Yes, we have several Beginner classes each week to choose from. You will learn the basics of Pilates within a small group and will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish in order to obtain a good basic technique and understanding, which will prepare you for moving on to one of our other classes when you feel you need more challenge.

You will have access to our booking system via an App, which means that you can just book in using your pass whenever it suits you.

If the Beginner class timetable does not suit your schedule, you are very welcome to have one or two 1:1 sessions instead to prepare you for joining another class. Some people only need a single 1:1 session to grasp the basics, but others may find that they need two, or sometimes even three before they feel ready to join a class.

A large percentage of our clients come to us for help with back pain. The first time you come in for class or 1:1, we will be assessing what your needs are and which exercises work best for your body. We will give adaptations or alternative exercises if we think they are more appropriate for you. This is easy for us to do as we never have more than 10 participants in a class.

Yes, you can look at the class choices online and book into any drop in class to see whether it suits your needs before continuing.

You can either continue to book drop in classes, or purchase class pass packs and use them to book into classes.

Sports Massage can sometimes be a little uncomfortable but often people describe the feeling as a ‘pleasureable relieving pain’. At My Pilates Fix we work slowly and within your pain threshold and will communicate with you throughout to ensure that you are comfortable with the pressure used.

Either your underwear or a pair of shorts. Towels will also be used for your comfort and modesty.

At My Pilates Fix we do not use oil as it is too slippery to achieve the required amount of pressure. We only use a little massage cream which is quickly absorbed into the body.

Sports Massage is usually very safe as long as you are in the hands of a fully qualified practitioner. However, there are occasionally certain circumstances where massage is not appropriate. Please feel free to call or email us if you have any concerns and wish to discuss this prior to making an appointment. If you are unsure, always seek advice from your General Practitioner.

Yes, some people come to resolve issues of pain or injury, but others come just to relax or to be proactive about their musculoskeletal health.

Maintenance massage is regular massage to keep the soft tissues flexible and ‘well oiled’, it is often equated to the service you would have on your car … regular servicing to keep the engine well oiled and in the best condition possible, we all do this for our cars but how many of us do this for our bodies? Maintenance massage can be useful for the management of a particular condition or to help prevent injury and improve performance both in sports and in every day tasks. The frequency of this depends on individual requirements, body type and reason for maintenance, along with how much physical stress is regularly placed upon the body whether it be through occupation, training or carrying children. A maintenance massage can be anything from every week to every three months … but the majority of our clients find that once a month is optimal.

This often depends on how long you have had the pain. The sooner you seek help post injury or pain, the quicker and more successful the resolution is likely to be. If you have had chronic pain or injury for a very long time then recovery will be a much slower process, as your body will have developed many compensatory patterns further contributing to that injury, which will need to be slowly unravelled. The average is usually around six sessions but depending on the circumstances this can be less or more.

Our initial objective is to reduce your pain as quickly as possible. We can then look at your posture, lifestyle and biomechanics if necessary, aiming to reduce the risk of recurrence. The next step is to educate you about your body in a way that you are able to maintain this yourself either through exercise and good postural and biomechanical habits, or with maintenance massage, or with a combination of the two.

Yes we do.
