Three formats. All three work with controlled movement rather than speed. In every class there are people on their first visit lying next to people who have come for a year.
The reformer takes weight off where you shouldn't carry it and adds resistance where you need it. Springs, straps and, where useful, extra weights let every exercise be set to the body doing it.
The work happens mostly in the deep muscles around the spine and hips. That is where it's decided how you sit and walk for the rest of the day.
Grip socks are required on the reformer. If you don't have a pair, you can get them at the studio.
Classical mat Pilates with props. The centre works from the first minute to the last, even though it looks calm from the outside.
A good place to start if Pilates is new to you. And the class experienced movers come back to when they want to work on technique.
Pilates principles at a higher pace: pulses, weights, music that doesn't stop. The most demanding of the three classes.
No experience needed, just an appetite for effort.
Come fifteen minutes early and tell us at the desk that it's your first time. We'll show you around and take you through the equipment before the class starts.
Bring grip socks, a water bottle and something you like moving in. We sell socks too. There are showers, and you can borrow a towel.
If you're dealing with an injury, surgery or pregnancy, tell us beforehand. Then you get a version that suits you from the start instead of the general one.
