body apparatus, including eight Studio Reformers (two with Towers), a Trapeze Table, Ladder Barrel, CoreAlign, Wunda Chairs and Pilates Arcs. Its aim is to motivate and inspire, while always having fun along the way.

All studio classes are Reformer based and limited to eight people, for plenty of personal attention and safety. Classes vary from week to week, use small props such as foam rollers, bands, balls and jump boards, and run at levels from beginner to advanced, with occasional mat classes for variety. One-to-one and small-group sessions suit anyone referred by a health practitioner, working around an injury, wanting a quick start before joining classes, or who simply prefers personal tuition. They begin with a full postural analysis, and small groups let friends and family share the cost.

Keeley has over 30 years' experience in health and fitness and has taught Pilates for nearly 25 years. She has been a Balanced Body faculty member and educator since 2012, and the studio is an authorised Balanced Body Training Centre, one of only a few in the UK, running teacher training in Mat, Reformer and Anatomy in Three Dimensions. Classes run in blocks, so check the Purely Pilates website for the current timetable, and contact the studio before booking if you're new.
