Arbitrium Personal Training

So, today whilst I was having a coffee with my husband in our local coffee shop, I was asked a question by a staff member who had over heard our conversation " What is Pilates " the lady asked. She was suffering aches + pains and wanting what everyone wants (a miracle). So I had a chat with her about what Pilates is, why I started teaching Pilates and my own journey with recent spinal surgery etc and advised her to do a little research and look into it for herself, give a class a go (don't just trust my word)

For anyone wanting a little insight into Pilates this is for you.


What is Pilates – and why is it for EVERY body?

Pilates is a low-impact, full-body method of exercise designed to improve strength, flexibility, posture, and overall body awareness. But it’s so much more than just movement — it’s about how you move.

At its core, Pilates focuses on:
💫 Controlled, precise movements
💫 Breath and mind-body connection
💫 Strengthening from the inside out (hello core!)
💫 Alignment and posture

Why is Pilates so beneficial?

👌Builds deep core strength
Not just your abs — Pilates strengthens the muscles that support your spine and pelvis, helping you move better and feel stronger in everyday life.

👌Improves posture & reduces pain
By correcting imbalances and strengthening stabilising muscles, Pilates can help relieve back, neck, and joint discomfort.

👌Increases flexibility & mobility
Gentle, controlled movements help improve range of motion without strain.

👌 Enhances balance & coordination
Perfect for all ages — especially important for injury prevention and longevity.

👌 Supports mental wellbeing
The focus on breath and control helps reduce stress, improve concentration, and create a sense of calm.

🥰 The best part? Pilates is for everyone.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning from injury, pre/post-natal, or looking to enhance athletic performance — Pilates meets you where you are.

It can be adapted, progressed, and tailored to YOUR body.

💫 Stronger. More mobile. More connected.
That’s the power of Pilates.

Don't judge a book by its cover, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you find beneath those pages.
Give it a go

To the lady in the shop, thanks for listening

Leanne 🥰

Every single positive change I make in my life is centred around these people.

I strive to be a better Dad.

I work hard to continuously improve as a husband.

I strive be strong and healthy both physically and mentally.

I don't drink regularly.

I watch what I eat.

I do all of this for these people here.
I want strong, thriving relationships at home and I want to be around as long as possible to support these people.

I want to stay connected to my family.

My family are my everything and I know that yours are too.

Making positive, healthy changes is healing and its empowering.
If you can't make these changes for yourself then PLEASE, PLEASE do it for your team of loved one's.

🙏🙏🙏
Rob.

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ F.A.O 40+ Dads. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

Remember who is watching...........

*When you choose to not exercise daily.

*When you choose to eat like you're filling a garbage disposal.

*When you continue to drink heavily on a daily/weekly basis.

*When you're energy levels are so low, all you can be bothered to do is sit and fester in front of the TV unable to engage in physical activities and meaningful conversation with your kids.

Continuously polluting your body with toxins and poisons cos your body and mind are so weak that you try any which way to make yourself feel better with short term dopamine hits to keep you locked inside your comfort zone.

In a nutshell......you're a dopamine addict and you're depressed and you can't find a way out.

This has been me in the past so I can relate......Honestly I can.
Burning the candle at both ends to try and relax.
Kidding myself that "I don't really drink that much" when I was pickling my body from Friday to Sunday to block out mental hurt and trauma and "reduce stress".
(It's laughable when I read this out loud)

Alcohol is wrecking your sleep and your relationships.
Low quality, nutrient deficient foods that are making you feel lethargic every waking day.
You're craving sugar and waiting for 5pm to come around so you can crack open a beer to "relax".
You're struggling to find things to be thankful for and blame negative experiences in your life on all external factors instead of looking closer to home......Yourself.

Can you relate to this?
Can you allow yourself to look in the mirror and tell yourself to sort your s**t out?

Your kids are your legacy.
Your kids deserve to be nurtured and taught how to lead a healthy life.
Your kids deserve to have their Dad around for as long as possible.

Stop now, do some deep self assessment and allow yourself to do the best by your kids and get yourself in shape before its too late and you're nothing but a name on people's lips in conversations laden with regret and heartache.

It's never too late to start.
The time is RIGHT NOW.💪

Eat well
Train hard
Live happy

Doing hard things in the gym and in the kitchen make every other aspect of life SO MUCH EASIER.

Love and respect,
Rob.🙏
