New to Pilates or Got an Injury?
We want you to get the most out of your classes, so if you’re new to Pilates or have an injury or medical condition, that may affect your movement. We advise you to come along for a Pilates Induction where we go through a health screening, and you will learn the Pilates technique.
If you’re ready to go and have no injuries and a general level of fitness, then you can book straight into a class.
“The mind, when housed within a healthy body, possesses a glorious sense of power.”
— Joseph Pilates
