FAQ
- What should I know before my first group class?
Our Group Pilates sessions offer a dynamic and supportive environment where participants can enjoy the benefits of Pilates in a communal setting. These sessions cater to all fitness levels and provide a well-rounded workout that enhances strength, flexibility, and overall wellness. Working out in a group fosters a sense of community and motivation, encouraging participants to stay committed.
You are welcome to join us at any class described as Level 1 or Beginners. Arrive 5 minutes prior so you can explain to your teacher any conditions you may have or goals you’d like to achieve. We provide all the equipment, so just bring yourself, a bottle of water, and a smile! Comfortable, not baggy gym attire is recommended, with no zippers or accessories. Wear a pair of clean socks, as no shoes are needed. For your own safety, please do your best to arrive on time. If you are more than 10 minutes late, teachers may deny you access to the class and charge it as a no-show. Please take a look at our cancellation policy. Reservations not canceled 24h prior will be charged the full price of the lesson.
- What should I know about Privates?
Privates are requested for anyone with a specific condition that may prevent them from following a full workout (hip, shoulders or back problems, for example). These classes are specifically designed to your own needs and capacities. The rhythm will also be adjusted to provide you the right amount of time to work and rest the muscles.
Privates are also advised for everyone who needs to deepen their own personal experience in the apparatus. They are fun sessions where you can explore new moves that might not be suitable for a group class.
Comfortable, not baggy gym attire is recommended, with no zippers or accessories. Wear a pair of clean socks, as no shoes are needed. Please make sure to arrive 5 minutes before the class. If you are a few minutes late for your Private, the teacher will respect the scheduled hour and finish on time. If you are more than 15 minutes, the teacher may reserve the right to skip the session and charge it as a no-show. Please be aware of our cancellation policy below. Appointments not canceled 24h prior will be charged the full price of the lesson.
- What’s the difference between the Mat and the Reformer?
Both pieces of equipment enrich and complement each other. Our mat is the best in the market: cushy, beautifully worked with a soft fabric, and high. This allows you to move with ease, support, and comfort in all planes. When working on the mat, you use your own body weight and gravity as resistance. The Reformer consists of a carriage attached to springs; these springs closely mimic a muscular contraction. The apparatus addresses specific weaknesses, which in turns balances the body by targeting its weaker or less flexible parts.
- How are the classes designed?
Our classes are given in English and last 50 minutes, in which we cover a variety of exercises that work the full body uniformly. We do Private sessions and small group classes (up to 5 people) to preserve traditional high quality methods of teaching. We believe that individual attention assists our clients in achieving their goals quicker and safer while constantly progressing. Such sessions allow us to tailor the classes around your needs with appropriate levels of difficulty.
- How do I book a class?
You can easily manage your account online by finding Pilates School of Movement on Eversport. It’s the easiest way to book and cancel your classes, as well as to pay. We also accept payment by Card, QR Code Payment or Bank Transfer in our studio. Please notice that classes can only be booked after being paid.
- What’s the cancellation policy?
Please be aware that all appointments and classes are subject to a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you fail to cancel on time you’ll be charged for the full amount of the scheduled session. All packages have an expiration date and are non-refundable. Use Eversports to manage your booking.
- What are the teachers’ principles?
Our sessions are led by experienced instructors who provide detailed guidance to ensure that the exercises are performed safely and effectively. You’ll receive individual attention and modifications to accommodate and tailor your personal fitness level and goals. We’ll encourage you to progress at your own pace while fostering a sense of community and support.
- How do I get there?
We are located just a couple of minutes from the Stop Janson and Faider of tram lines 81, 92, and 97; and about a ten minute walk from Metro lines 2 and 6. Also, soon line 3.
- What are other things to consider?

Be respectful towards yourself, the class, and the instructor. Don’t push your body beyond its current limit. You will get better every time. Keep an open mind on different approaches and discoveries. Be positive and talk openly about any questions or doubts you may have. We are here to support you on your path!
