There is limited parking at the studio for 2 clients on a first-come first-served basis. There are two nearby car parks:

• Goldsmith’s Lane car park – 2 hours free

• Cattlemarket car park (off Wood Street) – 2 hours @ £2

There is also street parking along the Reading Road just down from the studio - 2 hours free.

There are facilities for locking up bicycles.

We provide all equipment such as mats, head blocks, balls, bands, toning circles and rollers. If you prefer to bring your own equipment you are welcome to do so.

​The studio has space for changing and two lavatories.

Pilates is a non-competitive form of exercise. Your teacher will ensure that you are working within your own ability range, regardless of what the client on the mat next to you is doing! We personalise the exercises in each class to meet your specific needs and goals, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and can benefit from any class on our schedule.

You will feel more aware of your body, breath and movement after your first session! Commitment and consistency on your part are key to your progress and if you are focused and diligent you should see results within a few sessions.

Yes, we sell gift vouchers. Please call us and we’ll be happy to discuss which voucher would suit your needs best.

You can freely cancel, without charge, up to 24 hours before the start of your class. Since some classes may have a waitlist, this gives another client ample opportunity to join the class. If you cancel less than 24 hours prior to the class you will be charged the full fee for that session.
