Group Mat Classes FAQs
What if I’ve never done Pilates before?
Not a problem! Remember even those who have been doing it for years at one point had never done Pilates before. We all have to start somewhere. Pilates is so well designed it doesn’t matter what level of movement your body has, how strong, flexible or not so strong and flexible it is. There is a huge amount of repertoire in Pilates with a broad scope so there will always be exercises to suit where your body is at and what it needs.
I feel like my body is falling apart and I’m afraid to exercise. What if I’m injured? Can I still do Pilates?
Absolutely you can! Some Pilates classes are done on a 4:1 ratio with personalised programs. The benefits of this type of session are:
- Your Pilates program can be tailored to address YOUR injury and any other physical goals YOU have.
- You don’t have to worry about whether or not the “all in one” programs of a group class will exacerbate your injury.
- You can work at your own pace, progress as your strength increases and your injury heals in YOUR time.
How long are your sessions?
4:1 sessions are all 1 hour.
Group Reformer and Group Mat are 55 minutes. (lunchtime classes 45 minutes)
I’m not very flexible, can I still do Pilates?
Pilates can be modified and adapted to everybody, no matter what range of movement your body allows. Flexibility is not necessary to start Pilates or to receive benefits from it. You will however find that Pilates will significantly help develop your flexibility and release tension in your body.
How many Sessions should I attend per week?
Generally we would recommend a minimum of 2 sessions per week however we do respect that everyone’s schedule, availability and budget differ and this is not always possible. A minimum of 2 sessions per week is ideal as this allows your body to progress without having a chance to fall back into previous patterns, however most of our clients do come once a week and still do feel the brilliant benefits of Pilates and get great results it just takes a little longer.
