Classes & Timetable

There are two types of Pilates classes to choose from. Mat or Equipment classes. Both are excellent forms of exercise, and you should choose the one that best suits your needs. You can also find specialised classes such as 'Pre- and Post-Natal Pilates', or 'Pilates for Teens'.

Mat classes

  • Mat class are done in a group of 3 - 10 persons.
  • In Mat classes, exercises are mostly performed lying down on the mat, sometimes using small pieces of equipment.
  • It's your body working against gravity that provides the biggest challenge.
  • As there is no large equipment in Mat classes, there is less support available, so in some ways Mat classes can be more challenging.
  • For certain medical conditions, Equipment classes may be more suitable. Your Pilates instructor will be happy to advise.
  • If you have an injury or medical condition, notify your teacher who can modify a particular exercise to make it more suitable for you. You must also let your teacher know if you are pregnant or have recently had a baby

Equipment classes

  • In Equipment classes, a higher level of individual attention is usually given. Classes are taught either in Duets or group of 3-4 people.
  • In Equipment classes, you're taught on large, specialised pieces of equipment, with names such as the Reformer, Tower  or Wunda Chair.
  • The Equipment has springs which provide resistance to challenge your body, or sometimes, support for your body.
  • Your teacher can modify both the Equipment and the exercises given, to suit your individual needs.
  • Classes tend to be more expensive than group Mat classes to reflect the greater individual attention provided.
