The Studio The Pilates Studio is fully equipped with large Pilates equipment. Many people who have never entered a Pilates Studio before think the large equipment looks like "torture equipment"! Believe me, it's not! The apparatus is used to facilitate functional movement, add some assistance or resistance, or for the advanced exerciser who wants to be challenged further. Pilates Matwork is valuable also as this means you can continue your Pilates exercises at home. All you need is a folded towel or a Pilates Mat to protect your body. There is also a large supply of small equipment such as gym balls, fit rolls, light arm weights, clini bands etc which are usually incorporated in your Pilates session whether it is a One to One, Matclass or Studio Session. There is a changing area. What do I wear? Socks are to be worn in the studio at all times - even in the Summer - for hygiene reasons. No special workout gear is required; just wear loose comfortable clothing that is not restrictive such as trackie bottoms. A fitted tee shirt is ideal as is easier for the teacher to check your alignment. You may require a few extra layers. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water for your session to sip. Even though Pilates is not cardiovascular in its original form, with any exercise it is advisable to keep hydrated. |
