Private classes are available for those who prefer a one-on-one setting, with a postural analysis and a bespoke programme created using mat and machine exercises.
No prior experience or assessment is required for private classes. Duet classes are designed for friends or partners, with bespoke programmes for both individuals. These classes combine mat and machine work and do not require prior experience or assessment.
