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.
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 perfact
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.
How much does a Pilates course cost?
Each course runs for 8 consecutive weeks
(one class per week): Price is £68 per course.
How do I book?
-Due to the small class size, booking is essential.
Please contact me or e-mail the details of the class you wish to attend and
I will check availability. Please download and complete a “Client Screening
Questionnaire” from the “Terms” page and bring it to the class on your
first visit,
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!
