Question 1

I've never done Pilates before. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

You're in exactly the right place! My classes are welcoming and beginner-friendly, with clear guidance and different options throughout. You can work at your own pace while I help you build confidence, strength and mobility from your very first class.

Question 2

What should I wear and bring?

Accepted Answer

For both Pilates and Zumba, wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and feel confident. For Pilates, bring an exercise mat and some water. For Zumba, wear comfortable trainers and bring plenty of water. Most importantly, come ready to move, have fun and enjoy your class.

Question 3

How many people are in a class?

Accepted Answer

Classes are friendly group sessions with a welcoming community atmosphere. Numbers vary between locations and sessions, while still allowing me to provide clear guidance, individual attention and thoughtful corrections throughout.

Question 4

Can I book a private or duet session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private 1-to-1 and duet Pilates sessions can be arranged on request and are subject to availability. These sessions offer a more personalised experience and can be tailored around your movement, ability and individual goals. Please enquire about private sessions and I'll be happy to discuss your requirements and arrange a suitable time where possible.

Question 5

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Individual class bookings may be moved to another available session or considered for a refund if illness, injury or other circumstances prevent you from attending. Please email me as soon as possible with further information so I can assess your booking and whether a refund or transfer can be offered.

Please note that block offer bookings and Pilates half-term or full-term bookings are sold at a fixed discounted price and are therefore non-refundable, including for individual classes missed during the booked period.

Retreats, private sessions and special events may have separate cancellation terms, which will be clearly stated when booking.

Question 6

Do you work with injuries or postnatal recovery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where appropriate. Pilates is a well-rounded form of exercise that can help build strength, improve mobility and support the prevention and rehabilitation of certain injuries.

Pilates can be adapted to suit different abilities and stages of recovery. Please let me know before your session about any injuries, recent surgery, pregnancy or postnatal considerations so I can provide suitable options and modifications.

Where necessary, I may ask you to seek clearance from your GP, physiotherapist or healthcare professional before taking part to ensure Pilates is appropriate for you.
