Group Classes Explained and How to Book
Reformer Classes
If you are looking for long lean muscles and core strength, then Radiant Reformer classes are for you. Radiant Pilates and Physiotherapy offer six state-of-the-art Reformers for small class reformer sessions.
The Reformer uses springs and pulleys to give you variable resistance to challenge the body’s movement.
Reformer Pilates has many benefits:
Development of long and lean muscle tone.
Improved flexibility and posture.
Increased core strength and pelvic floor strength.
Better body awareness, balance and co-ordination.
Group Physiotherapy Reformer Exercise classes
These classes often utilize the Reformers as part of the class structure. These classes are paid on a term basis to allow time to learn and strengthen as part of your physiotherapy rehabilitation plan. These group classes are a great progression from our Studio Physiotherapy sessions where you are working in a low ration of 1:2 people to allow for ongoing assessment and implementation of the pilates repertoire into your physiotherapy treatment program.
Reassessment on a 1:1 basis is required every term or earlier if indicated (based on your individual goals and plan).
Contact us at the clinic for more information on availability and timetable.
Fitness Reformer Classes
These are a combination from Beginner through to Advanced Reformer classes, aimed at improving core strength and fitness. It works on core stabilisation, which is a building block to good fitness and movement. These classes will provide a full body workout and allow you to gain both strength and flexibility. Variations will be offered, however these classes ARE NOT for those who are injured or recovering from injury - UNLESS they have seen the Physiotherapist prior to booking.
Fitness Pilates classes are held throughout the week in our studio and are currently being run by
Tammy Colleran from TC Massage and Pilates.
Initial Assessments are essential for all new clients to the clinic and can be made directly with Tammy . If you are progressing from our physiotherapy classes or studio programs then you can book directly into classes via her Studio Bookings page. Any specifics that relate to you and your body, we will be able to handover to Tammy at our regular team meetings.
PLEASE NOTE : prior experience is necessary before attending any of the Reformer Classes. Our class numbers are kept small at 6 reformers to ensure we can help each person achieve their goals and to allow us to provide individual cueing and hands on cues as necessary, however it remains a class format and no individual instruction to learn an exercise can be provided.
After your initial session your options will be discussed with you by your instructor or physiotherapist, about whether you are ready to progress directly into a class or to book a Studio Pilates session and learn the fundamentals of the equipment in these formats.
Entry into the Reformer class is at the discretion of the instructor, based on their assessment of the individual's understanding and awareness of their own body and competence on the Reformer. In general, a minimum of three studio sessions before attending a class situation works well to ensure your own safety and correct exercise execution.
Pilates Floor Classes
Mat Pilates uses your own body weight as resistance. Whilst our mat classes are low-impact, they are challenging and a full body workout that assists to strengthen your core, tone the body and increase flexibility.
Total Body Pilates Mat Class
This is a total body workout with the same focus on your control and balanced movement. The varying repertoire available on the mat compared to reformer allows for a flowing class which also allows for people with varying levels of expertise to join and have everyone working to the level they want.
While this class will cater for Beginners , it is not suitable for Clients who are injured or recovering from injury. Pregnant clients will BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT before allowed entry into the class.
Fitness Assessments are still required before attending if you are new to Pilates. Please discuss this when booking if you have attended classes elsewhere in the past, as you may not need an assessment before you start. Entry into this class REMAINS the discretion of the Pilates Instructor and together you may decide that you would benefit from a Studio Pilates session to get the most benefit from these Floor classes.
