Getting Started

Pilates By The Green

Joining is easy

New to Pilates?

If you’re a complete beginner, or only have a little experience, our Introductory Pilates options are the perfect way to get started. You can choose between Private Classes for one-to-one guidance, or join a Group Intro Course. Whichever path you choose, you’ll learn the fundamentals in a welcoming, supportive environment. We’ll help you build confidence, improve movement, and set a strong foundation for your Pilates journey. If you already have some experience, you may be recommended an Initial Assessment Lesson to help place you in the most suitable group.

One-to-One

Private Intro Course

In depth course of 5 individual lessons. This course is particularly aimed at those who prefer more focused attention, who require some specific help, or who don’t have much flexibility in their schedule. We will ensure you get the correct balance of exercises suited to your body.
This introductory course allows us to:

Go through an initial consultation
Evaluate your posture
Explain the principles of Pilates
Identify which exercises will benefit your body (and which will not)
Familiarise you with the equipment
Ensure that you exercise safely and within your own limits

Course Duration: N/A

Cost of Course: £365 (or £78 per lesson)

Class of 5

Group Intro Course

This course will lay a solid foundation for good pilates practice, as well as getting you familiar with the large pilates machines in the studio. The course aims to ready you for joining one of our group classes.

The course is more general than the private introductory course and more suitable if you don’t have any major body issues to consider. We have a maximum of 5 attendees so there is still a high degree of supervision.

We run these courses periodically. If you’re interested then please get in touch for further details.

Course Duration: 4 weeks

Cost of Course: £120

Initial Assessment

What if I have experience?

If you have experience, then an initial assessment lesson would be the first step. This is an individual lesson to work out your level and which groups would be most suitable. (In certain circumstances, most commonly lack of experience or injury, you may be asked to do more individual lessons)

Course Duration: 55 minutes

Cost of Session: £78

The skill, expertise and quality of every class or private session I have attended has been absolutely exceptional. I am forever leaving a class thinking about when I can come back. A true local gem!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently discovered this beautiful new studio in East Finchley, and my only regret is that I didn’t discover it sooner! Each Pilates teacher I’ve had since joining has been excellent…the best I’ve ever come across. I’ve done Pilates on and off for years, but it’s only since finding this studio that I’ve felt my body has truly been given what it needs. I’m so grateful and so happy to have found such a team of passionate professionals and to do Pilates in such an airy, light filled space. A true neighborhood gem!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been doing pilates at Pilates by the Green since they opened in Hampstead Garden Suburb, at least 12 years ago. The staff are all highly qualified, friendly and very helpful. Classes are fun and the team are all very professional.
Definitely highly recommend the team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Pilates studio. I have been attending sessions with Tarun, Suneeta and the team for about fifteen years. The sessions are safe and very effective. The entire team of instructors are professional, knowledgable, and experienced in taking note of individual health concerns. My bad back, for which two surgeons advised surgery (they always do!) is a thing of the past and I am am much more flexible than i was 20 years ago.

The studio is clean, well run, well equipped and friendly. Covid precautions are excellent. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pilates by the Green is an exceptionally professional set up.  The equipment and studio are always spotlessly clean and well maintained.  Tarun and Suneeta have made sure that all Covid precautions are strictly adhered to.  They and all the teachers are highly qualified.  The standard, quality and frequency of the sessions is excellent. They cater for individual needs and provide a consistently high standard of Pilates classes. I recommend them most strongly.
