A Functional movement technique which involves focused exercises to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, range of movement and body awareness. It can also involve the use of specially designed equipment and apparatus, such as reformer, chi-ball, magic circle and many more. Contemporary pilates methodology is a progression and adaptation of the work by Joseph Pilates who developed a system of floor work and spring-based apparatus exercises in the 1920s.

People of all ages and fitness levels can participate in Pilates classes. Benefits include: • improved posture • core strength and stability • increased muscle tone and muscle balance • joint mobility and stability • improved flexibility and range-of-movement • increased body awareness, balance and co-ordination • injury prevention and rehabilitation

You will get your heart rate up during class so be sure to wear appropriate exercise clothes. We suggest leggings/shorts/comfortable pants and a t-shirt or singlet. Bring along: - Grip socks are required on the Pilates reformers for hygiene and safety reasons (these are available to purchase in the studio) - Hand towel - Water bottle

We are happy to accommodate teens through to the young-at-heart. There is no upper age limit, as you are keen to keep moving we can help. There is also a broad range of fitness levels we welcome into the studio as we feel that Pilates is hugely beneficial for all. If under 16, we do require permission from a parent or legal guardian or ask that you attend with them.

Absolutely! Please remind our instructors how far along you are each class, and modifications will be made as appropriate. When you are first aware of your pregnancy please complete an Injury / Health Update Form to ensure our instructors are aware. All personal information is considered private and confidential.

For safety reasons, we can only accommodate children who are restrained (capsule/pram) in the studio. Please check in with the studio first so that the instructors are aware and can ensure we can accommodate your child. Thank you

We do offer 1:1 sessions or private groups. Private sessions are ideal for those new to pilates, if you prefer not to exercise in a group setting and if you have specific goals, an injury or health considerations for which an individual approach would benefit. Check the Services / Classes tab for more information on 1:1 Reformer options under 'Private / Small Group Pilates' For other private sessions or to schedule a session for a different time, please contact the studio to arrange.

As we can only accommodate a set number of clients in the studio at one time, our classes may book out. Pop yourself on the waitlist and you will be alerted if a spot becomes available (fingers crossed for you!).

Unfortunately, no. Sessions are client specific when purchased and cannot be transferred or shared.

We have a strict 6-hour cancellation policy for our classes. It is your responsibility to remove yourself from the class via the booking system or website if you are unable to attend. If you fail to do so prior to the 6-hour window (from the start time of the class), you will be charged the class fee. Due to our small class numbers, we must implement this policy to be fair for all our clients.

While Pilates is incredibly helpful with injury management, it will depend on your injury or health consideration and your recovery. It may be more appropriate for you to train with specific one to one assistance. Initially, please fill in an injury / health update form or contact the studio and we will be able to advise you.

We are human too and understand that life happens! Contact the studio and we will do our best to accommodate you as we would love to have you back on board when you are ready.
