Completely new to Pilates?
Pilates Level 1–2 and Bodycare Pilates are the best group-class starting points for most beginners. If you would rather learn the fundamentals privately first, our beginner and one-to-one routes give you more individual attention before you join the wider timetable.
Private Pilates & Reformer
Prefer individual tuition? One-to-one sessions are available for mat-based Pilates and Reformer Pilates, giving you a session shaped around your goals, experience and preferred pace. Reformer Pilates is offered only as private, one-to-one tuition and is not part of our group-class timetable.
Pilates class questions
Useful answers if you are deciding where to start or how Pilates fits alongside the rest of your movement routine.
I have never done Pilates — where should I start?
Pilates Level 1–2 is the best group-class starting point for most complete beginners. Bodycare is another gentler option if you prefer a steadier pace. If you would rather learn privately first, our one-to-one sessions can help you become familiar with the fundamentals before joining a group.
What is the difference between Bodycare and Level 1–2?
Both focus on controlled movement and good technique. Level 1–2 is designed as a foundation class with room to progress into more challenging exercises, while Bodycare keeps a gentler, more supportive pace with particular attention to posture and mobility.
When should I try Dynamic Pilates?
Dynamic Pilates is the strongest of our three group options and is best once you are comfortable with Pilates fundamentals. It adds more endurance and functional training to the classical Pilates approach.
Do you offer Reformer Pilates?
Yes. Reformer Pilates is available through our one-to-one programme rather than as a group class. This gives you individual instruction and allows the session to be adapted around your goals and experience.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable workout clothing that allows you to move freely. Equipment used in class is provided. If you have an injury, medical condition or are returning after treatment, tell your teacher before class so they are aware.
