How do I get started?
Contact Fiona to discuss your goals and arrange a private session to see if Pilates is for you. You can then decide whether to continue with private sessions or join a class.
Download the 'Health Screen' complete and sign it and bring it along to your first session. You can also download the 'Principles of Pilates' document and read it through.

 

What do I wear?
Comfortable loose clothing such as track pants or leggings and a vest or Tee Shirt. No footwear, just socks or bare feet

 

What if I can't get to class every week?
Pilates does require commitment and dedication in order to really gain its benefits. However, Fiona understands that there will be times when you cannot get to class, hence the Class Card is flexible and it allows you to attend any of her matwork classes if you cannot get to your regular session.

 

I am really fit but would like to start Pilates, can't I skip Level 1 and just do Level 2?
A private session will help Fiona to ascertain whether or not you are ready to progress so quickly. Pilates is a very different discipline to other forms of exercise and works on the deep stabilizing muscles, whereas most sports tend to use more superficial mobilising muscles. You may still need to do some work at Level 1 until you are really familiar with the technique.
Download the 'Principles of Pilates' document and see if you fully understand it.

 

Will I lose weight doing Pilates?
Pilates will tone your muscles, improving your shape by increasing the amount of muscle in the body (long lean muscle, not bulky muscle) this will help you to generally burn more energy. You will only lose weight by combining Pilates with some low intensity long duration exercise like walking, swimming cycling or low intensity cardio classes at your local gym. You may also need to make some changes to your diet.
