"In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference. In 20 you'll see the difference. In 30 you'll have a whole new body."
Joseph Pilates, Return to Life through Contrology.

A block of classes is usually five, six or seven weeks. I run in conjunction with school term times. If you miss a class you will be sent a suitable recording of that or a similar class.

Pilates is for anybody of any age or fitness level. You are never too young or too old to start Pilates. The mind-body awareness that you develop through Pilates should help you in your daily life, whether that is carrying a heavy bag full of books to school, sitting at a desk at work, running a marathon or walking from one room to another. With my training in Bone health and Osteoporosis I am also qualified to teach older people in a safe manner.

No! Remember, Joseph Pilates himself was a man and originally designed the Pilates method, or 'Contrology' as he named it, for Gymnasts and Boxers.

I am qualified to teach pre and post natal Pilates.  At present I do not have a specific class but postnatally am happy for you to join once you have had your post birth health check and are cleared to exercise.  If there are a few of you interested in a specific Pre or Post Natal Pilates class I am always open to setting up a small class.

Yes. Pilates can help with the recuperation after an injury depending on the type of injury.  It has also been proven to have a significant benefit in easing low back pain and in helping with back issues. We would need to discuss your injury and make sure you are safe to do Pilates. I can also devise a specific private programme to aid recovery through a series of one-to-one sessions. Working with the Pilates Reformer can also be excellent for rehabilitation work.

Firstly, you can email, message or contact me on 07989 333620 with any queries or with your interest in any classes.  We can arrange an initial assessment and discuss what will be the best course of action for you with regards to booking private sessions or joining a class.

Unless I am running a taster class or new block of Beginner classes, a one-to-one initial assessment should be attended. In this session, we go through the basics and I give you a postural assessment. If you have previous experience with Body Control Pilates, you are welcome to try a class if you are looking to book onto a course.

If you have never done Pilates before you should take a Beginners class, regardless of fitness level. If you have done Pilates before you would enter an Improvers or Intermediate level class. This is something that I can give you guidance with at your initial one-to-one assessment.

Classes are small with a maximum of 12 people, usually 8-10 in a class. Beginner groups are usually smaller than this with six or seven. Small groups allow me to make sure that everyone is working safely and at the right level for them.

Wear something comfortable and preferably form fitting (leggings, tracksuit bottoms or shorts and a T-shirt or vest are ideal). Layers are good in case you get warm.  Pilates is done without shoes however for hygiene reasons, socks should be worn. Toesocks are ideal but not essential. Gentlemen, if wearing shorts, I advise wearing cycling or lycra shorts underneath.

Classes last one hour. 
Initial assessment is one hour fifteen minutes.
Private sessions one-to-one, two-to-one or three-to-one are one hour.

This really depends on your needs. All my classes are small so you have constant supervision to work in a safe manner. If you have medical issues, it may be advisable to have some private sessions before joining a group situation. Equally, if you'd like to enter into a higher level or more established group and don’t have much previous Pilates experience, some private sessions first can fast track you to a more advanced class. Private sessions are also great if you want to work on an individual programme towards a specific goal or if you are in specific training eg; triathlon, running, cycling, eventing or showjumping etc.

Classes run in blocks of either 5,6, or 7 weeks.  Your first block is to be paid up front at £11 per class .  For example, a six week block will be £66.

Thereafter, if you're happy to continue, classes are payable at £38 per month.  this works out at £11 per class over the course of the year. Please refer to 'Bookings'.
