FAQs

We've compiled a list of commonly asked questions below. If your questions is not there please get in touch and we will help you out.

What should I wear?

The most important clothing requirement is that is comfortable and allows full body movement. Ideally it also shows the outline of the body, but certainly there is no expectation of tight lycra! e.g. leggings, T-shirts, shorts are all suitable. Shoes are not worn in the studio.

Do I need to bring anything?

Studio36 provides all necessary equipment for all classes. Small equipment is available to purchase in the studio for home use.

How much does it cost?

For more information of pricing for the various classes and sessions visit their pages - Matwork, Reformer, Studio Sessions, One to one.

Can I pay by credit card?

Yes it is possible to pay for your session with a credit card online or in the studio. Cash, cheque or bank transfer also welcome.

Can I book my class online?

We do not take online booking because we think it’s vitally important to speak with all of our clients first to get an understanding of their goals and any injury or conditions they may have. This means that every client can access the classes and sessions that are perfect for them. Book a consultation.

What if I miss a class?

In the event of missing a class there may be a possibility of attending a catch up class within your current block – these are available by prior arrangement with your teacher, when space is available within an alternative class. Unfortunately it is not possible to carry over catch up classes to another block – it all gets too complex! Therefore please let the teacher know if you aren’t able to attend a class, as this may allow another client an opportunity to slot into that class.

One to One Sessions 
We require you to contact the studio via e-mail, text or phone at least 48 hours before your appointment is due if you would like to cancel or reschedule.
Apologies credit/refund cannot be given if the notice period is not adhered to.

Is it suitable to do pilates if I am pregnant?

Yes, but ideally on a one to one basis, but within a class exercises can be modified depending on the stage of pregnancy. Often if new to Pilates it is advised to avoid weeks 8-14 of the pregnancy term.

Is it suitable to do Pilates if I have Osteoporosis?

Clients with Osteoporosis can certainly benefit from Pilates training, a private one to one session is recommended initially, but within a class setting exercises can easily be adapted if necessary. Always inform your teacher of your condition.

Is it suitable for Arthritis?

It is very important to keep your joints as free moving and as healthy as possible and Pilates, with particular focus on alignment and controlled movement, certainly assists in this process. As always, regarding any exercise it is recommended to consult a medical practitioner e.g. physiotherapist or GP for advice re: exercise or if an acute flare up of joint arthritis occurs.

Is there parking?

Yes, we have private car parking right beside the studio door.

Is your studio easily accessible?

Yes. We understand how important it is that people with varying degrees of mobility have level access, and this is available from the car park into the studio.
