We offer a one-off 1-1 introductory session for newcomers which involves time with our instructor to understand your fitness, any challenges and goals for Pilates. This is important to ensure you take the right path to build your strength and flexibility safely. The session involves an explanation of the apparatus and if time some initial key movements.

Pilates is widely used in rehabilitation and is often recommended by physiotherapists and GPs for back pain and injury recovery. However, you should inform your instructor of any injury or medical condition before your first session. A one-to-one session is the safest starting point if you have a specific issue, as the programme can be built around your needs.

Once a week is great, twice a week is ideal based on scientific studies of Pilates which identify gains in strength, flexibility and posture. As a low impact form of exercise, you can practice Pilates as often as you feel able. Consistency is key.

This depends on frequency, starting fitness level and what you are working toward. A commonly cited benchmark from Joseph Pilates himself is that you will feel a difference after ten sessions, see a difference after twenty, and notice a meaningful change in how you move after thirty. Our experience is that this is broadly true for clients who attend regularly, consistency is key.
