Pilates FAQs
Is Pilates suitable for beginners?
Yes. Our classes are designed to support all experience levels, including complete beginners. Our instructors will guide you through foundational movements and help you build confidence.
What is the difference between reformer and mat Pilates?
Reformer Pilates uses specialised equipment with adjustable resistance, while mat Pilates uses bodyweight exercises. Both are effective, and many clients incorporate a combination of both.
Can I do Pilates if I have an injury?
Yes. Our physio-led approach means we can modify exercises to suit your needs. Clinical Pilates may be recommended if you require a more tailored program.
How often should I do Pilates?
Most clients attend 2–3 sessions per week, depending on their goals. Your instructor can guide you based on your individual needs.
