What if I haven't tried Pilates before?

Welcome! Genesia Pilates is a great place to start. It is a boutique style studio, with small class sizes. I am patient, compassionate and understanding. I take my time to get to know you and understand your needs and goals. I help you feel comfortable and confident.

What is a boutique Pilates studio? Is it expensive?

Boutique Pilates studios (like Genesia Pilates) offer smaller class sizes for a more personalised approach to teaching the Pilates method. There are less group classes and more programming to suit the individual. A boutique studio also offers more than just matwork and reformer Pilates – we offer classes that use a variety of Pilates equipment (small and large).

This means you receive the full benefits of a complete Pilates experience. I work hard to ensure you receive a boutique experience at an affordable price. The cost of my classes compare favourably with larger studios – you receive higher quality instruction and smaller class sizes for the same or similar price as a larger studio.

Is Pilates safe?

Pilates is great for everyone from children to pregnant women to athletes to the elderly and everything in between. Pilates is often recommended by doctors and physios and promoted as a safe form of exercise.

The exercises (or repertoire) we choose varies depending on who is in front of us. Your instructor needs to know you as an individual. Pilates is safe for almost everyone, but not all exercises are safe for every individual. Different injuries or conditions will determine whether an exercise is safe for you.

A well trained instructor and small class sizes help ensure your Pilates workout is safe for you.

My equipment classes have two people per class so I get to know you as an individual and build programs that accommodate your needs.

I hold a Diploma level qualification, which required hundreds of hours of training in the Pilates method and on all the main pieces of Pilates equipment. I understand how to adapt programs to suit your needs and keep you safe.

If you have complex medical needs that are beyond my scope of practice, I will refer you to an appropriately qualified specialist who can help manage your needs.
