Your first visit
First timers
Welcome. We are so glad you have decided to join us. Here is everything you need to know before you walk through the door.
Before your first class
A little info before you join us
- Book a Beginner class first. If you are entirely new to Pilates we strongly recommend a Reformer Beginner class before joining an open-level or cardio class.
- Wear grip socks. Pilates grip socks must be worn as a matter of safety and hygiene. We sell them in the studio while stocks last.
- Comfortable exercise clothing. Something you can move and stretch in.
- Arrive 10 minutes early. Just for your first visit, so we can show you around without rushing.
- Bring water. Everything else is here waiting for you, including reformers, props and mats.
If you are pregnant
Please read our pregnancy guidance on the Classes page before booking, and let your instructor know at the start of class.
On the day
What actually happens
No surprises. Here is how your first class runs, start to finish.
When you arrive
Someone will meet you, show you where to put your things and walk you into the studio. Tell us about any injuries, niggles or if you are pregnant, because it changes what we offer you in class.
Getting set up
Your instructor will set your reformer up with you and explain the springs, straps and footbar. You will not be expected to know any of it already.
During class
Options are offered for every exercise, so you choose your own intensity. Your instructor will keep checking in. If something does not feel right, say so. It helps.
Good to know
Questions people ask
I have never done Pilates before. Where do I start?
Start with a Reformer Beginner class. It is built for people who have never touched a reformer, and it covers how the machine works before you move. If you are entirely new to Pilates we strongly recommend one before joining an open-level or cardio class. That is a safety matter as much as a confidence one.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable exercise clothing and Pilates grip socks. Grip socks must be worn as a matter of safety and hygiene. We sell them in the studio while stocks last. Bring a water bottle. Everything else is here.
How early should I arrive?
Ten minutes before your first class, so we can show you around and get you set up. After that, five minutes is plenty. We cannot let you join more than 5 minutes after a class has started. That is partly so you get an adequate warm-up, and partly out of respect for the people already moving.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please cancel at least 6 hours before your class so someone else can take your place. Cancellations inside 6 hours have the class deducted and a $10 late cancellation fee applied. If you do not cancel and do not arrive, the class is deducted and a $15 no-show fee applies. We enforce this consistently, because it is what keeps classes available for everyone.
Can I do Pilates while pregnant?
Yes, with some guidance. Before 15 weeks, attend as normal. We recommend Beginner or Flow, and ask that you tell your instructor once you are comfortable doing so. From 15 weeks, please book only Beginner or Flow classes, as Elevate, Jump Express and Restore are not suitable during pregnancy. At 27 weeks, check in with us for a re-evaluation. We also run a dedicated Pregnancy & Pram class every Friday at 10:30am, and pregnancy 1:1 sessions by request.
Can I bring my children?
Our Friday 10:30am Pregnancy & Pram class is designed for babies to come along, and our team helps with them during class. That class suits non-crawling babies only. Outside of that class, we are not able to accommodate children or pets in the studio.
How big are the classes?
Small. We are a boutique studio, which means your instructor knows your name, your history and what you are working towards, and can correct you mid-exercise.
Ready when you are
Where to start
Two weeks of unlimited reformer classes, so you can find the times and instructors that suit you before committing to anything.
