Whilst face to face classes are now able to return from the 17th of May 2021, this was something that was not certain until earlier this week, therefore unfortunately we are not in a position to offer face to face classes from this date due to the size and complexity of our operation.
We are therefore planning a staggered return for face to face classes from the 1st of June in order to give us the time to ensure that it is done as fairly and as smoothly as possible.
There is a huge complexity to our new timetable as considerations around infection control and COVID guidelines are going to be apparent for a long while yet.
This means that class numbers still need to be limited and social distancing protocols need to remain in place until government guidelines change. This creates a huge challenge as the changes over the last year mean that we simply cannot offer the same timetable we offered pre-Covid. However, we've got a plan!
Permanent Online Provision.
Our online class provision has grown considerably over the last year, with many clients preferring this platform for its ease, convenience and flexibility around new working patterns. It also provides the added benefit of being able to accommodate more people than we can in the studio due to space limitations, meaning that more people can join our more popular classes. It has also given people who are not local to the area access to our classes, and have seen people joining from France and beyond!
Therefore based on your feedback, it is our intention to keep a substantial permanent online provision for our more popular classes as this will enable us to offer our clients a wider choice of classes into the future.
Face to Face Classes at Denne Parade and Carfax
The initial phase of return of face to face classes will begin with classes that we do not currently offer online. These classes are planned to return from the 1st of June.
- Minimum class numbers will need to be met for any class to return.
- More classes will be introduced over the following months based on demand.
- Our face to face Pilates and Yoga provision will be across both sites and will be held in our new studio at Carfax and our larger studio in Denne Parade only.
- We will no longer be using the small studio in Denne Parade for Face to Face classes.
- Our new timetable will show the location of each class, but may be subject to change based on class popularity and studio availability as we re-open.
Equipment Studio
We are really excited to launch our new equipment studio at Denne Parade from June 2021 which will be now be in our smaller studio at Denne Parade.
Our equipment studio has the latest Pilates Equipment providing a new dimension for pain management, rehabilitation, progression and personal training. These sessions are for individual therapy, with your clinician, instructor, or trainer, but we will also be launching small group sessions held by the clinical team and the Pilates team. These sessions will guide you through a bespoke individualised program for your specific goals, and are great for taking you to a new level.
You will be required to have an initial one to one with your instructor before you can join one of the group sessions, which are pleaed to offer at a special introductory price throughout May, June and July and will get you introduced you to our equipment studio - more about this coming on our website and Facebook.
