good to know

As the nights draw in and the clocks go back, it’s time to slow down, soften the lights, and get cosy in the studio.

There’s a new name on our timetable! Core Control Hot Pilates is now Power Core Pilates. We’ve refreshed the name to better reflect what this class is all about.

Our annual autumn 15- and 30-Day Challenge is almost here to give your routine a little kick up the mat! Build consistency, get stronger, try something new and collect those feel-good post-class moments along the way.

Hot Pilates has become a firm favourite at The Good Rooms, combining the principles of Pilates with the added challenge, and benefit, of exercising in a heated studio.

There’s something about the end of summer that makes us want to reset. Longer days, holidays, late nights and a more relaxed routine are all part of summer  – but as September approaches, there’s a natural pull towards getting back into a rhythm.

If you are curious about improving your fitness, reducing stress, or simply moving your body more, you’ve probably come across both Pilates and yoga. While they share some similarities, they’re two distinct practices with different approaches and benefits.

This International Day of Yoga, we take a moment to honour a practice that has been bringing people together for thousands of years – a practice of movement, breath, mindfulness and connection.

This week, we’re delighted to have one of our treatment practitioners, Nicoletta, taking over the blog. Having been part of The Good Rooms for the past six years, Nicoletta has supported many of our community through her thoughtful and holistic approach to acupuncture. She shares more about her work, her practice, and what happens behind the doors of the treatment room downstairs.

Modern life gives many of us fewer opportunities to move naturally throughout the day. Between work, commuting, and busy schedules, it can be difficult to find consistent ways to build strength and maintain mobility. Weighted movement offers a simple and sustainable way to reconnect with that side of physical health.

World Meditation Day (21 May) is a global observance that highlights the powerful benefits of meditation for mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It encourages people around the world to slow down, become more present, and take time to reconnect with themselves through mindfulness and stillness.
