Pilates is a dynamic, low-impact exercise method that I love teaching. It focuses on the core muscles with every movement. It combines strength and conditioning training elements to improve flexibility, strength, mobility, and body awareness. But it's not just a physical workout - it also enhances your mental well being by promoting mindfulness and body positivity.

Absolutely everyone! Pilates is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, whether recovering from an injury, looking for a stress-relieving activity, or simply wanting to improve your fitness. I've had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages and abilities.

Pilates offers numerous benefits. In my classes, I aim to help my students improve their flexibility, muscle strength and tone, enhance their core strength, and achieve better posture, balance, and coordination. I've also seen how Pilates can improve joint mobility, reduce stress and anxiety, increase concentration and body awareness, and prevent injuries.

Yes, you certainly can! Pilates is designed to improve your flexibility over time. In my classes, every movement can be modified to fit your current flexibility level.

Pilates can aid in weight management. It boosts your metabolic rate and tones your muscles, which can contribute to weight loss when combined with a balanced diet. Many students have seen great results.

Absolutely. Pilates is low-impact and can be modified to suit all fitness levels. It's a great way to enhance flexibility, strength, and balance, which are particularly important as we age. I've seen many senior students benefit significantly from their Pilates practice.

Aim for at least two to three sessions per week for best results. This allows your body time to recover between workouts while providing consistent progress.

Absolutely! Pilates is a great starting point for beginners due to its low-impact nature and focus on control and form. You can adjust the intensity of your workout to match your fitness level. I always recommend that my new students start slowly and gradually increase the intensity as they become stronger.

I recommend that you start with our 'New to Pilates' 6 week course, as this will teach you the fundamentals and principles of Pilates at a complete beginner level.

I recommend wearing comfortable, form-fitting clothes that allow for easy movement. It's best to avoid wearing anything too loose or baggy, as it might obstruct my view of your form during class.

Not necessarily. While some Pilates exercises may include small equipment like resistance bands or Pilates balls, these are provided in my studio or can be easily purchased for home workouts. When attending a Unit 11 Wellness Studio class, please bring your own mat.

I believe in personal attention and customised workouts. I ensure that each student receives individual attention and guidance to perform the exercises correctly and safely. I also modify the workouts according to each student's fitness level and goals.

Classes are limited to 10 clients.

Each Pilates session typically lasts for about 60 minutes. I understand that everyone has different schedules, and I aim to offer a variety of class times to accommodate as many students as possible.

Yes, I do offer private sessions. These can be particularly beneficial if you're new to Pilates, have specific goals, or prefer a one-on-one training environment. Please get in touch with me to enquire about current availability.

It's completely normal to feel a bit anxious before your first class! In our first session, we'll introduce Pilates briefly, followed by some basic exercises to familiarise you with the practice. I'll guide you through each movement, ensuring you're comfortable and performing each exercise correctly. Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and in my classes, we support and encourage each other every step of the way.

This can vary from person to person and depends on how frequently you attend classes. However, with regular practice (at least two to three times per week), many of my students start to notice improvements in their strength, flexibility, and posture within a few weeks.
