Investment. See below for investment specials.

How many in the class?
There are a maximum of 3 people in the class at any one time. ALL SESSIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT. There are no 'group' sessions. Although there are others in the studio, you are doing your own program, under supervision.
Each session is 1 1/4hours long, longer that most other pilates classes, as we spend extra time on the importance of stretching before you commence your workout.

How do I start?
An initial consultation and assessment by our qualified expert is required by all.
The session assesses all past physical issues and current strengths, mobility and posture. We then organize your progressive program around this.

What to Wear:
Snug fitting clothing (gym wear).
Men please wear bike shorts or similar.
Please bring a bottle of water and a towel to lie on.
Gym Shoes are NOT required - a clean pair of socks is esential.
