Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates Class Descriptions

Pilates

  • Pilates mat classes focus on developing core strength, flexibility, balance and stamina. The instructor presents the exercises at multiple levels which allows students to choose to work at a beginning, intermediate, or advanced pace. Students learn to be aware of breathing patterns and spinal alignment while engaging the deep muscles of the core. No previous Pilates experience is necessary to join a mat class.

  • Our pilates classes are 45 or 60 minutes long depending on the class. Make sure to check your specific class when booking. We lock our doors when we begin class. Please come no more than 15 minutes before class to find us, settle in and meet your instructor.

  • Please bring anything you’d like to have with you for exercise. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in, a bottle of water and anything else you need.

    We have mats for rent for £1 (you can pre-purchase in Momence too) or you’re welcome to bring your own.

  • Please arrive no more than 15 minutes before class as we’re unable to accomodate students too early before we begin (our teachers will be working hard to make sure our studio and space is warm and welcoming.

    We lock our doors promptly on time once we begin and aren’t able to admit you after we start. If you have any questions or accessibility needs please email us at info@wearestudio70.com

 FAQs

  • Pilates is a movement practice that improves mind-body connection, strength, balance and posture. Pilates is beloved for many reasons but it’s low impact and intelligent approach means that it’s perfect for people of all abilities. No prior experience is required to come along to a pilates class.

  • Mat pilates will typically use your body weight as resistance (or some props like magic circles or pilates balls). The reformer machine offers increased resistance with springs and straps/pulleys (and sometimes weights).

    Mat pilates is different to reformer but if you like mat pilates you’ll probably enjoy reformer too. Find out more about reformer pilates and pricing.

  • We open our studio no more than 15 minutes before class begins. We recommend coming along 10 minutes early if you’ve never been before to make sure you have enough time to find us, park, walk in etc.

    Please note, we lock our doors on time when we begin class. This ensures students belongings are secure, that we have adequate time for a warm up and that we don’t compromise the beginning and finish times (and potential subsequent roll on affect) of our schedule. We do not admit anyone after class starts for these reasons. We also understand that life can happen and do try to balance small business life with compassion.
