“Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things” - Joseph Pilates -

Initial Assessment

All new clients are invited to a 60 minute initial assessment and introduction session. During this first lesson I will ask some questions about your medical history and we can discuss any particular health problems or concerns you may have. I will also look at your posture and assess any joints or areas that need special attention. It is helpful if you bring a list of any medication you are currently taking.

We will then begin with some exercises to see how you move and introduce you to the Pilates equipment, including the Reformer. Even if you have done Pilates before you will need an introductory session as it allows me to design a programme specifically for you and it can be very useful to revisit the basic principles of Pilates.

You can book your initial assessment as a single session or choose a Starter Pack, which includes your assessment plus three private sessions at a reduced rate.

Prior physio & Pilates in Stone, Staffordshire, offers a fully equipped Pilates Studio with one to one teaching. Whether you are completely new to Pilates or looking for Pilates tailored to your individual needs, the initial assessment is the best place to start. I look forward to welcoming you to the studio.

Private Sessions

Private Pilates sessions are the ultimate way to reach your goals and give you an hour to yourself, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Each session is tailor made for you, and you will have the studio and your teacher all to yourself. Sessions can be adjusted on the day to suit how your body feels or what you need most.

You will enjoy working in our modern and welcoming Pilates Studio in Stone, Staffordshire, using the full range of equipment including the Reformer. With 30 years experience as a Pilates teacher and more than 10 years as a physiotherapist, I am passionate about creating safe and effective programmes that are built around you. My absolute strength is finding the right exercises for your body and tailoring them so we achieve the results you are looking for — whether that is building strength, improving flexibility, recovering from injury, or simply feeling better in your own body.

Physiotherapy rehabilitation sessions are also booked as private studio sessions and follow the same process. During your initial assessment we will discuss your needs and plan a programme that supports you in reaching your goals.

Private Pilates sessions are our signature offering and it is what we do best. Every exercise is hand picked for you and your body. These sessions will truly help you create the body you want.

Circuit Sessions

These are Pilates Circuit sessions with 3 clients rotating around the equipment in the studio.

These are suited for those who are largely injury-free and able to work independently. This is not a ‘taught’ class, but rather a great way for you to come and practise the exercises you already know.

You will need a minimum of 5 Private Pilates sessions before joining the Circuits.

It’s like going to the gym, but Pilates studio style!

These sessions run in 6 or 7 week blocks every term (depending on the length of the school term), and must be booked as a course.

Bookings are made after discussion with your Pilates teacher and are subject to availability.

Zoom Class

A 55 minute mixed-level Pilates class, delivered online on Zoom. Working on the fundamental Pilates repertoire, with some challenging moves thrown in, this class will make you feel lengthened, toned and stretched from top to toe.

No need to walk through town on a cold dark night, just join me on Zoom and say hi to everyone on the screen. You can do the class in your pyjamas if you like (highly recommended), and roll straight into bed after. A feel-good Pilates class to start your week off right.
You can book from week to week with no commitment to a long block of classes, and will receive your Zoom link to your inbox at least 1 hour before class commences.

Please note that there are some conditions that are not suitable for this class, and these are listed below. If you are unsure whether this class is for you, just get in touch via email to discuss.

I hope to see you on the mat!
