FAQs

I have never done Pilates before, what should I expect?

Small group Pilates classes are tailored to meet your needs and capability. Sessions generally have a mix of genders, ages and abilities, and all are welcome. The space and class is designed to be inclusive and supportive and it is important to us that you feel confident and informed during your practice, while also being challenged. Equipment and exercises will be explained throughout the session, along with feedback and encouragement.

We understand that the small class size can make some people feel self-conscious and you may be questioning whether it is for you - we want to assure you there is no minimum level of fitness, flexibility or strength to begin Pilates, and as the class is tailored to your level, you do not have to worry about ‘keeping up’ with others.

What do I wear/bring?

Active wear or any clothing you are comfortable moving around in.

We don’t allow socks that don’t have grip on the sole for safety reasons so either barefoot or grip socks only. Socks are available for purchase at the studio.

BYO drink bottle.

I have an injury, can I still attend?

Absolutely! We will manage the injury and your movement as to not irritate it or cause you any pain.

I am unwell, can I still attend?

If you are too unwell to go to work, it isn’t advisable to come to Pilates. While movement can be beneficial in moving viruses out of the body, it is at your discretion whether you are confident that you won’t spread germs to the other people in the space.

Can I claim the Pilates class through private health?

Unfortunately not. Recently, private health providers have changed to only allowing claims for classes run by Allied health practitioners, not Myotherapists or qualified instructors. Our classes are very similar to ‘clinical’ classes you will find at your local physio.

How do I book?

You can use the online booking system or contact me directly via email or fill in the form on the contact page.

How often should I do Pilates?

Pilates is an excellent way to improve your balance, strength and reduce pain so you should aim for a consistent weekly routine to maximise the benefits in your body. You can do it one time or seven times a week as long as you are varying the intensity of your workout.

Can I do Pilates while pregnant?

Yes! Pilates during pregnancy is very beneficial for both mother and baby. I make sure that you are in exercises that you are comfortable and safe in. Unless you have been told by your doctor that you shouldn’t be exercising during your pregnancy, you will find the strength in your body and pelvic floor.
