In your first One-to-One session, we’ll review your health history, discuss any current or past injuries, and assess your posture, alignment, mobility, and muscle balance. You’ll learn the Pilates basics—core engagement, breathing, neutral spine and pelvis, and key start positions—while trying a few simple exercises in each. Throughout, I’ll observe your movement patterns to identify pain triggers, imbalances, or restrictions and offer personalised suggestions and techniques to help you get the most from your practice. You’ll leave with tailored homework to support your progress before your next session.

Wear comfortable clothing or a gym kit that isn’t too loose. In colder months, choose non-bulky layers, to easily remove as you warmup.  Grip socks are preferred or go barefoot  (grippy ones are best). If wearing shorts, ensure they are knee-length and close fitting (e.g., cycling type shorts).

The Studio provides mats and small equipment (used occasionally in class), which are cleaned after each use. Optional: water bottle if you tend to get thirsty, and a hand towel for a cushion.

There are no dedicated changing areas, so please arrive dressed and ready for class. Toilets are available for urgent use only.

There is limited space for coats, shoes and handbags, so please keep personal belongings to a minimum and set your phones to silent.

The studio is a ground floor facility with small steps.  Careful consideration should be made for the nearby parking options. Please contact Lisa: info@lcpilates.co.uk or 07735024078 to for help or advise.
