How many people can attend each class?
Our studio has the capacity to accommodate 5 people in a reformer class and we will be adding another two reformers in September.
What do I need to know for my first class?
Please arrive 10 minutes early to your first class. This will allow you time to meet your instructor and familiarise yourself with the studio and the Allegro 2 Reformer Bed. If you are late to class you may not be able to train. Let your instructor know of any past or present injuries so that they can provide modifications for you. We provide tap water for you to refill your water bottles.
I have never done Pilates before. Should I join a group fitness class?
That depends on the individual. Although the class can be quite intense, classes are broken down using simple exercises so all individuals get the most out of their workout. Our classes are suitable for most ages, sizes, genders and athletic abilities and we offer modifications to suit.
Can I still do Coco Studio pilates if I have an injury?
If you have chronic back pain, are coming back from an injury or are pregnant, a one-on-one session with a Physiotherapist prior to attending a group class would be recommended. Please contact sally@cococollective.co.uk and we can refer you to our physio partner, Step Up Rehab, for 20% off a physio appointment prior to class.
Do I need to be fit to attend a class at Coco Studio?
No. Our classes are suitable for most ages, sizes, genders and athletic abilities and we offer modifications to suit. Classes are broken down using simple exercises so each client can work at their own pace. It is low impact and easy on the joints, however don’t be fooled, this is a group fitness class in which you will work hard! During class, it’s normal for the muscle group you’re working to shake and burn. That’s a good thing!
What do I wear to class?
Wear comfortable clothes you can sweat, stretch and move in. We recommend gym leggings or shorts and either a t-shirt or singlet top. We also encourage grip socks to be worn. Not only is it more hygienic, but you will be able to grip the Reformer bed better with your feet, making it easier for you to do the exercises properly. Grip socks are available for purchase here at the studio, but you are also welcome to bring your own grip socks.
Is there any free parking?
There is free parking available in nearby streets. Best to plan ahead and suss out the parking prior to your first visit. We recommend arriving early just in case parking in the area is busier than usual. Out of office hours tends to be pretty quiet on the streets. If you can’t find a free parking space, you can park at one of the council car parks which are very reasonably priced.
What facilities do you offer?
We provide drinking water, a bathroom, and you can purchase chilled drinks from our fridge.
Can I transfer or share sessions?
Unfortunately no. We are unable to transfer or share classes to a family member or friend. If you are unable to use your classes for a medical or other reason please contact us and we will find a solution for you.
What if my class is cancelled?
In the unlikely event we cancel a class, we will notify you immediately. The class will be placed back into your account.
Can I bring my phone into the studio during class?
You are welcome to bring your phone into the studio. We ask that your phone is switched to silent mode during class. Please note that if you choose to bring your phone into the studio, it is at your own risk. We love you to share your Coco experiences on social media. Be sure to tag us @cocoflowyoga.
How often should I come to Coco Studio?
How often you train will depend on your fitness level, what your fitness goals are, how your body adapts to the training and how well your body can recover. We recommend starting with no more than two to three classes per week and then we can always dial it up from there.
