Simply wear something that allows you to move freely and that feel comfortable in. Layers are always a good idea so that you feel warm to start and can take layers off when needed. Shoes are not required as Pilates is done in socks or bare feet.

How many times a week should I do Pilates?

We recommend you take classes and sessions at least once week, ideally the same day and time each week. Why? This is because to create a new habit and routine you need to make it as easy and simple as possible, the same session each week allows you to start embedding in a new habit and set yourself up for success.
