Each class is one hour

There are a maximum of 8 people in our group classes. Our classes are kept small to allow us to give you the attention that we believe you require from your Pilates teacher. We want to make sure you get the most out of each class you come to.

People do Pilates anywhere from once a week to once a day! You will get most benefit out of attending at least twice a week.

All our classes are strictly 18+

Men are very welcome in all our classes, and lots of men do attend our classes regularly. Joseph Pilates, who created the method, was a man! Pilates is for everyone.

From 18 upwards we have no restrictions, our eldest client is currently 88! For group classes we just ask that you can get up and down from the floor without assistance, and for reformer group classes you should be able to get hands and feet in the straps unaided.

We can arrange private 1:1 lessons, with one of our pregnancy qualified teachers, from your 2nd trimester onwards. We advise you take a break from Pilates until after your 12 week scan, and then seek medical clearance to exercise from your GP or midwife. We DO NOT take pregnant clients in our regular group classes.

We can accommodate with 1:1 lessons and in some of our group classes postnatally - after 6 weeks for normal birth, or after 12 weeks for caesarean section. Please contact us for suitability and to discuss. Our regular group classes are suitable postnatally after 6 months, providing you have medical clearance to do so.

As Pilates teachers we are not medically trained to diagnose any injuries or conditions, so we we would always ask you to speak with your GP, Physiotherapist or medical practitioner and get medical clearance before coming to class.

Depending on the severity of your injury our teachers are always happy to accommodate with alternative exercises should you need them. Sometimes a gentler class level or 1:1 lesson may be advised.
