Classes & who they suit

Here's how the class types differ and who each one is for.

Private Sessions

Is The Pilates Nook right for you?

Absolute beginners
The Essentials class and private/duet sessions are designed to build strong foundations. Studio recommends beginners start with privates or duets before moving to group classes.
Those recovering from injury or surgery
Private sessions allow instructors to understand your rehabilitation requirements and tailor movement to your recovery needs.
People with chronic conditions
Studio offers personalised, science-backed approaches tailored to individual health conditions and limitations.
Pre and post-natal clients
Multiple instructors hold Pre/Post Natal Pilates certifications and bring expertise in supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Those seeking community and support
Studio emphasises being a supportive community with friendly faces, encouraging energy, and a focus on making Pilates something clients look forward to.
Maybe not for you if… Maybe not for you if you prefer drop-in sessions without commitment — the studio requires a compulsory initial assessment before commencing private or duet work, and group classes assume some foundation knowledge.
