PILATES CLASS MENU

Not sure where to start?

New to Pilates or Reformer? Don’t worry — we’ll help you navigate our class menu to find the right place to begin. 


If you’re completely new to Pilates or Reformer, we recommend starting with either a Taster Beginners Class or a Private Session. This is a great way to learn the fundamental Pilates principles, get familiar with the equipment, and build your confidence with the correct technique in our pilates classes.

Foundations Course

From there, we recommend progressing onto our Formae Foundation Course, where you’ll develop a strong understanding of the Pilates method and learn the essential movements and techniques needed for safely advancing in your practice. 


Once you’ve completed the Foundation Course, you’ll be ready to explore our diverse class menu, featuring Beginner or All Levels pilates classes. 


We offer a variety of Pilates classes, ensuring you can choose sessions that align with your goals, experience, and fitness level.

Not sure which class is right for you?

Get in touch, and our team will be happy to guide you through our class menu and recommend Pilates classes suited to you.
