Red Heart Classes
Red heart classes are back!
Over the next few weeks, you'll see some classes on the timetable have red hearts next to them. These classes need higher attendance to keep them on the timetable.
If you want these classes to stay, show them some love - attend them regularly and encourage others to do the same!

Commencing Monday 4 March
Class Descriptions
Foundation - 45 minutes
This class is the perfect place to start your Reformer Pilates Journey. It’s also great if you are wanting to revisit the principles of the Pilates Method at a slower pace, with more focus on the foundations.
It includes a brief induction to the Reformer Bed followed by exercises designed to improve coordination, core strength, balance, stability and awareness.
Suitable for all ages.
Progression - 45 minutes
This Progressive Reformer Class is an intermediate class, the next step on your Pilates journey!
This class moves at a pace assuming you have a knowledge of Pilates and the equipment. It is a complete workout challenging the whole body, through progressive sequences building on your strength through specific muscle focus. It is our most popular class. Options will be offered to modify or challenge.
We recommend participants should have attended at least three Foundation sessions prior to attending this next level.
Advanced - 45 minutes
A high intensity style Reformer session designed to take your Pilates to the highest level.
Classes focus on endurance with faster paced movements and may include moderate impact moves like jumps, HIIT, as well as resistance training.
We recommend participants come along without injuries, and have 3 months experience with Pilates and the equipment.

Class booking T&Cs
Reformer Pilates Policies
The following policy applies to members who frequent the Reformer Pilates classes at GESAC and Caulfield Recreation Centre:
Cancellation
If you are unable to attend your class, please cancel your booking at least two hours before the class starts. Most classes have waiting lists, and we would like to be able to give as much notice to others if a position in the class becomes available.
Within reason, if a member is consistently not attending a booked class (without cancelling), they may have their online booking access temporarily removed. Warnings and notice will be given before any action is taken. If this happens, members are still able to book classes at reception and all existing bookings will remain.
Late Arrivals
To ensure classes are able to start on time, we ask that you please arrive to class 5 minutes early.
If you arrive after class start time, you will not be able to join - even if the class has not yet started. This policy ensures everyone is treated fairly and minimises disruptions to other participants.
Back-to-back classes
Due to the increasing popularity of Reformer Pilates, we ask that you do not book classes back-to-back (one Pilates class straight after another). We want the classes to be as accessible as possible, so if back-to-back bookings are made, we may remove the second class booking. Please note, you can do back-to-back classes from different programs, but not one Reformer directly after another.
We appreciate your co-operation in these policies.
