I am a complete beginner, how do I start? 

If you are brand new to Pilates, please book a 1:1 Introduction to Group Classes Pilates session at Bridgeham Clinic with any of the Pilates practitioners. This 1 hour session will cover the basic principles of the mat class and allows us to find out about your history before you join the class.

I have done some pilates before with another teacher and I am still a beginner. Which class is best for me? 

The best group class for a beginner to join would be a beginners or improvers class.

Please check with reception if there is space for you in the class you would like to join when you book your Introduction  to Group Classes 1:1 Pilates session.

There are many pilates teachers out there nowadays and a multitude of exercises that sometimes have different names. We find it useful for those with some experience to come for a 1:1 session at the clinic to be introduced to some of our basic fundamental exercises and talk through your desires and goals of what you would like to achieve through attending one of our group classes.

I have done a lot of pilates before but with a different teacher and I would like to join an intermediate class.

Before joining any of the group classes run by Bridgeham Clinic it is necessary for you to meet with a teacher at the clinic for a 1:1 session to go through the basic fundamental exercises. We like to ensure that your safety and healthcare is our top priority. 

I have been coming to your classes for some time and I would like to check my technique is correct and advance my home exercise routine. Can we do this in class?

You will benefit from booking a 1:1 session at the clinic to update your home exercise routine. Group classes are aimed at providing a great workout for 12-14 people with different bodies!! Your body will enjoy the fine tuning approach in a 1:1 environment.

I may have to miss a class during the term. 

We are unable to offer refunds for missed group classes. It can be possible to make up for missed classes in another class on a different day, space permitting within the same term. Please arrange this with the teacher at the beginning of term.
