How the hour goes
Classes are planned rather than made up on the spot, so this is roughly what you can expect.
Ten minutes before
You arrive, we say hello and check how you’re feeling today. Shoes off, grip socks on.
The first five minutes
Lying on the carriage, breathing, finding your starting position. Nothing strenuous at all. This is where we set your springs.
The next fifteen
Footwork against the foot-bar, pushing the carriage away and controlling it back. It’s the backbone of the class, and it’s where you’ll first feel what the springs do.
The middle twenty
Arm and leg work with the straps, and some work through your middle. We change the springs between exercises and show you how.
The last ten
Slower work and stretching, still on the bed. Then we tidy the equipment away and off you go.
We’ll talk youthrough it
You’ll have someone guiding you from the first movement to the last, so there’s nothing to work out on your own. Everyone else is wrapped up in their own carriage, and you’ll be wrapped up in yours.
We won’t ask you to demonstrate anything or single you out. Just follow along, and ask whenever you’d like to.
If you lose track
You will at some point, and it honestly doesn’t matter. We talk through every movement while it’s happening, so you can follow along by ear as much as by eye. If you fall behind, just stop, watch for one repetition, and join back in.
