Liverpool Pilates studio AVA Pilates where local celebrities such as Jodie Comer, Joey and Georgia Barton go to train.
Ladan Mofakham is known by her clients for her impressive Pilates skills, mastering the most difficult exercises and flows at her studio off Bold Street.
The mother-of-one, who is originally from Iran, came to Liverpool in 2005 to study at University of Liverpool. Having fallen in love with the city, she stayed, and in 2017 went on to open her very own AVA Pilates Studios; a fully stocked STOTT Pilates studio that’s dedicated to Reformer, Mat, Chair, Barrels and Cardillac Pilates.
Since then, she’s enjoyed full group classes and many private sessions with regulars, as well as being able to train the stars including actress Jodie Comer, footballer Joey Barton and his wife Georgia, and Hollyoaks and Doctors star Jacqueline Boatswain.
Pilates is renowned for helping to build core strength and stability, whilst helping to develop optimal strength, endurance, flexibility and posture without adding any bulk or stressing the joints.
It’s a low impact alternative to exercise that still pushes clients to hold in positions against resistance, as well as pulsing to burn out a particular area of the body.
Pilates is also great for pre and post natal clients, elite athletes and those in rehabilitation.
Ladan said:
“Since opening in 2017, I’ve had thousands of clients come through the doors at AVA Pilates Studio and we’ve loved working with each and every one of them. It was particularly exciting to have the incredibly talented Jodie Comer train with us in March and April of 2019 when she was visiting family. She was such a lovely client and really enjoyed practising Pilates with us.
“We also had the pleasure of training footballer Joey Barton and his wife Georgia who visited for a series of seven couples sessions. It was during Georgia’s third pregnancy and they both were really good at Pilates!
AVA Pilates Studio is located at Unit 7, Petticoat Lane, Bold Street, Liverpool.
