Welcome to Balance Pilates in Tonbridge

Balance Pilates is a small & friendly studio which has the complete set of spring resistance Pilates equipment - cadillac, reformer & stability chair.

We are the only studio in Tonbridge to offer equipment training and the advantage of using this equipment is that it enables you to move effectively through an exercise regardless of whether you are rehablilitating from injury or improving your performance. This may not always be possible in matwork exercises.

We offer individual programmes which include Pilates, pre-Pilates & other movement techniques. Whether you are interested in improving your fitness & performance, helping with a back problem, recovering from an injury or preparing your body for the pre & post-natal period...

Pilates can benefit you.

Balance Pilates was started by Sarah Leach who has been practising & teaching Pilates for 10 years.

Sarah uses her knowledge of Pilates alongside her understanding of
establishing correct movement patterns throughout the body in her
teaching. Breaking down traditional Pilates exercises into pre-Pilates
moves allows the body to recruit the correct muscles & this approach is ideal for building a strong foundation which enables the body to move freely, develop better posture, increase strength where needed and rehabilitate from injury or pain.

Sarah is a fully certified & insured STOTT Pilates instructor who has trained with STOTT Pilates in the UK, Canada and USA. She has also completed her Pre & Post-Natal Pilates Certificate with the Center for Women's Fitness, USA & her post-operative Rehab training with the Pink Ribbon Program USA for women who have had surgery for breast cancer. Sarah, a trained primary school teacher who has taught in Kent and Brunei for 10 years, enjoys running and cycling when not teaching & practising Pilates. She lives in Tonbridge with her husband and 2 children.
