Getting Started

If you are new to Cobham Pilates, depending on your level of experience and how you would like to begin, we have a few ways for you to get started!

If you are a TOTAL Beginner, we suggest you start with a private lesson to get an idea of what Pilates can offer you, to experience Mat, Reformer, Tower and the other studio equipment, and to decide the way forward for you!

The exception to this is that we offer 6 to 8 Week Beginner Reformer Blocks that are designed for total beginners. These Beginner blocks have set start dates and run for 6-8 consecutive weeks (depending on the length of the term). They normally start at the beginning of each school term and again directly after the half term breaks. The block has a special Introductory Offer of £25 per class. Get in touch with the studio via the email link below for dates, times and the next starting dates.

If you have prior experience in group Pilates classes – Mat, Reformer or Tower – then you can book into your first class via the BOOK ONLINE button above or the Cobham Pilates APP.  We request that you please read the descriptions of the levels and book into the level that is appropriate for your experience and ability.  For Tower, you must first book a DROP IN ALL LEVELS class,  for Mat and Reformer you can book based on your experience and ability level. If in doubt reach out and we will advise you!

If you have an injury or a condition that limits your movement, then you need to book an introductory private lesson to be assessed in order to determine the best route for your Pilates journey. We can work with almost any injury or condition in a private lesson setting but not all injuries or movement limitations can be managed in a group class.  Private lessons are arranged via email.

In all cases, it is usually best if you get in touch either via email or by phone so we may chat through your situation and find the best way forward for you!

Please note that Cobham Pilates is a very inclusive studio, we have clients from 12 – 85 years old, men (lots of them!) and women. Our clients’ abilities range from the extremely injured to the professional athlete, and everything in between.
