Classes have clear options for every level, so you'll always feel challenged but never out of your depth. If you'd like to find your feet first, a 1:1 Reformer Pilates session (£45) or a free personal training consultation is a lovely place to start. ### Can I train with you if I'm coming back from an injury? Often, yes. We'll start with a health form and a proper conversation about what you need, and 1:1 sessions let me build everything around you. If you're under the care of a GP or physiotherapist, please check with them first. ### What should I wear and bring? Comfortable clothes you can move in and a bottle of water. Please bring your own Pilates grip socks. Everything else is here at the studio. ### What happens at my first session? You'll fill in a short health form before you arrive. When you get here, Elton will say hello, we'll chat about your goals and how you're feeling, and I'll take you through everything step by step at your pace. ## Reformer Pilates ### What is reformer Pilates? A low-impact, full-body workout on a spring-loaded bed called a reformer. The springs add support or resistance, so every movement can be made gentler or more challenging. It builds strength, mobility and control. [More about reformer Pilates](https://helfit.co.uk/reformer-pilates) ### How much is reformer Pilates near Taunton? Reformer Pilates classes are £20 per class. A private 1:1 Reformer Pilates session is £45. The studio is at Thornfalcon, four miles east of Taunton. ### How many people are in a class? Classes are small groups on premium reformer beds, so I can see everyone and offer options as we go. Each class has up to 4 people. ### Should I start with a 1:1 session or a class? Start 1:1 if you're nervous, returning from injury or have a specific goal; it's a lovely way to learn the reformer. Join a class when you'd like the energy of a small, friendly, no-ego group. Both are welcoming to beginners. ### When are the reformer Pilates classes? The class times page has a live timetable, straight from my booking calendar, showing every class, the next dates and how many spaces are left. You can book a place from there. [See class times](https://helfit.co.uk/pilates-classes) ## Personal training ### How does personal training with you work? We start with a free first consultation to talk about your goals. Then we train 1:1 in the fully equipped private gym in my converted stable, with a plan built around you. [More about personal training](https://helfit.co.uk/personal-training) ### How much does personal training cost? Your first consultation is free. Sessions after that are £45. ### What can personal training help me with? Weight loss, building muscle, general fitness and confidence. My mission is to help you fall in love with exercise and show you what your body can do for you, with habits you can keep rather than quick fixes. ### What is the 12 Week Shred? A 12-week programme of strength training plus nutrition guidance, with a real focus on building a better relationship with food. It suits beginners and experienced exercisers. The price is £25. [About the 12 Week Shred](https://helfit.co.uk/12-week-shred) ## Online coaching ### How does online coaching work? You get a members-only app with a personalised training plan and over 200 demo videos, plus support whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain or just feeling fitter and stronger. I wanted to offer affordable coaching for everyone. [More about online coaching](https://helfit.co.uk/online-coaching) ### How much is online coaching? Online coaching is £80 per month: a full programme in the Helfit app, updated every month, with weekly Friday check-ins and nutrition advice. Cancel with 30 days' notice. ### Do I need a gym or any equipment? No. Your plan works in the gym or at home, and you don't need any equipment to get started. ## Finding the studio ### Where is the Helfit studio? Helfit, Manor Farm, Thornfalcon, Somerset TA3 5NP.
