  • How much are the Pilates classes?
    Drop-ins are £14, then we offer a variety of membership options depending on how often you’d like to attend. These range from £7 to £14 per class.
  • Do I need to bring a mat or are they provided?
    You will need to bring your own mat. There are a few spare mats at the Sydenham Centre that you can use if you forget yours.
  • What do I need to wear?
    Something comfortable, ideally not too baggy so I can see your movements and provide any guidance
  • Can Pilates help me lose weight?
    As with any exercise, with a calorie controlled diet and guidance from a nutritionist, Pilates is an excellent addition to any health and fitness programme.
  • Can men do Pilates? I thought it was just for middle-aged women
    Of course, Pilates was created by a man, Joseph Pilates so it's for everyone, regardless of age or gender!
  • Can you teach me how to touch my toes?
    Yes, we can definitely work on that!
  • I don't have back pain, can I still attend your classes?
    Definitely. Pilates is a great way to keep moving, whether you have back pain or are generally fit and healthy.
  • Are there changing rooms at the venues?
    While there isn't a dedicated changing room, there are toilets where you can change at all venues.
  • Is there any dedicated parking?
    St John's Church has free parking available on site. Matico Dance Studio has free parking available on site. Sydenham Tennis Club has free on-street parking available. Unfortunately, there's no dedicated parking at the Sydenham Centre, but there are numerous side roads nearby which you can park in.
  • How many people do you have in your classes?
    I limit the class size to 12 participants so the class sizes are small enough so that I can offer you any help or exercise modifications.
  • Do you teach Reformer Pilates?
    Yes I teach reformer Pilates classes at Fitfor in Dulwich. I also provide Equipment Pilates at Restore Pilates and Complete Pilates City
  • What if I find the exercises too difficult?
    In all my classes I offer modifications and encourage you to work at your own level. If you are finding a particular exercise challenging, feel free to let me know and we can work on this together to help you. You might also like to try a 1:1 session before attending a group class, please contact us for pricing and availability
  • Can I attend Pilates classes if I'm pregnant?
    Pilates is an excellent form of exercise to do pre-, during and post-pregnancy and I can modify the exercises depending on what stage you are at. It's great in terms of pelvic floor health, overall wellbeing and building and maintaining upper body strength to pick up the baby once it's born! Do get in touch if you have any further questions and we can discuss how we can tailor the sessions so you can keep practicing Pilates throughout your pregnancy.
  • My daughter/son would like to try Pilates classes, do you have an age limit for your classes?
    I welcome children 14 and over, however those under 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian and the parent/guardian must stay for the duration of the class.
