1. Private 1-to-1 Class

Perfect for:

  • Injury Rehab: If you're recovering from surgery or managing a specific medical condition, a private class offers the personalised attention you need.

  • Personalised class: Ideal for those who aren't quite ready to join a group class and want a customized program to boost confidence and meet individual goals.

  • Tailored Scheduling: Offers complete flexibility, allowing you to choose class times that fit your schedule each week.

  • Pilates Equipment: Utilize specialised equipment to target specific areas of your body, improving overall strength and mobility.

  • No Experience Required: Whether you're new to Pilates or looking to elevate your practice, working 1-to-1 with Michelle, our expert instructor, ensures you're on the right path.

2. Beginners Mat Class

Perfect for:

  • Building Foundations: Start with the basics—breath control, deep abdominal connection, and fundamental movements to set you up for success.

  • Community Focus: These classes are great for making friends and having fun while getting fit.

  • Full-Body Workout: Engage in a comprehensive workout designed to mobilize and strengthen your entire body.

  • Regular Classes & Courses: Join our weekly beginner classes or sign up for our 4-week courses that run in January, April, and September.

3. Mat Classes (Intermediate - Advanced)

Perfect for:

  • Taking It to the Next Level: For those with Pilates experience looking to deepen their practice and challenge themselves.

  • Community Connection: Enjoy making new friendships in a regular group setting with others who share your passion for movement.

  • Affordable & Accessible: Mat classes provide a lower-cost alternative to equipment-based classes while still offering a full-body workout.

  • No Major Medical Concerns: Best suited for individuals who are comfortable getting up and down from the floor and don't require personalized attention for injuries or conditions.

4. Group Studio Equipment Classes

Perfect for:

  • Goal-Oriented Workouts: These classes allow you to focus on specific goals with the guidance of an expert instructor. Whether that’s a sports injury, a medical condition or a personal goal, group equipment classes give you personalised classes.

  • Variety & Fun: Enjoy the dynamic use of different Pilates equipment, making your workouts varied and engaging.

  • Strength Training: Add load and resistance to your routine, helping to build muscle and overall body strength at a pace that suits you.

  • Customized yet Cost-Effective: Get the benefits of a tailored workout at a lower price point than a private class. With small class sizes, others focus on their own goals while practicing alongside you in the studio.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Like to mix things up? You can change your class time each week to suit your schedule.

5. Online Pilates Classes

Perfect for:

  • Advanced Practice at Home: If you have a good understanding of Pilates and want to continue your practice from the comfort of your home, our live online classes are ideal.

  • Convenient Access: Can't make it to our Glasgow studio? No problem—join our weekly online sessions or watch educational videos on YouTube at your convenience.

  • Specific Exercises: Looking to perfect specific exercises? Our short educational videos are designed to help you refine your technique.

  • Exploring Pilates: New to Pilates? Try your first class now, to get a feel for what it's all about.
