i’ve never done reformer pilates before. where do i start?
fIRST OF ALL.. WELCOME to casa! you’re at the right place.
We offer a 15 minute first timer session for newbies. this gives you a chance to understand the basics and determine whether you’re ready to join a group class. it also helps us instructors understand your ability so we can try our best to assist you THROUGHout a class or if you’d prefer a 1:1/small group for more catered guidance.
i’ve done the 15 minute newbie session and im not sure i want to continue.
Said no one ever... but its okay we offer a money back guarantee if you don’t feel its right for you. but i can almost promise you, this wont be the case.
How many classes should i be doing per week?
every persons answer to this question will be different. we recommend you base it off your movement experience.
start with 2-3 times per week if you’re new to reformer pilates and work your way up slowly because before you know it you’re going to become obsessed.
always listen to your mind AND BODY. there will be some days you’re not feeling 100% and thats okay. WE CAN ADJUST YOUR SPRING CHOICES, OR WE CAN SEE YOU LATER IN THE WEEK. ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I’m pregnant/have an injury, am i able to come to classes?
yes and yes! we have precautions suitable to make sure you’re always safe within our space especially when pregnant or presenting an injury. most importantly the tick of approval is required from your doctor before coming to a group class pregnant/with an injury.
you’re in safe hands at casa, come talk to us prior to your sessions so we can make sure you’ class is prepped accordingly.
are memberships locked in contracts?
good news… they’re not! we don’t want you to feel like you have to be here, we want you to want to be here. so if your membership isn’t right for you at any stage you can cancel it, we just ask for 1 week notice.
WHat to expect?
CASA CHECKLIST
arrive TO YOUR SESSION 10 MINUTES EARLY (allow yourself time for parking).
YOUR LOVELY INSTRUCTOR WILL BE WAITING up the stairs TO GREET YOU AND SIGN YOU IN! let them know if you have any injuries or issues with your body prior to your class so they can modify options for you.
head through & pop your belongings away in your pigeonhole. don’t forget to put your phone on silent, the world can wait this is your time to shine.
grab your grippy socks, your water bottle and your towel. socks on & fill that bottle up.
time to venture to your favourite reformer… we all have our prefered spot.
emerse yourself in the experience of a 45 minutes guided reformer pilates session! endorphins will be flowing.
at the end of your session you’ll be handed a wipe to give the reformer and any equipment used a good wipe down before you go.
grab your belongings and make sure you’ve got everything!
on your way out if you enjoyed your class, let your instructor know or maybe write them a review online. instructors put alot of time and effort into planning amazing classes daily and nothing is nicer than a friendly compliment. ps, if you tell them what movement you enjoyed most, they’ll be likely to remember and add them to your next class.
sadly its time to go, but don’t worry because we know we’ll see you soon, ciao for now.
oH NO, IM RUNNING LATE! DOES THIS MEAN I’VE MISSED OUT ON MY CLASS?
hey we get it, PARKING CAN BE HARD, TRAFFIC CAN MAKE YOU LATE OR MAYBE SOMETHING POPPED Up. bUT SADLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE AND THE DOOR IS LOCKED THAT MEANS YOU HAVE MISSED OUT ON YOUR SESSION AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED A NO SHOW FEE.
