How can I book? 

New clients can create an account here. Once that is complete you can book and manage your classes through our timetable tab.

What do I need to bring to yoga?

Please bring your own yoga mat if you have one

It’s my first Reformer class, what do I need to know?

We prefer you to wear leggings or shorts so you can move easily between exercises.

Please bring your own socks to wear on the reformers or you can purchase grippy socks in the studio.

Ensure you arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled class so we can talk you through the reformer machine before we start.

Avoid jewellery, makeup, moisturiser and sunscreen on the reformers. 

Can I come if I have an injury or medical condition? 

As we are a fitness based studio we unfortunately cannot treat or diagnose chronic injuries. For pre-diagnosed injuries/medical conditions we can only assist with your rehabilitation based on medical advice from your medical practitioner. Please get in contact with us before booking into a class to outline the extent of your injury or medical condition.

We will recommend whether you should start with a private session or if you can go straight into a class environment. By letting us know of your injury/medical condition prior to your booked class we can prepare alternative exercises to accommodate you. 

Suitability for our fitness style classes are assessed in the studio or upon discussion with an instructor.

At what age can I start Pilates at Studio Sixteen? 

We recommend being at least 15 years of age. For elderly clients, suitability for our fitness style classes are assessed in the studio or upon discussion with an instructor. Please note our gentle reformer class is seasonal. See our reformer classes tab for dates.

Can I eat a meal before my pilates or yoga class? 

Try to avoid eating a heavy meal within 1 to 2 hours of your class to ensure you can properly activate your core during exercises. You know your body best so trust your gut! Literally. 

Waitlist

If a class is fully booked you can select to waitlist. If someone cancels and you are next in-line, you will take their spot and a pass will be deducted from your account. Please note it is up to you to check the app up to 30 minutes before the class starts to see whether you have secured a spot. If you are waitlisted but can no longer attend you will still need to cancel your waitlist. If you do not cancel and you secure a spot in the class your pass will be deducted.

Cancellations

No shows and client cancellations less than 12 hours prior to a scheduled booking will be charged. Cancellations not less than 12 hours of the scheduled booking will receive the class concession back unless it has reached its expiry from date of purchase. Please refer to our terms and conditions of trade for more information. 

Expiries

All concession passes are strictly valid for 6 months from date of first use, all intro passes are valid for 1 month from first use and our recuring passes have either a 1 week or 4 week expiry. Please refer to our terms and conditions of trade for more information.

If I am pregnant or have recently had a baby can I do reformer pilates?

Yes, we have a pre & post natal class. We strongly advise seeking medical clearance from your doctor prior to returning to exercise. Before you book it is important for us to have a conversation to assess whether the class will be appropriate for you and so we know what areas to focus on and where to avoid. Please get in touch with us via email to discuss further.  

If I am pregnant can I do yoga?

Unfortunately this class is not suitable for pregnant clients who are new to their yoga practice.

How many classes should I be doing a week? 

Everyones bodies are different but we do recommend doing 2 or more classes a week to see results. As with any exercise, your habits outside of the studio will also have an effect on how fast you see improvements. 

What if I am feeling really unfit? 

We have all been there! Don’t doubt your ability, just take it at your own pace. This is a judgement free studio where progression is more important than perfection. If you need to take breaks during class we encourage you to do so.
