Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG IS A PILATES CLASS?

There is an option for a 30 or 55 minute class.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Loose comfortable clothing or your usual gym clothes. You won’t need shoes – bare feet are OK, or socks if you prefer.

I’VE NEVER DONE PILATES BEFORE SHOULD I CHOOSE A PRIVATE SESSION FIRST?

One to one classes will always be the most beneficial, but if you want to begin with a friend that’s good too. Duos are more economical of course, I recommend you take one personal training session to begin with then continue with a friend later.

DO I NEED TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

HOW MANY TIMES EACH WEEK DO YOU RECOMMEND?

That really depends on you. Consistency is important I would rather you came once a week – every week, than over commit. Twice a week would be great to see results in less time.

DO I NEED TO BE FIT?

Definitely not all levels of fitness are welcome – even if you have some health issues I can discuss them with you so we can work out a programme for your needs.

IS IT LIKE YOGA?

There is a similarity in that there's a mind and body connection – however, Pilates has no religious connection. The main difference is that there's a line of professional equipment not available to yoga. The spring tension and variety of movements add another dimension to the Pilates programme.

IS IT AEROBIC?

If you’re a beginner then initially the classes will be flowing and continuos but you probably won’t feel an aerobic response, however as you become more familiar you’ll use the Jumpboard which will add an aerobic element to your workout. In addition to the Jumpboard as the exercises become more complex the intensity will increase – Pilates is not an easy stretch as some people think, you'll use your whole body from the inside out even as a beginner

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

Absolutely not I have clients ranging from 25 to 89 years young – I’ll fit the class to suit you and your needs

WILL I LOSE WEIGHT?

80% of weight loss is due to good nutrition – however when you regularly do Pilates you will feel lighter and slimmer even if you don’t alter your eating plan because your posture will improve giving the impression of inches lost.

WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

I offer retreats and small group programmes by design.
