Studio Policies
Explore essential details on virtual Pilates, private coaching and booking rules.
Are the sessions beginner-friendly?
Absolutely. For those new to Pilates, we suggest starting with our 'FOUNDATION' class or private sessions to master alignment, control, and core connection. Please disclose any injuries or specific health conditions to Emily prior to the start of class so she can provide personal guidance. Every session offers layered options, ensuring you move with intention and purpose while staying safe. Safe practice is paramount; always listen to your body throughout the session.
Class Duration & Info
Each session lasts 50 minutes. Book via the WORTHYSTUDIOS site for a unique personal Zoom link. These links are for individual use only and must not be shared.
How do I attend virtually?
Secure your spot on our website to receive your joining link. Login five minutes early to check your setup. Please note that no recording of live stream sessions is permitted without explicit prior consent to protect the privacy of all participants.
What gear is required?
You will need a mat on a stable surface, water, and comfortable clothes. Ensure you have a reliable internet connection. You are responsible for ensuring a safe, clear home practice space free from obstructions to prevent any injury during movement. Optional props may be listed in class descriptions, though household alternatives are often suitable.
Is my camera mandatory?
Keeping your camera on is highly encouraged so Emily can view your whole body and provide tailored guidance. While she monitors form, you remain responsible for choosing a safe space and moving within a range that feels right for you.
What style of Pilates does Emily teach?
Emily blends classical foundations with contemporary flow, strength, and mobility. We emphasize precision and purposeful movement. If you have specific health conditions, please discuss these with her before the session begins.
What is the group vs private difference?
Group classes provide a shared, encouraging environment with many options. Private coaching offers one-to-one attention tailored to your specific goals and movement needs. For either format, our 12-hour cancellation policy applies to ensure fair access for all.
Expectations for my first private?
After completing your health questionnaire, your first session involves a postural assessment and movement screen. Emily then guides you through tailored exercises with live demonstrations. Please clearly disclose any injuries beforehand. If a session is cancelled by Emily for any reason, a full refund or credit will be automatically provided.
What should I wear?
Wear fitted, comfortable clothing that allows a full range of motion. You can practice barefoot or in grip socks. Proper attire helps Emily check your alignment.
Can I join from outside the UK?
Yes, we welcome global participants. Please check your local time zone against the UK schedule. Our 12-hour cancellation policy applies to all live online sessions.
Pregnancy & Postnatal Care
Emily is qualified in pre- and postnatal exercise. Please contact her before booking so she can understand your stage, experience and individual circumstances and advise which service is most appropriate for your journey.
Injuries & Medical Conditions
Can sessions help with injury or joint pain?
Please contact Emily before booking if you have an injury, persistent pain, a medical condition or any concerns about exercising. Where appropriate, movements can be adapted around your needs and any guidance provided by your healthcare professional. Pilates sessions do not replace medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Additionally, tell Emily before the session if you have experienced any change to your health, medication, injury, or movement ability since completing your health form.
Cancellations & Memberships
Can I reschedule or cancel a booking?
Bookings can be managed through your WORTHYSTUDIOS account. Please cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours before your session to retain your class pass. You will lose your class pass if there are any late cancellations and missed sessions.
How do class passes work?
Passes provide a set number of group-class credits valid for a specific period; they are personal and non-transferable.
How do monthly memberships work?
Memberships provide a set number of group classes each month and renew automatically. Credits reset on renewal and do not roll over.
Technical Support & Attendance
What occurs if technical difficulties arise?
We recommend testing your connection and link prior to your session. If connection issues originate from your end, our standard cancellation policy will remain in effect. Should WORTHYSTUDIOs be unable to facilitate the session due to our own technical failure, your class credit will be promptly returned to your account. If you have any additional concerns regarding your digital setup, please contact Emily for assistance before your scheduled time.
