What to expect when attending a class

The Pilates Studio Whitstable is set within Clinic 124 located in the heart of Whitstable.

The Studio at Clinic 124 is a bright and inviting space that is on one level and totally private, meaning that you don’t run the risk of other groups walking through.

You will need to wear loose and comfortable clothing, such as sportswear. Feel free to bring water with you and please bring a mask. Please bring your own mat if you have one (not applicable for studio classes), all other equipment will be provided.

Each class starts with a warm up and then goes on to use a variety of exercises appropriate for the group. To help you familiarise yourself with the technique, some exercises may feature regularly within the class. We ensure you progress at a steady rate allowing for improved control and ability. At the end of each class you will stretch and cool down with the last few minutes focusing on relaxation.

Most people attend to improve their spinal stability and as maintance for spinal health. Although the focus of the class is to improve condition, it is done with a smile so you can improve your health and have some fun at the same time.The Pilates Studio Whitstable has a good mix of male and female clients of all abilities.
