    • Intro to Reformer
    • Reformer Beginner

  • How can I book a class?

    Classes can be booked easily through the Eclectic NI app, the Mindbody app/website, or via our website.
    If you experience any booking issues, please get in touch - our team will be happy to help!

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    We operate a 12-hour cancellation policy for all Pilates classes.
    If you cancel within this window, the class pass will automatically return to your account.

  • What if a class is full?

    We use a waitlist system - please join if your chosen class is full. Spaces often become available closer to the time, and you’ll be notified automatically if one opens. Some of our classes are extremely popular, so we recommend booking as far in advance as possible to secure your preferred time and instructor.

  • What should I wear to class?

    Wear comfortable gym clothing that allows for freedom of movement.
    Classes can be done barefoot or in grip socks - we also sell our own Eclectic NI grip socks in-studio!

  • I’m new to Pilates — where should I start?

    If you’re completely new to Pilates, we recommend starting with Mat Pilates to build strength, alignment, and confidence in the fundamentals.

    If you’d like to begin directly with Reformer Pilates, we suggest booking a 1-to-1 introductory session or joining our 6-week New Beginners Course to establish a strong foundation.

    If you already have Mat Pilates experience, our Intro to Reformer class is the perfect next step.

    Not sure which option suits you best? Get in touch - our team will be happy to guide you!

  • What if I have an injury or medical condition?

    Please inform your instructor before the class begins if you have any new injuries or conditions. They’ll offer safe alternatives and modifications throughout the session to support your needs.

    A medical form will be sent via email when you book your first class. Please complete this prior to attending so our instructors can tailor the session safely for you.

  • Where is the studio located?

    Our studio is located on Main Street, Bangor, County Down, just a short walk from Bangor Train Station.
    There is on-street parking and several nearby car parks for your convenience.
