Pure Body Solutions

Nigel Stagg has wanted to open his own Pilates Studio for many years.  With the help and inspiration from his wife, Tanya, they have finally managed to take that first step to their dream.

Nigel was first introduced to Pilates when he worked as a Fitness Instructor in 2000.  He qualified through the internationally renowned Pilates Institute in London.  He loved the course and fell in love with the inspirational teaching of the Pilates Institutes original trio; Michael King, Malcolm Muirhead and Nuala Coombs.  He has never looked back.

Tanya has always loved exercise styles which helped to calm her such as Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi.  As she was severely ill for many years, in need of a kidney transplant, she found they were the only forms of exercise she could manage.  When Nigel first introduced her to Pilates she loved the simplicity of the movements and the focus of using her own body weight as resistance during the classes.  As Tanya also has back problems and has been advised not to lift weights she found Pilates was the perfect solution and an amazing addition to her fitness regime.

Nigel and Tanya wanted to offer an alternative to the gym environment, offering good quality classes with local teachers who share the same vision.  Pure Body Solutions do this by keeping class numbers low (maximum of 12 per class) compared to other places where there can be 20 plus in a class thus our teachers can adjust you to improve your posture, ensure safe practice and to allow you to get the most out of your class. 

Pure Body Solutions’ dream is to provide everything under one roof.  Evidence shows that as today’s society is rushing from one place to the next and getting stuck in traffic jams, this is all adding to the melting pot of our stress levels.  To reduce your stress levels and to improve your health in general we aim to have both classes and treatments available.

Although the treatment room is not quite operational we have already got a Reflexologist and a Massage and Reiki practitioner, a Homeopathic practitioner, along with Nigel’s Sports Massage treatments ready and waiting.  This is just the start of what we will be able to provide.

Pure Body Solutions must emphasis that to provide a good healthy lifestyle you do have to do more than just Pilates or Yoga, although these are an excellent place to start.  We suggest that you eat a healthy diet and that you also take up some form of cardiovascular exercise such as swimming, walking or even running.  This does not have to cost the earth either.  We have some of the finest walks available in Huddersfield for free with fresh air and gorgeous views – much better than running on a treadmill staring at a blank wall or a TV for an hour! 

Nigel and Tanya strongly advise you to see your doctor before you start any new exercise or diet programme.
