FAQS

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE I START PILATES?

All participants are required to complete a PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) before starting their first class. Forms will be kept securely for a period of 7 years after the participant has taken their last class. There is no legal obligation to destroy this information before the 7 years are up as there is a requirement by law to keep this particular data on record for that period of time.

Data collected on this form is for your Instructor’s use only in order to provide a safe, effective exercise program & to be able to contact you should any changes arise prior to a session.

Next of kin contact details supplied will only be used should you require emergency medical assistance.

NO personal or medical information is held electronically.

All information will be held in the strictest of confidence in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.

I THINK I MIGHT BE PREGNANT

If you are, or you think you might be pregnant then you cannot participate in my Pilates sessions. I do not hold a Pre or Post-Natal Pilates qualification, however, I can refer you accordingly.

WHAT DO I NEED?

You will need an exercise mat (6mm thick is ideal), a hand towel and water to stay hydrated. Please wear loose comfortable clothing you can easily move in, socks on feet unless you prefer to be barefoot.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER EQUIPMENT?

With the exception of the above you do not need anything else. I will send you a welcome bundle of Pilates equipment, yours to keep for eternity.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER?

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can occur between 24 and 48 hours post exercise and can last as long as 72 hours.

Feeling sore after practicing Pilates is a signal your body is adapting to a new exercise system. Drinking plenty of water will help your body.

Always consult your doctor/healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program.
