When you start Pilates for the first time, or if you have not done Pilates for a while, we will first spend a few private sessions with you. This will enable you to get comfortable with the exercises and techniques and it will allow us to assess your body and place you in a class that will suit you. If you prefer to exercise with a friend or partner, we provide semi-private classes (2-3 people) on request. Our goal is to create a positive movement experience for every client, by teaching them to enjoy using their body in pleasant and challenging ways. Our secret lies in the diverse range of skills of our excellent instructors. Classes are kept very small to ensure individual attention. We use a large range of Pilates equipment, like reformers, wanda chairs and barrels. This lets us keep your workout interesting and varied. Our air-conditioner keeps the studio at a comfortable temperature. We specialise in Pilates, but by learning a wider variety of disciplines we can tailor our classes perfectly to your needs.
