What to look for in a reformer Pilaltes class in Glasgow
Studio vibe and class type
When it’s a dark morning and the idea of staying in bed is the only thing you can think about, what’s going to get you motivated? That’s the vibe you want from your Pilates studio. A welcome and supportive atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable is what you’re looking for.
You’ll also want to check out what types of classes your reformer Pilates studio offers. For example, do you prefer a more classical style which emphasises alignment and mind-body connection? Or would you rather have something more athletic with a bootcamp style? However you prefer to move, there’s something for everyone.
Another thing to consider is what type of classes your chosen studio offers. What level are there and what are the options to take specialised classes that grow with your lifestyle, like pre- or post-natal classes and injury-focused sessions.
Instructors and expertise
As well as the feel of the classes and the personalities of the instructors at your chosen reformer Pilates studio, it’s important to look at their credentials. All instructors should hold a reputable Pilates certification to help keep you safe. This training means they understand anatomy and can adapt exercises to your body and any specific needs.
Reputable certifications include ones from Balanced Body, Alan Herdman, Polestar, Body Control Pilates, BASI, STOTT or our very own FOLD Academy.
It’s also worth checking how big their classes are. Smaller groups mean more personal attention and feedback, helping you refine your technique and progress more quickly.
Location
It’s often easier to get going if where you’re going is close to you. Don’t make yourself work harder than you need to. If your studio is conveniently located close to your home or work and classes happen at a time that fits your lifestyle, it’s going to be easier for you to stay consistent.
Price
Introductory offers and trial classes allow you to experience the studio, instructors and equipment before you commit to a long-term package. Compare a few studios around you to see what they offer as a first-timer and also take a look at how their memberships or class packs stack up too.
