Frequently Asked Questions about Pilates

How do I sign up to join your Pilates classes?

You can now use my new integrated booking system to select and pay for the classes you would like to attend.

If you would like to discuss before joining the classes, you can complete the Contact Me form, let me know how you would prefer to be contacted and I will do my best to reply to you within a day or two.

What are my class options?

I currently offer 3 face to face classes & 3 online classes. You can purchase monthly courses of face to face or online classes if you just wish to attend one class per week. If you would like flexibility and the option to attend more than one online class per week, then the plan represents the best value. Unlimited access to all 12 online classes per month. This is by far the cheapest option if you are doing more than one online class per week.

Face to face Class days can not be altered once booked, due to very limited space. I ask that all payments are transferred prior to the class/course commencing, and that you have visited the booking system and reserved your place. Just transferring the payment is not sufficient you MUST complete the booking through the booking system. This reserves your place and prevents over booking or you losing your space.

The online plan ( Pilates Plan) is £70 per month. This entitles you to umlimited ONLINE classes for the month. If you select and pay for this option, you will be sent a six digit code. This code is used to book the classes that you wish to attend for the month. It is suggested that you book onto ALL the classes available for that month, at the time of making the booking. The Zoom codes will be shared with you via email/text, prior to the start of each class, along with a class reminder.

My phone number is also listed on the Contact me

Please complete a Pilates Screening Questionnaire if this is your first time in any of my classes. You will only have to complete this once. Please ignore this form on subsequent bookings.

How do I pay for my classes?

Using the online scheduling service to book and pay for your classes. Once you have selected all the classes you wish to attend for that month on your preferred day, you will be directed to the payment window. If you wish to pay cash for the Face to Face classes please select “Pay Later”and bring cash to the next Face to Face class.

If you would prefer NOT to use the scheduling tool please let me know via email. Then follow the instructions below.

Email and notify me which classes you would like to attend. I will direct you to transfer the fee into my Bank Account. Please include your surname and class day as a reference with the payment. If you wish to pay cash for the Face to Face classes, please email me to notify me and I will share the bank details. Unfortunately I am not able to accept cash payment for the online classes.

How do I join the online classes?

You will need to download the Zoom App to your chosen devise, either your telephone, tablet or laptop. Each month the Zoom meeting codes change and will be shared with you prior to each class. You will also be sent a password that will give you access to the classes. There is a different code and password for each class. It is very straight forward and you can click on the link to the class where you will be asked for the password. You do not have to turn your camera on if you prefer not to. I would not encourage this though, as it does not allow me to correct your movements.

What do I need for my Pilates classes?

I would suggest starting off small. A mat, foam roller and a resistance band. You could also invest in a yoga block, but equally you could use a rolled up towel. Please see a link here for equipment information.

I would suggest bringing water and a small towel with you anyway.

With your permission I will add your contact details into a What’s App group and on the morning of the class I will post a message indicating what equipment you will need for that morning. Just so you don’t look like you are leaving home, if you are attending one of the face to face classes.

How do I know when my subscription period is coming to an end?

I will send you a notification one week before your subscription is due to expire.

What if I want to leave in the middle of my subscription?

I will calculate what you have used of the subscription and provide you with a refund for the remainder of that period.

Can I participate in your classes if I am a complete beginner?

Yes you can, if you do have any injuries or concerns about your ability to join the classes, please email me prior to joining and we can discuss your concerns.

What do I need to be able to join your Face to Face classes?

If you are attending the face to face classes please see this equipment link. You will need a mat, small towel or yoga block, a foam roller or a rolled up towel. A stretchy band. A small spongy ball as shown on the equipment page, prickle balls or tennis balls, light hand weights are optional.

How will Pilates help me?

Pilates is great for so many reasons. It will help improve your flexibility, your general mobility and help build inner core strength. It is a very relaxing way to gain strength without over stressing your joints. It will also provide stability to shoulders, hips and knees.

How old do you have to be to join the classes?

You have to be a minimum age of 16. You can participate in the classes at any age above this and I really do have a very varied age group. Please do not think you cannot do this because you are more senior in years, Pilates is incredibly good for more mature bodies.
