Comfortable training clothes you can move freely in such as leggings, shorts or tracksuit bottoms. Something that isn\u2019t too baggy so Greville can see your alignment. During the colder months you might want to wear layers you can remove once warmed up. Classes are done barefoot; no trainers are required.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

You will need a yoga mat \u2013 a thick one is best. You may also need a head cushion (a regular cushion or rolled up jumpers are good to begin with).<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Pilates is often recommended for back ache and other joint problems.\u00a0 However, if your injury is new – you should make an appointment to see your doctor or therapist to make sure they are happy for you to join class.\u00a0If you are referred by your doctor, physiotherapist\u00a0or osteopath Greville can liaise with them (with your permission) to ensure he is helping you to exercise in the best way for your body.\u00a0

If you injure yourself between classes, please inform Greville before the class so he can ensure you are safe to exercise. Many of the exercises can be modified to prevent further injury.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

You’ll be taught a series of exercises on a mat \u2013 you need to bring your own (a thick yoga mat is perfect).
Some exercises will be standing, others will be laying down in one of several start positions. Pilates involve multiple repetitions of an exercise, before moving onto a new exercise. Beginners\u2019 exercises are simple, Intermediate and Advanced exercises involve more complex choreography requiring a high degree of control and coordination.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Every body is different. Some people will notice the difference after just a few sessions. For others it may take a little longer. Like every type of exercise, the more you practice the faster you will progress and see the benefits.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

No, I\u2019m afraid not. All new clients must complete a PAR-Q Health Questionnaire which requires screening for suitability before attending class.
Classes are in blocks of 6 weeks. We do offer a taster course of 3 weeks so you can see if Pilates is right for you.
One of the things that sets Body Control Pilates apart from some other forms of exercise class is that the teacher tailor makes a program for the clients. A drop-in class would not be able to do that.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Of course! We encourage you to ask if you don\u2019t understand anything<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Unfortunately, the cost of the block is non-refundable. However, if you can give at least 24 hours\u2019 notice we can arrange a make-up session in the same block.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Currently Greville is only offering 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 classes.
When he does offer group classes there will be a maximum of 12 people. Unlike big gym classes Greville\u2019s small classes mean you get plenty of attention.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
