Our programme

At Zone Physio & Pilates a Qualified Pilates practitioner will initially take clients for an Introductory One-on-One session. This session teaches the fundamental Principles of Movement and establishes the specific needs and goals of each individual client. Clients' enjoy the benefits of continued One-on-Ones for 4-5 additional sessions and then have the option of moving into a group setting. These small groups have a maximum of six participants, all of whom are at a similar level. A combination of Mat work and Apparatus based exercises are used. There is also the option of Mat Group Classes with a maximum of 10 participants. We have also introduced supervised studio sessions, where a maximum of six clients work on their own personalised programme under the guidance of one of our Physios.

Specificity for clients is of utmost importance. The team has found the initial investment of One-on-One sessions before moving into a group setting to be the ultimate way to establish a good understanding of the client and their Bodymind; to be specific towards goal setting and session planning; to ensure the client truly understands the principles of Pilates and the language and achieves a good base of repertoire on the mat and the apparatus.

To maintain the specificity and client focus, group classes are all fully supervised. Client numbers within groups are kept low and clients within groups are matched to like level and/or matched to problems and goals. Teamwork with clients is very important to us and communication lines are always open to ensure clients feel confident, educated and important.

What you need to know

What to wear? What to bring?

Wear comfy soft clothing that you feel happy moving in. Steer clear of exposed zips, domes, buttons etc. These ‘gadgets’ are not so equipment friendly! Bring yourself, reading glasses if you need them, a water bottle and a smile.
