Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing you can relax and stretch in. The more the instructor can see of your posture the better. Bare feet or socks.

Do I need to bring a mat?

A towel or yoga mat to begin with. A good Pilates mat is an investment. For more information on purchasing equipment contact us.

Can I just turn up on the night?

All our courses must be booked and paid for in advance unless specified as drop in.

Is Pilates safe for me after back pain / recent operation etc.?

How do I book a One to One session?

Are missed sessions refundable?

Sessions are non refundable, however, missed sessions can be made up during the same term at your instructor's discretion on another course/time.

Can I join a course once it has started?

For beginners, bookings are taken up to week three. After this time you will need to wait for the next booking period. We will try to accommodate improver and intermediate bookings at any time, however, courses fill up fast so early booking is recommended. Drop in classes are always available.
