Equipment

What should I wear to class?

Trousers/Leggings
Trousers/ leggings should not be too baggy. The teacher needs to see your body to check your alignment whilst doing the exercises.

If wearing leggings, please make sure they aren’t see-through! You spend a fair amount of time on your back with your legs in the air! White underwear, or no underwear, with see-through leggings… need we say anymore!

It is also wise to regularly inspect your leggings for holes and wear and tear to protect your dignity.

Avoid anything with zips, or buttons which might be uncomfortable to lie on.

Shorts
Yes its fine to wear shorts to Pilates!

As with leggings, be aware that you be spending time on your back with legs in the air, please wear something close fitting and supportive underneath your shorts if they are loose fitting.

Tops
A t-shirt is fine, perhaps with a sweat shirt (or Precision Pilates Studio hoody 😉) over it until you have warmed up.

Make sure any top you wear is not too baggy, again, the teacher needs to see your body alignment while moving, however, it doesn’t need to be skin tight.

For women, we would recommend not wearing anything too low cut, for some exercises you will be lying on your front raising your upper body.

Shoes and Socks
During Pilates you don’t wear shoes, only to get to the class! Please store your shoes (and outdoor clothing) in the boxes provided when you arrive at the studio.

We have a ‘wear socks’ policy in the studio, this is for hygiene reasons and to prevent slipping. Please wear non-slip/grippy socks throughout your Pilates workout.
