+ What should I wear?

Wear comfortable workout clothes. You’ll be lying down some of the time with your hands or legs in the air so make sure your clothes move with you. You don’t wear shoes or socks in class – regular socks will make you slide too much and can be unsafe. We suggest you go barefoot!

+ What should I do if I am new?

If you have no prior group reformer pilates class experience be sure to book into a Foundation Reformer Class. Please arrive 10 minutes before your first class to meet your instructor so you can be given a rundown on the equipment and you can let her know of any injuries you have, or have had previously.

+ Why do you use Reformer Pilates beds?

Pilates reformer machines are the ultimate choice for lean muscle toning due to the adjustable finely tuned spring loaded resistance and the wide variety of exercises available. Springs help to lengthen and strengthen muscles, rather than building bulk. The springs are useful to provide both assistance in some exercises and added resistance challenge in others, making it an invaluable tool.

For Group Reformer Pilates you can freely cancel up to 12 hours prior to the class start time. If you cancel less than 12 hours before the start of class, this will count as a late-cancel.

If you late cancel or no-show and are you will be charged for the class or a class credit will be deducted.

+ I'm Pregnant

Even if you have just found out you are pregnant your instructor needs to know. We can note this on your profile and how many weeks. Your information is completely confidential. Pregnant clients need to avoid activities where they might get too hot, lying on their back, inversions, heavy lifting and various other exercises. We recommend just participating in Foundation Reformer, unless you have had a consistent practice leading up to your pregnancy. We also have a Pre and Postnatal course that runs each school term so you can join this also! Email us to find out more at hello@barefootstudiopilates.com
