FAQ - Sessions & Classes

To book, simply go onto the Booking Calendar page and select the 1-1 or class you would like. You will be asked if you would like to pay with it with a payment plan (pass) or as a one-off. Scroll down for the one-off booking. Click on your preferred option and you are booked!

The Payment Plans (Passes) give you the best value but you can also pay-as-you-go.

We ask all new clients to attend at least one one-to-one before joining a class, so we can do postural & movement analysis; find out your health details & your goals and go through the Basic Principles underlying all Pilates exercises. The more one-to-ones you can do, the quicker you will improve.

If you are fit and in good health with a couple of low level niggles and issues a class will be fine. It's important to start with the Beginners or Essential level (even if you've done Pilates before) to start to learn the repertoire of exercises and focus on your technique. We still need you to do a one-to-one first, even if you have been doing Reformer Pilates for a while.

If you have a specific issue or injury or have not done any exercise for a while it's best to do one-to-ones, so we can really look after you and make sure you are working out in as safe and effective way as possible.

We ask all new clients to do at least one private session before joining a class so we can find out your health details and goals; do a postural & movement analysis and go through the basic principles underlying all Pilates exercises. This enables us to write an individual exercise programme which we use in all subsequent sessions or classes.

All the classes are designed around the needs and goals of the individual participants in each class, so no two classes are the same - there is no 'one-size-fits-all' class at Pilates Now! and we pride ourselves on being able to give a bespoke experience in a class setting.

Yes, you can! We offer a Taster 1-1.

If you have never used the Pilates equipment before or just used the Reformer and would like to try it before buying the Introductory package, if you can book a One-to-One session for the discounted price of £50 (down £25 from £75).

Use the code PILATESTASTER1-1 at the checkout when you book a 1-1 session and we will take you through some Pilates exercises using various Pilates equipment to get a feel of how amazing Pilates makes you feel!

The taster session is not a substitute for the assessment one-to-one we do as part of the Introductory packages.

Both classes are fantastic and will give you a great workout! The levels refer to your knowledge of the STOTT PILATES Repertoire rather than your fitness level. Essentials classes cover the basics and are the best place to start your Reformer journey. Mixed Ability classes combine Essentials and Intermediate exercises. We recommend all new clients start with Essentials to get familiar with the STOTT PILATES principles and Reformer exercises, even if you've done Reformer Pilates elsewhere. Each studio teaches differently, and we want you to feel confident and in control throughout your workout!

Duet sessions are booked in the same slots as one-to-one sessions. Both participants need to attend a private session first for postural and movement analysis and to review individual health details and goals. The Duet session costs the same as a one-to-one, and you will need to sort out the payment between yourselves. If one person can't attend, the full price is still due. Please contact us before booking!

You can change your booking up to 24 hours in advance by going to 'My Account'. Use the reschedule button if you're switching to the same type of class (e.g., Mixed Ability to Mixed Ability). If you want to change the class type (e.g., Mixed Ability to Essential), you'll need to cancel the original class and book a new one. Contact us if you need any help!
