Questions
Before you book
Do I need to have done pilates before?
Foundations is built for complete beginners and covers the fundamentals of the reformer — how the carriage moves, what the springs do, and how to set yourself up safely. Signature suits you once you have some pilates or general fitness experience.
Every class has beginners in it, and the instructor sets each person up individually, so you will not be the only new face in the room.
What actually is a reformer?
A sprung carriage that slides along a frame, with straps and a footbar. Resistance comes from changing the spring tension rather than from a stack of weights, so the load is adjusted for the person on the machine.
It re-aligns, reshapes and strengthens the whole body, and improves the mobility and stability of your joints.
How is the resistance set for me?
Spring by spring, on your own carriage. Your instructor will tell you which springs to use for each exercise and adjust them with you as the class goes on.
This is why a first-timer and someone ten years in can work side by side in the same class, each at their own load.
Which reformer class should I book first?
Foundations if you are new to the reformer. Signature if you have some pilates or fitness experience and want a balanced full-body class.
Dynamic Fitness, Dynamic Tempo and Strength are general-level classes — you can take them at any point, but we would encourage starting with Foundations or Signature so the basics are in place first.
Are reformer classes suitable in pregnancy?
It depends on the class. Embrace Reformer is our dedicated pre and post natal class and is suitable at all stages of pregnancy, whether or not you have used a reformer before. Foundations is also suitable.
Signature welcomes pre and post natal clients who have previous reformer experience; if you are new to reformer and pregnant, start with Foundations or book a 1:1 modifications session.
Dynamic Fitness, Dynamic Tempo, Strength and Bounce are not suitable in pregnancy. Always tell your instructor before class starts.
What is the difference between Dynamic Fitness and Dynamic Tempo?
Dynamic Fitness is fast-paced and full-body: higher repetitions, targeted muscle work and an energising cardio finisher.
Dynamic Tempo is music-led, where the rhythm drives the movement — each section builds energy and keeps you flowing to the beat while building strength and stability.
Both are general-level and neither is suitable in pregnancy.
