classes

If it’s your first time doing Pilates, your first step is The Intro Class. Here we can assess your strengths/weaknesses and design your programme for movement freedom.

Following your Intro Class, you can move on to either a pack of private classes or try our Group Equipment Starter Pack.

This starter pack is a pack of 5 GE Classes at a discounted rate. Try it out and see how your body feels with consistent and regular classical Pilates classes with personalised guidance.

If you have any questions, please don’t be shy! During your intro class we can chat and see what you might need the most.

Both the Intro class and the GE starter pack can only be purchased once per client.

Around a century ago, Joseph Pilates designed a comprehensive movement system to be performed on different pieces of equipment, notably the Reformer/ Tower.

Incorporating a chain of pulleys, handles, springs and straps, the apparatus can provide both resistance and support to suit your specific needs as you move through different Pilates movements.

We also have the high barrel, ped ‘o Poll, the Wunda chair, and foot correctors to restore your body’s full movement expression in our fully equipped studio.

Each piece of equipment is specially designed to train different body parts for optimal health and it is true to the classical design.

At SW4 Pilates we keep class sizes small.

You will use a traditional Reformer/Tower machine initially designed by Joseph Pilates as we reprogram your body.

Our comprehensively trained teachers give you feedback in real-time, highlighting your unique weaknesses and malalignments to kickstart profound rehabilitating, strengthening, and injury-preventing effects.

By stabilising and challenging the body with the specially designed apparatus, we recode your muscles, joints and nervous system to build a lifelong foundation for free movement.

Contemporary Pilates can be beneficial, but too often people get lost in busy classes with 20+ people. In this environment, many do not get enough attention from the teacher, and end up cheating the body by performing movements incorrectly.

We stay true to the key principles outlined a century ago by Joseph Pilates to heal our students suffering from chronic pains, niggling injuries and lifelong weaknesses. Plus with extensive experience in rehabilitation and injury prevention we bring modern science and up to date techniques to your workout. Anatomy is a big part of what we do and we make sure to stay up to date with all the recent research.

With more than seven years teaching classical Pilates and a background in Sports Therapy, Chiara has trained elite athletes, professional dancers, and busy professionals seeking to reclaim their body’s hidden vitality. Her team is just as valuable with different and various experience in all sorts off different movement disciplines. You are in safe hands.

Please book your classes thoughtfully. If you need to cancel or reschedule a class, kindly notify us at least 24 hours before the class. Unfortunately, without sufficient notice (less than 24 hours), we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fill your slot, and therefore a class will be deducted from your pack.

Rescheduling: Drop in classes do not expire, when cancelled within our notice period(>24h), you can reschedule them for another time that suits you best.
