Boutique PEÉK Pilates Studio opens in Stone

Pamela Gómez, originally from Mexico, has recently opened PEÉK Pilates Studio in Stone after relocating to the town with her family three months ago.

With over six years of experience, Pamela offers specialised One to One and Duet Pilates sessions, bringing a fresh approach to fitness and wellness in Stone.

A Journey from Mexico to Stone

Pamela’s journey to Stone started with her husband’s job, and after exploring the surrounding areas, the family fell in love with the town.

“We are very happy to be here as the people in the town are very nice and polite,” Pamela shared.

The sense of community was evident to her as she quickly became involved as a volunteer at the Stone community hub, where she felt warmly welcomed.

Before moving to Stone, Pamela spent time living and working internationally. Her previous experience running a Pilates studio in Malta helped shape her teaching style. “It showed me I can run a successful business,” she explains, and her passion for Pilates made it easy for her to bring that vision to life in Stone.

Why Pilates? A Passion for Movement and Wellness

Pamela’s love for Pilates started during her time in Spain, where she first practised Mat Pilates. She quickly became fascinated by equipment-based Pilates, which led her to complete her certification in Marbella in 2018 with BASI Pilates. “I prefer to teach with equipment as it is more versatile and can cover more of the population, including seniors, athletes, people with injuries, and even pregnancy,” she says.

Her boutique studio offers a variety of specialised equipment, including Reformers, a Wunda chair, and a spine corrector. “Equipment sessions can be easy for specific groups but challenging for others, and that’s why I like the variety of exercises and movements that the equipment can offer.”

A Personalised Pilates Experience

PEÉK Pilates Studio offers One to One and Duet sessions, each carefully tailored to the individual needs of clients. In One-on-one sessions, Pamela provides clients with all her attention, guiding them through exercises designed to meet their goals and suit their fitness level. “Sometimes I’ll show them how to do a specific exercise, but I will also guide them verbally,” Pamela explains.

Duet sessions, on the other hand, are ideal for those who want to bring a friend or family member along. These sessions are more affordable and tend to be more competitive and fun, while still providing personalised attention, albeit shared between the two participants.

Before beginning their sessions, clients are asked to fill out a form detailing their health conditions, fitness goals, and expectations from Pilates. This allows Pamela to create a programme specifically designed for each client.

Plans to Grow in the Stone Community

Although PEÉK Pilates Studio is currently run from a home-based setup on Crown Street, Pamela envisions growing the business. “I plan to open a commercial property in the future with more equipment, providing I have enough clients to make it sustainable,” she says.

Pamela also hopes to plan retreats and collaborate with other local professionals such as physiotherapists and Pilates instructors, fostering a community of wellness within Staffordshire.

International Techniques, Local Expertise

Pamela’s training with BASI Pilates, as well as her experiences learning from instructors in Italy and Sicily, bring a unique flavour to her teaching. Having worked with a wide range of cultures during her career, Pamela’s diverse background gives her an edge in understanding the needs of different types of clients.

Her classes focus on alignment, control, and precision, promoting body awareness. She describes Pilates as “meditation in motion” and hopes that her clients leave feeling more energised, confident, and connected to their bodies.

How to Book and What to Expect

PEÉK Pilates Studio is open for bookings through WhatsApp or email. New clients can expect a fundamental class for their first session, where Pamela will assess their movements and determine areas of focus based on their health and goals. Pamela advises newcomers to “enjoy the class, listen to the instructor’s guidance, and leave all the worries out of the studio.”

Pamela’s enthusiasm for Pilates and her commitment to her clients are clear. With her unique combination of international experience and personal dedication, PEÉK Pilates Studio is a welcome addition to Stone’s growing fitness community.
