Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to come?

As with everything about Moss Pilates, how often you come is entirely up to you. We work on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning that you'll never be tied down to a contract or otherwise obligated to come. However, it goes without saying that the more frequently you visit, the sooner you'll be on the way to becoming a better you.

Even though it's different for everyone, it's often the case that coming 2 to 3 times a week will give you the results you're aiming for surprisingly quickly. We'd be happy to discuss what's going to be best for you over the phone or in person.

I’m already fit. What can Moss Pilates add to my existing fitness routine?

A great deal. More and more professional footballers, rugby players and cricketers are turning to Pilates to help them increase flexibility and core strength, enhance body conditioning, improve performance, reduce the risk of injury and add extra variety to their training.

Whatever shape your body is in, we can help you feel, look and move better than ever before.

Do I need to be very fit for the Moss Pilates classes?

All of our group classes require a certain level of fitness, but with the different levels available there really is something for everyone.The one thing we do have to say is that you shouldn't take part in a group class if you have a significant injury. If you've any doubts at all about an injury (old or new), disability or other medical condition then contact us to discuss how we can help you use Pilates in the most appropriate way.

Is personal training available?

Yes, personal training is available. Moss Pilates trainers are all Polestar qualified, with years of experience behind them. Contact us here to find out everything you need to know.

What do I need to know for my first class?

First and foremost you should know that you're going to absolutely love it. However, you should also make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes early. This will give you enough time to complete our simple registration form and meet the trainer. This is essential for your own safety so if you don't leave enough time before the class starts, you may not be able to train.

What should I wear?

Wear something that's comfortable and will allow you to move freely. Most people choose stretch pants or shorts with a t-shirt or sports top. You won't need shoes – you'll train either in socks or bare feet, whichever you prefer. We have male and female changing facilities, baskets for your valuables, and water is provided.

Why would I do rehabilitation training?

Whether you suffer from chronic back pain or other injury, have just had a child or you want to get back into exercise but just don’t know where to start, our Polestar-qualified trainers will help you every step of the way. Feel free to pop in to the studio or give us a call with any rehabilitation questions you may have.

I'm pregnant. Is this form of Pilates suitable?

Moss Pilates can become a fantastic part of both your pre- and post-natal routine.

If you're already using Moss Pilates and become pregnant then continued participation in the class may require a medical consent letter signed by your general practitioner. Please discuss this with your instructor.

If you are pregnant and have not participated in a Moss Pilates class before, we recommend that you attend private one-to-one sessions with our trainer to work out the very best level of care for you and your baby. Click here to find out about private tuition.

I have an injury -- or am recovering from one -- can I still do a Moss Pilates class?

If you have suffered a significant injury -- either recently or in the past – you'll need to speak to us before attending a class. Depending on the severity of the injury and the extent of your recovery from it, you may need a medical clearance form from your doctor.

Whatever your background you can rest assured we'll be doing our very best to make you feel, look and move better.
