Try the fitness studio that shows how exercise today is more about balance than beasting.
“Go hard or go home”. “Pain is just weakness leaving the body.” Remember these cliches?
Along with a few others like them, they typify a particularly noughties and (unfortunately) beyond approach to exercise. As a mindset, it was reductive, often more punitive than pleasurable, and where the gains were largely competitive or cosmetic (the ‘thigh gap’ meme marked a particularly low point).
Times – thankfully – have changed. Today’s regular exercisers are seeking a healthier take on exercise and its role in their lives.
While we all have our own reasons and motivations for exercising, it plays an essential role in helping bring our lives into balance.
For many of us, exercise is a fundamental part of our wellbeing, a mindful and resilience-building time-out from the noise and pressures of daily life, and as much about how it makes us feel as how it enables us to move.
Often, there’s fulfilment in testing ourselves physically, and feeling our bodies adapt and strengthen in response.
Increasingly, exercise is an essential part of a strategy to help us live fitter, healthier and happier for longer. Or to enable us to move more freely, more strongly and without pain or impingement.
Find your balance at Ten
For leading London boutique, Ten Health and Fitness, this concept of balance is at the heart of their approach.
It’s based on the understanding that each client’s journey is different, having the right balance between the different services they might need at different stages in that journey, and how they integrate and optimise their services to support each client’s specific needs and motivations.
With 10 Studios across London, Ten’s offer is unique, including Reformer and Classical Pilates, Physiotherapy, Massage therapy, Rehab, and Personal Training along with wellness and Clinical exercise services.
As CEO and founder Joanne Mathews explains: “It’s not just about what services we offer. It’s how we offer them – and why.”
“It’s also about each service informing and enhancing the others – our clinical services inform our Pilates approach, and vice versa.”
With an approach that’s fundamentally different to the traditional fitness industry model, Ten’s multi-disciplinary teams work collaboratively under the same roof. They share information, experience and insights throughout each client’s journey.
It provides clients with a seamless progression from one stage to another, and continually adapts their programmes to maximise their effectiveness, whether to speed their recovery or help them achieve their goals faster.
