about Duet & Group Classes

  • Duet Reformer Pilates is a specialized form of Pilates training designed for 2 individuals. In this session, both participants work together under the guidance of a certified Pilates instructor using a Reformer machine.

    *If you haven't used Reformer, we recommend taking few initial private classes to learn the exercises and how to use the equipment.

    The Reformer is a piece of equipment that provides resistance through a system of springs and pulleys, allowing for a wide range of exercises to be performed targeting various muscle groups.

    Duet Reformer Pilates offers a semi-private setting where participants can receive personalized attention and instruction tailored to their specific fitness goals and needs. It's an effective way to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness in a supportive and motivating environment.

  • You can not cancel your class alone since Duet class already agreed with your partner. You have to cancel your class together with your partner online 24 hours before your class time.

    The new class should still fit in the validity period of your class pack.

    If your partner does not agree with this, unfortunately the class will be deducted from your current card. Your partner will do the class alone.

  • Duet clients must understand that a commitment has been made to their partner- to attend as consistently as possible. By booking and attending Duet Classes, you acknowledge and agree that these classes are scheduled and paid in advance. Therefore, you commit to the schedule that is planned for both participants.

FAQs

about Pregnancy Classes

  • Congratulations on your pregnancy! 🥰 In general, if you were practicing Pilates before becoming pregnant and have your healthcare provider's approval, you can usually continue with modifications as needed.

    However, if you're new to Pilates or have any concerns about safety, it's best to wait until after your first trimester when the risk of miscarriage is lower and your body has had time to adjust to the changes of pregnancy.

  • Generally, as long as you're feeling comfortable and your healthcare provider hasn't advised against it, you can continue practicing Pilates with modifications throughout most of your pregnancy.

  • In the postnatal period, the timing for starting Pilates can vary depending on individual factors such as your overall health, the type of delivery you had (vaginal or cesarean), any complications during childbirth, and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. Typically, it's advisable to wait until you've had your postpartum check-up, which usually occurs around six weeks after a vaginal delivery or eight weeks after a cesarean section. During this check-up, your healthcare provider will assess your recovery and provide guidance on when it's safe to start exercising again.

    After receiving clearance from your healthcare provider, you can generally begin with gentle postnatal Pilates exercises. These exercises are specifically designed to help rebuild core strength, pelvic floor muscles, and overall body conditioning while considering the changes your body has undergone during pregnancy and childbirth.

  • In postnatal Pilates classes, you can expect a focus on rebuilding core strength, pelvic floor stability, and overall body conditioning while addressing the specific needs and changes that occur during the postpartum period. Here are some common elements you might encounter in postnatal Pilates classes:

    1-Core and Pelvic Floor Exercises

    2-Gentle Stretching and Mobility Work:

    3-Breathing Techniques:

    4-Modifications and Adaptations:

    5-Safe Progression

    6-Emphasis on Self-Care

    Overall, postnatal Pilates classes provide a supportive and nurturing environment for postpartum women to safely and effectively rebuild strength, improve posture, and promote overall wellness during this unique phase of life.
