JUMP Nation has launched the UK's first trampoline pilates class at its Runcorn arena.

'Jumpilates', which aims to strengthen the body, with a particular focus on core strength, will run from 7pm every Tuesday at the arena, on Shaw Street.

Liesa Rowlinson-Cooper, fitness instructor at Jump Nation, said: "As 'jumpilates' is carried out on the trampolines, you work your core muscles so much harder because you have focus to heavily on your balance.

"The class is a lot of fun and I would encourage everyone to come and give it a go, no matter what their physical ability."
