Here you can find out we have a Pilates Assessment Lesson, how to book, what to expect and where to go.  It’s really easy to do!

It’s all about you!

Here, what you think is important.  Our job is to help you get you to where you want to be. We know about Plates and we know all about the science and are always hungry to learn more, but the important thing here is you.  And you are the expert in you!

Why have an Assessment before Pilates?

I just want to get on and do Pilates – why bother to have an assessment?

So that you know where you are, where you want to get to and what we need to do to get there.

The assessment helps us offer quality: a goal without a plan is just a wish.

This means that you get the best value for money!

In the Assessment Lesson we learn where you are right now in your fitness journey, where you want to get to and what we need to get there!

Together, we’ll:

• do a postural assessment – we do this while you’re moving…
• show how we’ll personalise the lessons to meet your goals and objectives;
• find the best lesson package for you and
• show you how we provide support for self practice at home.

Every person is different:

Who are you?

• Are you a man or a Woman?
• Are you a young person or senior (like me)?
• Are you “fit” or “unfit”?
• Are you a sofa surfer, bodybuilder, or ballet dancer?
• Have you done Pilates before?

Perhaps…

… you want to stay strong, supple and mobile as you age.
… you’re just looking for a new hobby!
… you’ve never done anything like this before and want to give it a go…
… you’ve been doing Pilates for a while and want to tweak your aims and objectives…
… you are a Pilates Matwork teacher already and want to broaden and deepen your understanding of Pilates as a discipline.
… you are a professional athlete already and want to learn a discipline to iron out muscle imbalances caused by your specialization.
… you’ve suffered an injury and wish to complement to your physiotherapy.
… you want to use Pilates to correct postural problems.
… you’re a dancer with hypermobile joints, and worried about long term effects about overextension in the joints (living in them) that you want to become more stable.

All these different people need a personalised approach!  One size does not fit all in Pilates!
