LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY
Level 1 Reformer - Beginners. This class is recommended for participants who are new to Pilates or are less physically active. Learn how to set up a pilates reformer to suit your posture type and height. Experience and try to master the 5 Basic Principles of Stott Pilates and the fundamental exercises at a steady pace with easy to follow choreography concentrating on torso stabilisation, realigning the spine, increasing strength, improving mobility, and toning arms and legs. We suggest those new to Pilates do approximately up to eight Level 1 Beginners classes before moving onto Level 2 Intermediate classes. Everyone is different, so please chat to your instructor if you think you are ready to move up a level sooner.
Level 2 Reformer - Advanced Beginner to Intermediate. This class is suitable for Advanced Beginners to Intermediate level participants who wish to transition to an advanced class. Classes are a combination of Open Level and Intermediate exercises focusing on the 5 Basic Principles of Stott Pilates , as well as challenging the body in terms of strength, agility, endurance and co-ordination. A minimum of four to eight Beginner classes are recommended to ensure you can correctly set up your reformer and hold neutral position effectively to suit your posture and height.
Level 3 Reformer - Advanced. A class suitable for participants who have physically demonstrated a sound understanding of the Basic Principles and are more physically active. Higher choreographed exercises are chosen to challenge your co-ordination, stability, balance, endurance, strength and speed. Prerequisites are a minimum of 8 Level 2 classes or equivalent Pilates reformer experience.
Cardio Exercises. This is NOT a separate class but cardio exercises on the reformer may be requested at any class level. Cardio exercises class focus on increasing your heart rate and stabilising your core while strengthening your muscles with a combination of interval sets on the Pilates reformer and jumpboard.

"Woke up this morning feeling like someone had strapped on a super tight corset under my skin, from pelvis to top of my ribs. Bad? Definitely not, the amazing instructors at Aware have rebuilt my body over the past 6 months from me not even being able to go up on tip toe due to nerve damage in my back to now being able to Sumo squat on the balls of my feet and do tricep curls at the same time. I stand taller and back pain has reduced significantly, surgery is no longer imminent. Can not recommend Aware Health Pilates enough for building core strength and giving me a new lease on life."
