First Visit

Do I need prior Pilates experience?

No. Most of our new students begin with no experience at all. All new students complete a free Initial Assessment (75 min) where we evaluate your posture, mobility and health history to create a personalised programme.

What should I wear for my first session?

Wear comfortable, fitted clothing (yoga trousers, leggings or a training top). Pilates is practised barefoot or with grip socks. We provide towels and water.

Should I arrive early for the first visit?

Yes, please arrive 15 minutes early to fill in your health form and explore the space. For subsequent visits, 5 minutes before is sufficient.
