We are open from 6am-10pm, allowing you to fit Pilates sessions into your life, no matter how busy you are.
We are a self-run studio, meaning you can enter using our secure door access system, even if there are no staff onsite. We trust the guidance of the instructors on your screens and in your ability to practice safe Pilates.
Staff will be in the studio on a regular basis to ensure studio is kept to a high standard.
Only those with an active booking will be able to access the studio, through our secure door access system. Our studio is equipped with round-the-clock CCTV in the studio for health and safety purposes. Regular monitoring of bookings and CCTV will be taking place everyday.
A ring doorbell has also been fitted on the inside of the studio for emergencies.
All guests need to have their own account and have made their own booking via the app. This ensures that every person entering the studio is covered under health and safety for insurance purposes.
We have a strict no tailgating policy. If someone tailgates you, it will lead to the suspension of your membership or plan. If your friend is a member and it happens by mistake, please text or call us. If your friend has also booked on then please both use the door seperately.
Each class booking is 55 minutes long, and you can choose a class length anywhere from 10 to 55 minutes using the filters onscreen. For example, if you are late and only have time to do a 15 minute class you’re more than welcome to choose that class. Please just make sure you’re finished on your reformer bed within your allocated time period ready for the person who is booked after you.
Yes, we want to see how much you love our space, but please be mindful of others and ensure that you are the only person in shot.

We advise you to arrive at the time of your session but there will be a 5 minute window before your session that you can enter the studio. That will allow you time to go to the toilet and make yourself comfortable before your class.
No, our unlimited membership can only be used once a day.
