FAQs
We recommend trying a Foundation class first so you get to grips with the Reformer machine. If you are reasonably fit and without injuries you can jump straight into a Mixed level class. We will always give options and modifications where needed.
You’ll experience noticeable improvements in your posture, resulting in fewer aches and pains. Physically, you'll feel enhanced muscle tone, increased core strength, a flatter stomach and looser, more flexible joints. Reformer is the perfect antidote to hours at a desk job or hunched over a phone. The more you practice, the stronger you become!
Bring water and wear comfortable activewear. Grip socks are compulsory for safety and hygiene. Don’t worry, you can purchase these at the studio for £10.
Yes, there is free parking directly outside the studio. Please follow the signs.
Of course they can! The Pilates method was initially created by Joseph Pilates as a means to maintain his own fitness and well-being. Reformer Pilates enhances balance, posture, and flexibility, all while building muscle strength.
A waitlist is there if the class is full. If this is the case then you can add yourself onto the waitlist as people often cancel so spots tend to open up. If a spot comes available and you are at the top of the waitlist then you will automatically join the class. You need to bear this in mind when adding yourself to a waitlist.
Please arrive 5 minutes prior to the start of each class. Changing facilities are available on site but we do not have shower facilities. If you arrive after the class has started then we may not be able to accommodate you due to class flow reasons.
Reformer Pilates targets weaker areas and rebalances tense muscles, enhancing your technique in activities such as running, tennis, or golf. Enjoy an improved range of motion, better balance, and a reduced risk of injury, among other benefits. David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo are big fans!
In your first and second trimester all classes are available to you. Please tell the teacher at the start of the class so they can modify for you. For comfort reasons we recommend third trimester ladies to come to Foundation classes only and we provide specialist wedges. Don’t forget that our 1-1 space is also available for a bespoke prenatal session and this is especially required for any specific pregnancy health conditions.
Our group classes are not suitable for rehabilitation. If you have an injury please obtain clearance from your GP or physio before attending class. Additionally, providing a note from your physio detailing any specific movements to avoid would be beneficial.
Please only come to class from six weeks after your birth. Before you come into the studio please make sure you have done a Mummy MOT. If cleared, we recommend you coming to our Mums & Bubs classes, 1-1s or join the Foundation classes. From there, if feeling good you can join the harder classes, but please tell the teacher you are recently post-partum. If you have had any post-birth complications, open wounds from C-section and not able to move safely (ie on/off the Reformer carriage) then please do not come to class.
