Where the worry comes from
Nearly every photograph of Pilates online shows somebody folded into an extraordinary shape. It’s a terrible advert for what the practice is actually like, and it puts off exactly the women who’d get the most out of starting.
A real class looks far more ordinary than that. Small, controlled movements, done well, over and over.
We work with the range you’ve got today. It tends to change on its own, without ever being forced.
How the bed helps
The straps hold your arm or leg up for you through a movement, so you can work at a comfortable range without straining to hold a position you can’t yet hold.
And the springs can be set to help you rather than resist you. That’s a real advantage over working on a mat, where gravity is the only setting on offer.

If you can’t reach something, that’s just information for us, not a problem for you to solve by pushing harder. We’ll change the set-up. Stiff mornings, tight hamstrings and shoulders that don’t much fancy going overhead are all completely ordinary in a room like ours.
