Our Pilates
Sessions & How They Work
Every client's Pilates journey looks a little different, but it always begins in the same place: one-on-one with Eve.
Your Path
A Practice Built Around You
At ME Pilates, the practice is built around the body in front of us. We consider your movement experience, any injuries or limitations, and the demands of your daily life, work or sport. From there, we create a pathway to help you move with greater awareness, control and efficiency.
As your practice develops, you will be encouraged to take more ownership of it by remembering your exercises, refining your technique and learning how the Pilates system works across the full range of apparatus.
Getting Started
Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new to Pilates or returning with previous experience.
All new clients begin with private sessions. This gives Eve the opportunity to see how you move, introduce you to the foundational exercises and familiarise you with the equipment before you join a group.
Consistency is an important part of the Pilates method. For the best results, we recommend practicing at least twice a week. Sessions are reserved as an ongoing weekly commitment, rather than offered as casual or drop-in classes.
Private Sessions
Private sessions offer 55 minutes of one-on-one time with Eve, with the session shaped entirely around you.
They are ideal if you are new to Pilates, returning to movement after an injury, working towards a specific goal or simply prefer individual attention.
For experienced clients, private sessions also offer the opportunity to deepen their practice, refine their technique and explore more advanced work with Eve's full attention.
Group Sessions
Group sessions are where you begin to take greater ownership of your Pilates practice while continuing to receive individual guidance.
You will work across the complete Pilates system, using the Reformer, Chairs, Cadillac, Tower, Barrels, Mat and small apparatus according to what supports your practice.
Groups are limited to a maximum of four clients. This allows Eve to continue teaching each person individually while everyone benefits from the energy and motivation of practising alongside others.
Eve will encourage and support you to join a group as soon as you feel ready, taking into account your experience, confidence and personal preference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. Complete beginners are welcome at ME Pilates. Everyone begins with private sessions, allowing Eve to introduce the foundational exercises and equipment at a pace that feels comfortable.
Classical Pilates teaches the method as a complete and interconnected system, using the traditional exercises, sequences and apparatus developed by Joseph Pilates. The exercises build on one another, while each apparatus offers a different way to support, challenge and develop the body. The method is adapted to the person while maintaining the purpose and connections within the original system.
Contemporary Pilates is a broad term encompassing many approaches inspired by Joseph Pilates’ original work. Teachers and studios may make different choices around the exercises, sequencing, equipment and style of teaching.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Activewear or regular gym clothing is ideal. Please bring a water bottle. Socks are optional if you prefer to exercise in them.
A gym Reformer class generally uses the Reformer as the setting for a group fitness class. At ME Pilates, the Reformer is one part of a complete method.
Your practice may include the Reformer and Mat, Cadillac, Tower, Chairs, Barrels and small apparatus. Each piece has a different purpose, but they all work together as part of the same system. Your practice is centred on the integration of the movement system as a whole, with each apparatus offering a different way to explore and develop it.
In most cases, yes. Because sessions are taught individually, the practice can often be adapted around injuries, movement limitations and other health considerations.
Please let Eve know about any injuries or health concerns before beginning. You should not attend if you have a contagious illness or if a healthcare professional has advised that Pilates or physical activity is currently unsuitable for you.
Pilates can often be continued during pregnancy unless your doctor or healthcare professional advises otherwise. Please let Eve know that you are pregnant so your practice can be adjusted as needed.
ME Pilates is not a pregnancy-specialised studio. Before returning to Pilates after giving birth, you will need clearance from your healthcare professional to resume physical activity.
A public car park is located behind the studio, with both one-hour and all-day parking spaces available. Street parking and other nearby public car parks are also available.
The studio’s main entrance is accessible, but there are two small steps inside the studio. Please contact us before your visit if you require assistance or would like to discuss your access needs.
