What is the Sublime Pilates method

Devised by Joseph Pilates, Pilates is a body conditioning method that helps to build flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back.

Among the core principles of Pilates are concentration, essential for achieving optimal results, along with control and focus, which refer to the deliberate and precise action of moving isolated muscles from the body’s centre. These movements are pursued whilst maintaining stability and alignment.

My team and I are fully trained to the highest standard in Pilates matwork and studio repertoire.  We offer you a low impact high intensity workout; a fun-filled Classical Reformer Pilates class and/or a Private Pilates or Rehab session that delivers results.  Working alongside osteopaths and health professionals for much of my career, I can refer you to real live clients that have been with me for many years because they know, the Sublime Pilates method works.

Our Studios

In a beautiful secret garden surrounded by bamboo, heather and Japanese Acers you will find the Sublime studios.  Within walking distance of the village centre and Liphook railway station and just 2 mins off the A3 we are very easily found.

The Private & Rehabilitation studio is situated in the main house and allows for Solo and Duo sessions whilst the Classical Reformer Pilates studio set off the yoga deck offers intimate Reformer Pilates classes of no more than 3 people. This allows for the perfect blend of personal attention and a sense of community enjoyed by all.

The studio doors open on to a beautiful sunny deck specifically designed for outdoor practice where weather dependant workshops and classes are held. Here you can improve your strength, flexibility and overall wellbeing in natural surroundings, often accompanied by birdsong. You are also invited to sit in peace and/or sunshine post practice for contemplation before continuing with your day.

The Private Pilates & Rehabilitation studio

Fully furnished with studio Pilates equipment, the private and rehab studio is where a personalised rehabilitation or strength programme will be devised for you. Simple, slow and gentle is the key to mastering exercises which are then increased accordingly to build your body’s strength and flexibility whilst managing pain through body movement.

Sublime Pilates develops deep intrinsic muscles that support the skeletal system allowing for functional movement and improved posture

~ Amanda Beechcroft-Kay

I am Amanda

Initially qualifying as a PT in the 90s, I became an avid Ashtanga yoga practitioner and consequent teacher for 9 years before deciding in 2004 to start studying the method of Pilates.  It was still then a niche form of bodywork practiced mostly by ballet dancers and those in the know as a means of rehabilitation from surgery and injury.  I experienced first-hand the rehab benefits with my own back injury and qualified with the renowned Pilates Foundation in 2010 after completing my 1200 hours required to complete each programme.  This in-depth and highly professional training covered all aspects of the Pilates Method supported by research and clinical evidence.    

My professional journey took me from London to Surrey, to work with osteopaths and health professionals at the Haslemere Clinic to help people improve self-awareness of body movement and pain relief.  This was done with personal training in Pilates in my classical equipment studio in the clinic, now in Liphook, Hampshire. 

Post pandemic the industry changed, the studio had slowed after enforced closure and I took the opportunity to spend time teaching in some of London’s most prestigious and fashionable Reformer Pilates studios.  Being a ‘student’ once again I experienced an outbreak of boutique fitness studios in the capital, some bringing awareness of Joe Pilates and his method of Contrology in the form of dynamic Reformer Pilates classes, others offering a splintering of the discipline.   Both experiences were educational.   

Fast forward to the wellness boom of today and Pilates is on everyone’s radar. I am back in my lovely garden studio in Liphook and have launched a beautiful and unique Reformer Pilates with top of the range Reformers to match the high end Pilates training you will experience at Sublime.  We uniquely blend the classical with the contemporary for a safe and effective workout.

Testimonials

Here are some of the things my lovely clients have to say about my teachings.

My initial ambition on connecting with Amanda was to create some 'me' time and to help manage the tension pain in my neck and shoulders...I vastly underestimated the massive impact that Amanda would have on my life. Amanda is brilliant at reading me - my mood, my physical state - and providing a practice on the day that is tailored to my needs. I always end a practice feeling physically and mentally envigourated, and emotionally calm. My tension pain was fixed long ago. I feel stronger and more self-aware; I am more focussed on looking after myself and that makes me better at looking after others as well as striving to be a better person overall!

My wife and I have been going to Amanda's Pilates classes since early this year (2024). I came to her after a serious bout of sepsis left me with neuropathy and difficulties with balance and walking. The sessions have seen a radical improvement for me, not only with the exercises themselves but, just as importantly, with Amanda's unfailing support and positivity; and she makes it fun as well. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Amanda at Sublime for anyone interested in taking up Pilates either for recovery like me, as well as an improvement in balance, strength and flexibility.

Amanda’s been a saviour for managing my chronic back issues from old injury. She has so much knowledge and over 25years of experience in helping people strengthening their cores and her attention to details pin points the exact muscle groups you want to work on. Amazing! Thank you so much Amanda!

I have been doing Pilates with Amanda for about eight years, and she has done wonders with my very troublesome upper back. My posture has also improved, and I always find her sessions therapeutic. As well as being a great instructor, Amanda is very caring and focuses on individual needs. The studio is a beautiful space in her tranquil garden. Thoroughly recommend.
