Frequently Asked Questions
-
Precision Pilates teaches the original Classical Pilates method, as designed by Joseph Pilates, known as Contrology.
-
Contrology is a structured system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates. The method follows a specific order and uses repetition to build strength, coordination, mobility, and body awareness over time. Rather than constantly changing exercises, Contrology focuses on precision, consistency, and progressive mastery, allowing the body to adapt intelligently and safely. Sessions require concentration, attention to detail, and personal responsibility for movement quality.
-
Contrology was never designed to entertain through variety.
The exercises remain consistent so clients can refine technique, build real strength, and see measurable progress over time. Repetition allows patterns to change, weaknesses to be addressed, and movement to become more controlled and efficient. Constantly changing exercises interrupts this process and reduces the effectiveness of the work. Progress in Contrology comes from practice, not novelty. -
Yes.
All clients must complete an initial consultation and assessment before joining Open Studio sessions, regardless of previous Pilates experience. This is a non-negotiable part of how the studio operates. -
Open Studio is a semi-private format where clients work independently through their personalised program on the equipment, under teacher supervision.
It is not a group class, and clients are expected to arrive on time, prepared, and familiar with their program. -
No. Pricing is set consistently across the studio and reflects the small-group Open Studio format, professional supervision, and individualised programming. We do not offer student, concession, or casual drop-in rates.
-
Cancellations must be made with at least 18 hours’ notice.
Late cancellations or no-shows will forfeit the session, regardless of reason. -
Most clients attend at least once per week, with twice weekly being ideal for steady progress. Memberships are designed to support this consistency and are the recommended option for ongoing practice.
-
No. Precision Pilates is not a casual drop-in studio. We operate as a structured Open Studio Pilates Gym, designed for clients committed to regular practice and learning the work as a system.
-
Clients are expected to:
Arrive on time and prepared
Follow teacher guidance
Respect studio equipment and policies
Take responsibility for their own health and movement
Precision Pilates is a focused training environment, not a casual drop-in studio.
-
Precision Pilates is intentionally structured and not designed to suit everyone.
Contrology is a disciplined system that relies on repetition, consistency, and accountability. Clients who thrive here value structure, show up regularly, and understand that progress comes from committed practice over time.
If this approach doesn’t suit your lifestyle or expectations, we completely understand — and we’re happy to help guide you toward an alternative studio option that may be a better fit elsewhere.
If you are looking for a casual, flexible, “fitness Pilates” or a drop-in Pilates experience, another studio may be a better fit.
