What to Expect in Your First Supervised Exercise & Clinical Pilates Session
1. Start with an Initial Assessment
Your first appointment is a 40-minute physiotherapy assessment where we will discuss:
- Your goals and what you want to achieve
- Your exercise history and experience
- Any current or previous injuries
- Your movement and physical capacity
- The most appropriate type and level of exercise for you
- Whether supervised small-group exercise is suitable
- We'll establish your starting point and introduce some appropriate exercises to get you moving safely and confidently.
2. Your Individualised Program
Following your assessment, your physiotherapist will develop an individualised exercise program based on your goals and starting level. Your program may include reformer exercises, bodyweight strength and conditioning, or more advanced loaded exercises depending on your experience and goals.
Your program is not set in stone. We track your progress and adjust your exercises, resistance, repetitions and difficulty as your capacity improves.
3. Choose the right level of supervision
Depending on your assessment, your physiotherapist will recommend the most appropriate option for you.
1:1 Supervised Exercise (40 mins)
Individual sessions are ideal if you require more personalised supervision, are returning from injury, or would benefit from working closely with your physiotherapist.
OR
Small Group Supervised Exercise (45 mins)
Our small groups have a maximum of 3 people and run in 5 week blocks, allowing you to receive individualised guidance while enjoying the motivation and support of exercising alongside others.
Each 5-week block includes:
- One allocated 45-minute session per week
- An individualised exercise program
- Exercise progression tailored to you
- Physiotherapist supervision
- Progress monitoring
- A review at the end of the 5-week block
You won't necessarily be doing the same exercises as the other people in your group. Each person's program is tailored to their individual goals, needs and ability.
What happens after the 5 weeks?
At the end of each 5-week program, your physiotherapist will review your progress and discuss the best next step.
This may include:
- Continuing into another 5-week small-group program
- Continuing with 1:1 supervised exercise
- Progressing towards more independent exercise
- Adjusting your program or exercise pathway
The goal is not simply to keep you attending sessions — it's to help you build the capacity and confidence to keep progressing.
