Beginner Friendly Pilates at Power of Pilates

New to Pilates? You’re in the right place.

If you’re brand new to Pilates, returning after a break, or feeling a bit unsure about where to start, you’re exactly who we teach every day.

Our beginner-friendly classes are designed to help you understand the exercises, move safely and confidently, and build strength at your own pace.

You don’t need experience. You don’t need flexibility. You don’t need to be fit. You just need a willingness to begin.

Why start Pilates? Pilates is a low-impact, full-body approach to movement that improves strength, posture, balance and mobility. It’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels and adapts to your body, not the other way around.

At Power of Pilates, beginners aren’t an afterthought. They’re our speciality.

5 stars isn’t enough. Claire and all the instructors are so supportive. I feel stronger and more confident every time I come to class. Jemima W

Beginner Friendly Reformer Pilates class at Power of Pilates

Beginner-Friendly Reformer Pilates

What to expect: Reformer Pilates uses a specially designed machine with springs and straps to support and guide your movement. For many beginners, the Reformer actually feels more supportive than exercising on the floor.

Our beginner reformer classes are calm, well-explained, and focused on helping you feel confident using the equipment. Classes run for 55 minutes and are ideal if you like clear guidance and structure.

You’ll enjoy our Beginner Reformer classes if:

  • You’re new to Reformer Pilates
  • You want extra guidance and support
  • You’d like a full-body workout without impact
  • You enjoy learning in a calm environment
