What to expect?
All of our classes are designed as a full body workout to strengthen and tone, as well as improving mobility and stability in key areas of the body. We cater for all levels of fitness and ability, with modifications for beginners and challenges for the more experienced. We’re all about good form and listening to your body – take rests when you need and don’t forget to smile and enjoy the burn! You might be a little sore tomorrow, but that’s the idea.
First class?
Aim to arrive 5 minutes before class so you can meet the instructor and settle in. We’ll show you around the studio, let you know how everything works, and get you to fill out a first-timer’s form. This is the chance to chat to your instructor if you have any questions or injuries.
What to bring?
We provide all mats and equipment, but please bring your own water bottle. There is water available if you need a top up – or a refill after class! You may like to bring a small towel for yourself, or a towel to place over your mat in the class.
We recommend comfortable yoga or gym clothing that you can move freely in. Shorts or tights and a light top will be perfect. You don’t need shoes (or grip socks, though you’re welcome to wear them if you prefer) as you’ll be practicing on a mat.
What to wear?
Our group classes are designed for beginners and veterans alike, but if you feel like you need some one-on-one time with the instructor before you dive into a group environment, just let us know! We’re more than happy to catch up for a chat over a coffee or tea to put your mind at ease. You could even pop in to see the space and get an idea of what the classes will be like before you lock in a time to get working!
New to Pilates?
We get it, life’s busy! Maybe you can’t leave the kids at home, or don’t have access to a car. If you’re keen to try pilates with Studio Next Door and you have a space in your home that fits a mat, we can come to you! We’ll bring everything you need for the class (mat, props, good vibes), you just have to open the door!
Can’t make it to the studio?
Refer a friend, and if they sign up for 3 or more classes, your next class is free! Private (big) group classes or corporate classes are available upon request.
