Forest Pilates offers a comprehensive timetable of classes for all experience and fitness levels, with sessions held at the Bransgore studio for both mat and equipment classes, and additional mat classes in Pilley. The class range includes Beginners Mat, Intermediate Mat, Advanced Mat, Back Care, and Reformer classes.
With small class sizes, Jo and her team ensure that each client gets personal attention and guidance. They foster a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable and motivated to achieve their fitness goals.
Flexible pricing options are available, including course packages for both mat and equipment classes that range from 5 to 8 weeks, with prices from £65 to £120. For those preferring one-on-one tuition, private lessons are also on offer.
To support flexibility, the online platform ClassSwap is used, allowing clients to cancel and reschedule classes easily. A 24-hour cancellation notice is required for studio and private lessons, with late cancellations potentially subject to full fees. Comfortable, non-baggy clothing and clean socks or bare feet are recommended for classes.
The Forest Pilates team is dedicated to providing high-quality, expert-led classes to help clients strengthen their bodies, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being. Their passion for Pilates and commitment to individual needs make Forest Pilates a trusted choice in the New Forest area.
