FAQs
Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. Southsea is the heart of Portsmouth's Reformer Pilates scene, with beginner-friendly options at Studio 44 (Foundations classes) and Everybody Pilates (fundamentals and beginner Pilates classes). Most Southsea studios strongly recommend starting with a dedicated Foundations or beginner session before progressing to intermediate group classes.
-
Everybody Pilates Southsea teaches Classical Pilates on authentic Gratz equipment, following Joseph Pilates' original sequencing and apparatus work (Mat, Reformer, Tower, Chairs, Barrels). Studios like Studio 44 lean more contemporary, with dynamic reformer flows, Hot Mat, and strength-focused classes. Trying both styles is the best way to find what suits your body and goals.
-
Many Portsmouth studios offer pay-as-you-go credit packs, lunchtime classes (Studio 44 runs £10 lunchtime sessions), and flexible memberships that suit shift workers, Navy personnel, and university students. Look for studios with app-based booking systems that let you cancel up to 4 hours before class for maximum flexibility around changing schedules.
-
Yes. Studio 44 Southsea runs dedicated Mums on Mat classes, and several Portsmouth studios offer postnatal-safe reformer sessions with modifications for pelvic floor, diastasis recti, and C-section recovery. A GP sign-off (typically at your 6 to 8 week check) is required before starting, and most studios recommend a 1:1 consultation first.
-
Yes, grip socks are mandatory at most Portsmouth Reformer Pilates studios for hygiene and safety on the carriage. If you don't own a pair, most studios (including Studio 44 and Everybody Pilates) sell them at reception for £10 to £15. Wear fitted, stretchy clothing and bring a water bottle, as reformer classes are more dynamic than mat-based Pilates.
