Frequently asked questions

We have a strict no tailgating policy in place. The studio is monitored with CCTV and a pass system, and all clients must use their own booking and access credentials.

Some classes can be fully booked. Bringing in an unbooked guest can prevent paying clients from attending their session.

Tailgating or allowing unbooked guests to enter the studio will result in suspension of studio access.

For safety and insurance reasons, children are not permitted in adult classes or on reformer equipment.

All clients are expected to finish their booked class within the allotted time to ensure the next class can start on schedule.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Grip socks are required for safety and hygiene. You can bring your own or purchase them at the studio.

We welcome members aged 18 and older.

No children are allowed in the studio, with the exception of our mum and baby classes where babies who are not yet crawling or walking are permitted.

We are open from 6am-10pm, allowing you to fit Pilates sessions into your life, no matter how busy.

We are a self-run studio, meaning you can enter using our secure door access system, even if there are no staff onsite. We trust the guidance of the instructors on your screens and in your ability to practice safe Pilates.

Staff will be in the studio on a regular basis to ensure studio is kept to a high standard.

Your safety is our priority and we take it seriously. Only those with an active booking will be able to access the studio, through our secure door access system. Our studio is equipped with round-the-clock CCTV in the studio. There is also CCTV in the building itself to ensure you are protected.

For the best results, we recommend 2–3 reformer Pilates sessions per week. This frequency helps you feel stronger, improve posture, and build lasting movement patterns.

With consistent practice, many people notice changes like better posture, core strength, and muscle tone within 4-8 weeks.

Deeper transformations in strength, flexibility, and alignment are often seen after 12+ weeks.

Even if you can only attend once a week, you’ll still experience the benefits. Consistency matters more than intensity!
