Have a question? Here are answers to some of the questions we're most often asked before a first visit. If you need anything else, we're always happy to help.
Do I need any Pilates experience?
Not at all. Our classes are suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced clients. Every exercise can be adapted to suit your ability, allowing you to progress at your own pace.
How many people are in each class?
Each Reformer Pilates class is limited to a maximum of four participants, allowing for closer attention and a more supportive learning experience.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Grip socks are required for all classes and can also be purchased at the studio if needed.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive about 5 minutes before your first class. This gives us time to welcome you, answer any questions and get you comfortably set up before the session begins.
Can I join if I have an injury or medical condition?
If you have a specific injury or medical condition, we recommend booking a private session first. This allows us to assess your individual needs and ensure your programme is both safe and effective.
How do I book a class?
Classes can be booked online through Bookamat. Simply choose a session that suits your schedule and reserve your place.
What if I'm nervous about my first class?
That's completely normal. Many of our clients begin with little or no Pilates experience. Our supportive environment, small class sizes and experienced instruction help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
