I've tried physio, chiro, osteo and the gym — is Applied Pilates different? Yes — this is exactly the situation many clients come from. The £85 movement assessment is specifically designed to understand your condition, history, and limitations before a single exercise is prescribed. As a result, the right exercises are chosen for your body from day one. If you're unsure, call 07734 578959 before booking.
Is this suitable if I've been told to avoid exercise? Yes — this is exactly the situation many clients come from. The £85 movement assessment is specifically designed to understand your condition, history, and limitations before a single exercise is prescribed. If you're unsure, call 07734 578959 before booking.
How is Applied Pilates different from a regular class or gym? A standard Pilates class uses a fixed programme for everyone in the room. Applied Pilates is built around your specific movement assessment findings. As a result, every exercise is chosen because it's appropriate for your body — not because it fills a class plan. In addition, the studio is capped at 7 clients, so Teejay knows your history personally.
What actually happens in the £85 movement assessment? A 60-minute 1-to-1 session with Teejay. He'll take a full history of your pain, injuries, and previous treatments. Then he'll assess your movement patterns, flexibility, and strength — on and off the Reformer. At the end you'll have a clear picture of what's happening and an honest recommendation. No obligation to continue — but most clients do.
Can I go straight to small group sessions without doing 1-to-1s first? No — and this is intentional. The assessment and initial 1-to-1 sessions ensure Teejay understands your body, your history, and your movement patterns before you join a group. Because of this, it protects you and the other clients in the session. Most clients complete at least a 3-session starter block before transitioning to group sessions.
What is the cancellation policy? Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged in full. Memberships require 30 days written notice to cancel. Session blocks are valid for their stated period (8 weeks for 3-session, 16 weeks for 6-session, 14 weeks for 10-session group block) and unused sessions within that period are forfeited.
I've tried Pilates before and it didn't help. Why would this be different? Not all Pilates is the same. There's a significant difference between a group fitness class marketed as Pilates and a rehabilitation-informed programme built around a clinical assessment. If a previous programme didn't help — or made things worse — it's almost certainly because the exercises weren't chosen specifically for your condition. That's exactly why Applied Pilates does things differently.
Your £85 movement assessment is a 60-minute 1-to-1 with Teejay. He'll assess how you move, explain what he finds, and give you a clear, honest plan. No generic advice. No obligation to continue.
