First Timers
New to Slow Burn? Welcome. Here's everything you need to know before your first class, so you can walk in feeling ready.
Choosing your first class
- New to Pilates? Mat Pilates Classic focuses on the foundations: breathing, alignment and control. It's a lovely place to start.
- Curious about Reformer? Our mixed-ability Reformer classes have just 8 places, and your teacher will show you how the machine works and help you set it up.
- Looking for strength? Full Body Strength is beginner-friendly. You don't need to have lifted weights before.
- Want something slower? Wendy's Midweek Mellow brings together meditation and gentle somatic movement at an unhurried pace.
- New parent? Evie's Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga lets you move with your baby alongside you.
Start with our Intro Month
The best way to begin is our Intro Month for £79: 4 Reformer classes plus up to 12 mat Pilates, barre, yoga and strength classes for your first month. It's for new clients only, with no commitment, and near the end we'll help you choose the membership that suits you.
Prefer to try a single class? A studio drop-in is £16 and a Reformer drop-in is £24. Find a time on our Schedule and book online. Places are limited, so we recommend booking ahead.
Before you arrive
- Arrive around 5 minutes early for your first class so we can show you around.
- Wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in, and bring a water bottle.
- Grip socks are required for Reformer classes. Forgotten yours? You can buy a pair at the studio.
- Let your teacher know about any injuries, health conditions or pregnancy before class starts.
- Every movement can be adapted, and you can take a break whenever you need one.
- Need to cancel? Please let us know at least 12 hours before class so someone else can take your place.
