Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our classes and studio
All new clients begin with an Initial Assessment — a one-on-one session designed to understand your movement history, goals, and any injuries or concerns. This helps us create a personalised Pilates program tailored to your needs.
Your instructor will take time to learn about your background, observe your movement patterns, and discuss what you want to achieve through Pilates. This may include strength building, pain management, rehabilitation, or improving confidence in movement.
After your assessment, we’ll recommend the best pathway for you — private Studio Pilates sessions or transitioning into small group Studio Pilates when you’re ready.Keywords: how to start Pilates, Initial Assessment Pilates, Pilates Ivanhoe East, personalised Pilates program
Your Initial Assessment is an in-depth, one-on-one consultation with your teacher. We take a detailed movement history, including:
- previous injuries
- surgeries or medical conditions
- lifestyle factors
- sport or activity history
You’ll also explore the Pilates equipment and complete a guided movement assessment so your instructor can see how your body responds and where you may benefit from support or strength.
Together, you’ll map out a clear, personalised plan. We encourage you to share any goals or challenges — every detail helps us create a program that feels effective, supportive, and uniquely yours.
Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows your teacher to observe your alignment and technique.
Socks are required for all sessions — grip socks are ideal for stability and are available at the studio.
We provide all Pilates equipment. Simply bring:
- a bottle of water
- a small towel
Private Studio Pilates sessions provide one-on-one instruction, tailored programming, and highly focused attention — ideal for rehabilitation, returning to movement, or building confidence.
Small group Studio Pilates includes up to four clients, allowing for individualised guidance with the added energy and motivation of training alongside others. All clients follow personalised programs — it’s never a generic class format.
We recommend starting with an Initial Assessment so your instructor can understand your goals, movement patterns, or any injuries.
Once you feel confident and ready, your teacher will guide you into small group Studio Pilates at the right pace for your body.
