I've never done pilates. Where should I start?
We recommend starting with a private or duo class. In the first class we learn the basic principles and assess your level.
Does pilates help with weight loss?
Pilates is an effective exercise for muscle strength, posture and flexibility; on its own it is not a weight-loss programme. Weight management should be considered together with diet, daily activity and sleep.
Can I do pilates while pregnant or after giving birth?
You should make this decision with your doctor. If your doctor gives the go-ahead, we plan your classes accordingly, usually one-to-one.
I have a condition such as a herniated disc or loss of neck curve. Can I join?
Talk to your doctor or physiotherapist first. If you have their approval, tell us about your situation and we'll choose the movements accordingly. Pilates is not a medical treatment.
What should I wear and bring to class?
Close-fitting clothes that don't restrict movement and non-slip pilates socks. Just bring a bottle of water; mats and equipment are available at the studio.
What are your prices?
Prices depend on the class format (private, duo, trio) and the number of classes per month. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll send current prices right away.
How long do I have to use my package?
Packages are valid for 1 month. Classes you cancel in advance come with 2 make-up classes; other unused classes are not carried over to the next month.
