How
do I begin?
You may choose to start in our Beginner Mat Course or with
a Private session in our studio. A brief description of sessions
can be viewed under Sessions in
the main menu.
To start on the equipment, you begin with booking a private
session (you and one instructor). This includes Mat work and
various equipment to suit your individual needs. It also forms
part of your assessment, at the end of which you are then
advised by your instructor of the best way to proceed. This
can mean joining a Semi-private (small group class of up to
3 people with one instructor) or to continue with a couple
more Privates (these can be full or half hour).
You can view the next Mat course times and venues under Sessions
in the main menu.
Both the Mat courses and the equipment classes are suitable
for beginners. We recommend private classes for clients with
injuries or conditions that require close supervision.
The next step is to call us and make a booking or clarify
any questions you may have: 03 9530 0511. Or you can email
Sandra.
Please note: bookings for all classes are absolutely essential
as we do not allow over-crowding.
Where
do I go for a class?
Your Mat course will be held in one of two locations in Melbourne.
The Mat times and venues can be viewed under Sessions in the
main menu. All equipment and studio sessions are held at 557
Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick VIC Australia (see
map).
Please arrive a few minutes early to all sessions to get focused
and to prepare yourself if you need to. As a courtesy to instructors
and other clients, all studio classes will conclude at the
designated time.
What
do I wear/bring?
Be sure to wear something comfortable to workout in; you may
also wish to bring water and a towel, particularly in the
warmer months. For hygienic reasons, we do not supply exercise
mats in the Mat courses; participants will therefore need
to supply their own mat.
Can
I claim my Pilates class under private health cover?
Equipment (or studio) sessions can be claimed under physiotherapy;
please note there is an additional $5 physio fee.
How
often should I work out?
Your aim should be to work out 2 - 3 times a week. This may
be exclusively Pilates, as our sessions constitute a full
body workout, or you may choose to add Pilates to your current
exercise routine. Pilates will compliment and enhance all
other activities
As
a complete beginner, should I start with an equipment class
or in a mat class?
Beginners can start in either an equipment or a mat class.
To start with equipment, you will need to do a few private
sessions so that we can assess your level and get you familiarized
with the apparatus.
