Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes Lumiere Pilates different is the size and quality of attention in every session. With just three reformers per class, I am able to offer a truly personalised approach, tailoring each session to clients in front of me rather than teaching to a large mixed group, from complete beginners through to experienced clients.
Sessions are one hour long and focus on correct alignment and strong foundations, building strength.control, muscle tone amd bone density in a safe and progressive way.
Our space is welcoming and inclusive of everybody, where a sense of community naturally builds over time. Our teaching style is warm and encouraging, while remaining structured and focused.
My background in avaiation customer service and leadership for over 35 years, has shaped how I work with people, being able to read the room and ensuring every client feels at ease while still being properly guided and challenged.
With time between sessions, clients are not rushed, allowing space to transition calmly and reset after their session if they wish.

Please wear fitted, comfortable clothing and grip socks for hygeine and safety on the reformer. Avoid loose ties, zips or oversized tops that may get caught in the equipment. Please tie loose hair back during reformer sessions.
All equipment is provided along with hair ties. You may wish to bring a water bottle so you can rehydrate throughout the session and there is space to sit and reset before or after the session if needed.

Welcome to Lumiere Pilates and thank you for choosing us.
All new clients to reformer regardless of being new, or experienced, are required to complete a health form before booking so I can be aware of any injuries or conditions. If you have any questions about any part of it, we can discuss them in detail right at the start of our session, or contact us for a chat before hand.
We are comitted to protecting your personal information in line with the UK GDPR and the DATA PROTECTION ACT 2018.
Again, regardless of being new to reformer or having had previous reformer experience all clients new to Lumiere Pilates will do a 75 minute Induction session before moving on to the next sessions. The initial session consists of a 15 minute Induction, which introduces you to the reformer and the fundamentals before taking you through an hour long Awakening session (foundational and alignment) session where you will be guided and supported every step of the way. We recommend you do at least two more Awakening sessions before moving on, however if you are experienced on the reformer you may progress onto the Evolve sessions after your Induction.
If you have more complex injuries or specific needs, we recommend starting with a private session.

Just bring yourself, gripsocks and a water bottle to hydrate throughout the session. Leave the rest to us.

Please arrive 10 minutes before your session starts to allow you to settle in before we start. The door will be closed at the start time and late entry wil not be permitted, this is to protect clients safety whilst exercising and overall enjoyment.
