Frequently Asked
Questions
Why Choose Pilates?
Pilates
is a balanced safe relaxing form of exercise. It combines the focus on
suppleness that you find in yoga with strength movements you find in the
gym. By correcting our posture, through Pilates we can strengthen our
bodies against future injuries.
What Happens During A Pilates Session?
Most
of my classes are group mat work classes with a maximum of 13 people. The
class normally begins with a few gentle stretches to relax you and get you
focused, then we move onto a series of exercises designed to strengthen your
core muscles. During the class the whole body is challenged through various
movements leaving my clients lengthened, energised and yet relaxed.
When is the next course and how do I book?
-Due to the small class size, booking is
essential. Please check availability on the timetable page. If the class that you would like to
attend is full then please forward your details and I will advise on
waiting times and place your name on the waiting list and then contact you
as soon as a space becomes available. If you are keen to get started
you can join another class that has availability then transfer to your
first choice of venue when a space becomes available. The classes operate all year round so
your personal 8 week course will start on your first visit. Please
download and complete a “Client
Screening Questionnaire” and bring it to the class on your first
visit.
How much does a Pilates course cost?
Each course runs for 8 consecutive weeks (one
class per week): The price is £72 per course, payable at the first class.
What to wear?
-Loose comfortable clothing. Socks may be
worn-no shoes.
Do I need to bring a mat?
-No, I provide mats
Can Pilates help me lose weight?
-Pilates on it’s own is a perfect low impact strength
training regime, however it is not a cardiovascular workout. It is
effective in increasing tone and changing the shape of your body by
increasing muscle mass but if your goal is to lose weight it is recommended
that you combine Pilates with Cardiovascular workouts.
What if I have an injury or pre-existing medical condition?
-Before you attend a class you will need
to seek medical advice and obtain permission to start exercising.
Should I eat before a Pilates
session?
-A light snack beforehand is fine but
it’s not a good idea to eat a heavy meal directly before exercising.
My clients
leave the class feeling taller, leaner, stretched, toned and totally
relaxed!

In ten lessons
you’ll feel the difference,
In twenty you’ll see the difference,
And in thirty you’ll have a new body !
