SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
- Please arrive a few minutes early at your first class to complete a written health questionnaire before you start and again annually 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,. There is a separate form for children aged under 16. 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

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING
Salsa/Dance 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.
- Mats and blocks are provided, but you may prefer to use a non slip yoga/Pilates mat, if you have one of your own please bring it. Feel free to bring a small towel to lie on or to roll up and use as a neck support for your own comfort.
