Frequently
asked
questions
How do I book?
Booking is made by filling in the Contact Us Form or by emailing flowpilatesbristol@gmail.com. If there is availability, you will be invited to a taster session. Some classes may be fully booked and if this is the case you can be added to the waiting list to be contacted when a space becomes available.
How much does it cost?
Classes are bookable as terms that run in line with the school terms and are usually around 5-7 weeks long. Each class costs £11 and is payable via BACS at the beginning of each term. If you miss a class, you are welcome to make up the class on another day within the same term. Missed classes do not roll over to the next term. Payment is required to reserve your space for every term.
What do I need to bring?
You will need to bring your own mat, but all other equipment is provided by me. I recommend a 10 mm thick mat and these can be bought cheaply online. Some people prefer a thin Yoga mat and this is down to personal preference. Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for exercising. A pair of sticky Pilates/Yoga socks that grip or barefoot are recommended for classes. It is a good idea to bring a water bottle, especially if it is hot.
How long are the classes?
Classes are 55 minutes long. Please arrive on time for the start of class. If it is your first session, please give yourself plenty of time to find the venue and I will chat to you before and after class to answer any questions you may have. There are toilet facilities and access to water available at all the venues for you to use if required.
Can I park at the venue?
There is free on street parking available at each of the venues. Parking can sometimes be busy on the roads surrounding the community centres, but it is usually possible. Walking or cycling is your easiest method of getting to class.
I have an injury, can I attend your class?
Depending on the type or severity then it is often a good idea to see a GP or movement specialist such as a Physiotherapist or Osteopath who can prescribe specific exercises for your injury. This can help ascertain what movements may be helpful or need to be avoided during class. Pilates can be a useful adjunct to exercises given by a Doctor, Physio or Osteopath and can often be a useful way to help rehabilitate from injury. Modified versions of exercises can be given during class to help build up slowly and grow confidence.

“I love going to Sarah's class because she is able to use both contemporary and classical pilates exercises and techniques to suit the bodies in the room. It's a lovely, friendly environment and we always have a laugh whilst we are exercising.”
