Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need To Attend An Intro Class If I Want To Do Classes?keyboard_arrow_up
Yes - most people have never experienced pilates on a Reformer and your safety is our priority.
infoWhat to Expect in the Intro Classkeyboard_arrow_up
It’s best to arrive 5-10 minutes early as this will give you time to complete a health form and inform the teacher of any health concerns. You’ll need socks, your own water bottle and if your hair is long it will need to be tied back.
The class will begin with a brief introduction on how to safely set up and adjust the Reformer for your personal requirement. The workout is a full-body routine incorporating fundamental pilates concepts and how they apply to Reformer work. During this time you’ll be shown how to adjust the intensity of each exercise via spring tension, so that you’re working at your correct personal level. Finally, time will be allowed at the end for any questions or feedback.
But I’ve Attended Lots Of Pilates Mat Classeskeyboard_arrow_up
The fundamental pilates principles are the same but using a Reformer feels very different from working on a mat. Many people are surprised by how much harder it is. Attendance of the Intro Class allows you to seamlessly transition into a regular class without disrupting other regular participants.
What If I Have Some Health Issues?keyboard_arrow_up
You’ll need to contact the studio in advance to check whether it’s suitable for you to be in a Reformer class
What Do I Wear?keyboard_arrow_up
Anything comfortable is fine but clothing that’s not too loose allows the teacher to see the body clearly and make corrections when necessary. Shoes are not required but socks are a must, and if you have long hair you’ll need to tie it back. Clothing must not have sharp decorations (zips/studs etc.) as this can damage the Reformer beds.
Do I Need To Sign A Contract?keyboard_arrow_up
No, classes can be purchased individually or as a package of 5 - it’s entirely up to you.
If I Buy A Package Do I Need To Commit To 5 Consecutive Weeks?keyboard_arrow_up
No, you can choose to attend when it’s convenient for you.
How Do I Book Each Class?keyboard_arrow_up
We use the Bookwhen.com booking site and details of this will be explained during the Intro Class.
Can’t I Just Drop Into Classes?keyboard_arrow_up
We have a limited number of Reformer beds which are often filled with regular participants, so to avoid disappointment each class must be booked in advance.
What If I Need To Cancel?keyboard_arrow_up
We have a 24-hour cancellation policy and a late cancellation incurs either the deduction of a class from a package or must be paid for in full.
