Studio Session FAQs
What do I need for a studio session?
You’ll need to arrive wearing suitable fitness clothing. Please do not wear garments with zips, buttons and rivets as these can damage the apparatus. For the same reason, please don’t wear any jewellery (including belly button rings), and avoid wearing heavy make-up or strong perfume.
Socks must be worn in the studio at all times. Socks designed for Pilates or yoga with little rubber patterns on the sole are great, but normal socks will be fine.
Please bring water and a fitness towel if you wish. (No other drinks or food can be brought into the studio.)
What can I expect in a session?
Regardless of which type of session you’ve booked, you’ll be working on the Classical Pilates apparatus. You’ll explore the Classical Pilates exercises with the springs and pulleys of the apparatus providing resistance and control. You can read more about the type of session you’ve booked on the Our Sessions page and about the apparatus on the Our Studio page.
How do I find the studio?
Our address is 85 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield S10 2LG. Based 5 minutes from the city centre, we’re close to the University of Sheffield and Sheffield’s beautiful Botanical Gardens.
There are two parking spaces on the driveway (please park in the two on the left) and lots of on-street metered parking on surrounding streets.
Please take a seat in the waiting area until your teacher comes to find you. If the door is locked, please ring the doorbell.
“I've been doing Pilates classes at Breathe for a couple of years. Really friendly and non-intimidating teachers, I fitted straight in as a complete newbie with a natural loathing of any sort of exercise class. I feel immensely better for my regular Pilates fix - I'm more strong and flexible now in my 50s than I was in my 30s.”
