SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

  • Please arrive a few minutes early at your first class to complete a written health questionnaire before you start and again anually to update your details. Some conditions, illnesses, and injuries may require you to visit your GP, Physiotherapist or other health professional prior to starting or continuing with exercise. You may download the health questionnaire to complete in advance to bring with you to class or email to me. Download Health Questionnaire
  • There is a separate health questionnaire for children under the age of 16. This must be completed and then signed by a parent/guardian who must accompany the child at all classes, unless otherwise specified. Download Under 16 Health Questionnaire
  • Please inform me of any recent illnesses, medical conditions, bone or joint problems, or if you are pregnant prior to the class starting each week.
  • Please arrive for the class in plenty of time so that you can complete a suitable warm up for your own safety.
  • To avoid disruption, where possible please switch off or turn to silent, all mobile phones before the start of the class.

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING 

ZUMBA Fitness
  • Comfortable exercise clothing should be worn, such as tracksuit bottoms or leggings and a T-shirt.
  • Please wear suitable exercise shoes, trainers, or dance sneakers.
  • Bring a bottle of water and a towel to lie on or to mop up the sweat!
Pilates
  • Comfortable clothing should be worn, such as tracksuit bottoms or leggings and a T-shirt. It is not essential, but easier for me to check your posture and exercise alignment when your clothing is more fitted.
  • You need to remove your shoes and in Pilates it is best to wear socks for comfort, warmth and to enable you to slide your foot along the mat in certain exercises, if you prefer to exercise with bare feet this is fine and favoured by many, particularly for more advanced Pilates exercises.
  • A few Mats are provided for those who forget their own or don't yet have one, but for your own hygiene and comfort please bring your own soft, non-slip Pilates mat or buy one from me in class if you prefer. I provide blocks, however do feel free to bring a small towel to lie on or to roll up and use as a neck support for your own comfort.
