Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Our All Levels Reformer classes are designed with complete beginners in mind: Liv talks you through the machine, cues every movement and offers easier or harder options, so you work at your own pace. Once you feel at home on the reformer, Intermediate classes move a little faster with more advanced spring work.

A reformer is a Pilates machine with a sliding carriage, adjustable springs, a footbar and straps. The springs add resistance and support to every movement, which builds strength and control with far less impact on your joints than a typical gym session.

Reformer classes use the Pilates machine and its springs for resistance. Barre Flow is ballet-inspired and moves through the barre, the mat and light hand-weights with small, controlled pulses set to music. Both are low-impact and beginner-friendly, and they work well together as two different sessions in your week.

No. Every exercise can be made lighter or more challenging by changing the springs or the range of movement, so the same class works for someone brand new and someone who trains several times a week. Strength and flexibility are what Pilates builds, not what it requires.

Liv teaches at a few studios around the area, and each studio runs its own bookings. Find the class you'd like on the Where I teach list and book through that studio. Prices and cancellation policies are set by each studio, so you'll see them when you book.

Comfortable, close-fitting activewear that lets you move freely: loose clothing can catch on the springs. We recommend grip socks for safety on the reformer. Please leave jewellery that could snag at home.

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early, especially for your first class, so you can settle in and Liv can show you around the reformer before you start.

Most classes last around 50 minutes, and groups are kept small, so there's always time for hands-on adjustments and proper form. Each studio lists its exact times and class sizes when you book.
