In your Initial Pilates assessment, the instructor will take note of your medical history, work requirements, exercise habits, previous and current injuries. You will then be placed through a series of measurements and basic exercises to assess your stability, mobility, strength, balance and body awareness.

This gives the instructor the stats they need to design an individualised program just for you. You will also be taught the basic principles of Pilates and how to use your core.

Your program is now ready and in these sessions you will be taught how to perform each exercise safely. You will also learn how to use the different pieces of equipment and how to set up your springs. None of this is daunting and your instructor is always on hand to help.
