Lunchtime Express
This is a shorter class (reformer) of 40 minutes designed for those who enjoy a lunchtime workout. However, if all those participating in the session do not need to rush off the class will be extended to the usual 50 mins duration.
All our classical Pilates principles still apply. To purchase this class select the Lunchtime Express option from the package selections.
