Our Classes & Events
Group Classes
Learning Pilates with others can help keep costs down whilst also giving you other people to learn from, in a class everyone benefits from the cues and corrections given to an individual. Group classes are restricted to a maximum of 10 participants to ensure everyone benefits from some individual attention during the class.
We are now back to teaching in person with the following timetable:
Thursday 6:30pm Village Hall, Bramley
Friday 10:00am Luci Trendell Yoga studio, Burghfield
We are maintaining several Covid precaution measures to ensure clients stay safe, including but not limited to:
distancing between mats
clients provide their own mats
opening additional windows to improve ventilation
electronic payments and booking only, prior to class
All bookings must be made, and paid for, in advance in Gymcatch.
Private Pilates lesson
A personal session is tailored to you and your needs. The lesson starts by discussing your needs, physical and exercise history to inform your programme. You will work on the full range of traditional Pilates equipment to ensure you are performing the most effective exercises for your body and that you gain the most benefit from each session. Personal training is ideal for those who have specific issues they wish to target or are looking to fast track their progress.
Personal Training sessions could be something you do every week or as an occasional deep dive to explore your form and technique to get the most out of your regular group classes.
Duet Pilates lesson
With many of the benefits of personal training at a reduced cost taking a class with a friend of partner is a great way to practice Pilates. Each session is shaped around the needs of the two clients, addressing individual needs whenever possible.
This could be a regular session with a friend or family member or get in touch with us to see if we can pair you up with someone with similar needs

Biomechanics Evaluation & Coaching
If you are new to exercise, or returning after a long time off, this may be the most effective way to begin your new programme. This approach will give you the most effective foundation upon which to build any future movement practice. For some clients this will be a pre-cursor to beginning their Pilates practice.
If you have a physically active life and want to boost the value of each training minute then this approach will help you understand your unique biomechanical pillars, and how they may be affecting your current level of performance. We will evaluate key aspects of your biomechanical function and target muscle release, strength and conditioning training to optimise your capability.
Over the course of five weeks and six sessions, we carry out screening of your personal biomechanics, discuss the results and and agree a specific exercise programme that we first practice together in the studio. We use an evidence based methodology, shown to improve functional movement, to design and develop your programme over the course of the five weeks.
Pre and Post Natal Pilates
Pregnancy and birth involve huge changes to a woman's body which, whilst typically short-term, may have long term effects. Pilates is a great way of supporting the body during pregnancy, preparing for birth and helping the body return to its pre-pregnancy state. During pregnancy it is best for exercises to be modified to be practiced safely, and after birth the needs of each woman can vary significantly and therefore these classes are offered as personal training sessions making use of the full range of traditional Pilates equipment.
