Ready to start (or restart) Pilates?
September is the perfect time to get back into a routine!
Whether you’ve never tried Pilates before, you’ve had a break from exercise, or you’ve been thinking about trying Reformer Pilates but don’t know where to start, our £65 Pilates Starter Bundles are designed to make getting started easy.
At Animated Physio, in Billericay, we don’t believe you need to be fit, flexible or experienced to start Pilates. Our physiotherapy-led approach means we’ll help you find the right starting point for your body, your goals and your experience. And you won’t simply be thrown into a class and left to work it out yourself.
You’ll start with a 1-1 session with one of our experienced instructors, so we can get to know you and help you find the right classes for you.

Mat Pilates Starter – £65
- 1 x 1-1 Pilates session
- 4 x mat Pilates classes
- Free pair of grippy Pilates socks
Reformer Pilates Starter – £65
- 1 x 1-1 Reformer session

- Free pair of grippy Pilates socks
Only 10 spaces available for each bundle. Keep reading to find out more & sign up!
New to Pilates? You’re in the right place!
If you’ve never done Pilates before, starting a new class can feel a little daunting. You might be wondering:
- Will I be able to keep up?
- What if I’m not very fit?
- What if I have an old injury or a few aches and pains?
- Which Pilates class should I choose?
- What if everyone else knows what they’re doing?
We get it. That’s why our Starter Bundles begin with a personal 1-1 Pilates session rather than asking you to walk straight into a group class. We’ll talk to you about your goals, your previous experience and any injuries, aches or niggles you have. We’ll then help you understand which classes are most appropriate for you.
So when you walk into your first group class, you’ll already know where you belong. You don’t need to:
- Have done Pilates before
- Be particularly flexible
- Be “fit enough”
- Know how to use a Reformer
- Know which class to choose
- Have exercised recently
You just need to be ready to get started.
Mat Pilates Starter Bundle – £65

Your £65 Starter Bundle includes:
- 1 x 1-1 Pilates session: A dedicated session with one of our instructors to understand your body, goals, experience and any areas you’d like to work on.
- 4 x mat Pilates classes: Choose from our timetable of over 30 classes per week (mornings, evenings, lunchtimes & Saturdays!), with guidance from your instructor on which classes are likely to suit you best.
- Free grippy Pilates socks: Because every Pilates session is better with grippy socks!

How your Mat Starter works

- Following your 1-1, we’ll add your four mat Pilates classes to your account, so you can book directly from our timetable.
- Book your classes – we’ll advise you the best class types for you based on your 1-1, and show you how to manage your bookings via our easy-to-use app. Once you’ve attended your first mat class, you’ll have 4 weeks to use all four of your included classes before they expire. This gives you the opportunity to experience different classes and start building Pilates into your regular routine.
Reformer Pilates Starter Bundle – £65
Curious about Reformer Pilates? This is the perfect place to start!
Maybe you’ve seen Reformer Pilates online. Maybe a friend keeps talking about it. Or perhaps you’ve been doing mat Pilates with us and have been thinking “I’d really like to try Reformer…” Our Reformer Pilates Starter Bundle gives you the perfect introduction.
Your £65 Starter Bundle includes:
- 1 x 1-1 Reformer Pilates session: Your instructor will introduce you to the Reformer, explain how the equipment works and help you feel comfortable using it.
- 2 x Reformer Pilates classes: Put your 1-1 into practice and experience Reformer in a small group class environment. Our small group reformer classes run on Mondays at 12pm & 1pm, and Wednesdays and Fridays at 12pm, 1pm & 2pm
- Free grippy Pilates socks: Essential for safety & comfort on the reformer.
Never tried Reformer Pilates before?
You don’t need to have. Your 1-1 session is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident before joining your first Reformer class. We’ll show you how the equipment works, talk you through the basics and make sure you understand how to set yourself up safely. You’ll then have two classes to experience Reformer for yourself.
Reformer Pilates can be a great way to:
- Build strength
- Improve core stability
- Develop control and coordination
- Challenge your muscles in a different way
- Improve mobility
- Develop body awareness
- Add variety to your Pilates routine
And you don’t have to be an experienced Pilates client to benefit from it. Reformer Pilates can be suitable for beginners too.
How your Reformer Starter works
- Sign up to your Starter Bundle and book your 1-1 Pilates session online before 30th September 2026.
- Following your 1-1, we’ll add your two Reformer Pilates classes to your account, so you can book directly from our timetable.
- Book your classes – we’ll show you how to manage your bookings via our easy-to-use app. Once you’ve attended your first reformer class, you’ll have 2 weeks to use the remaining included class before it expires. This gives you the opportunity to experience different classes and start building Pilates into your regular routine.
Already a Mat Pilates member?
Our Reformer Starter Bundle is for you too! If you already enjoy our mat Pilates classes but haven’t tried Reformer yet, our £65 Reformer Starter Bundle is a great way to give it a go.
You don’t need to replace your mat Pilates. In fact, mat and Reformer Pilates can complement each other brilliantly.
Reformer gives you a different way to challenge your body using the resistance of the springs and moving carriage, while mat Pilates gives you the opportunity to work on your strength, control and movement using your own body weight.
So if you’ve been curious about Reformer but haven’t quite taken the plunge, this is your sign to try it.
Why start with a 1-1?
At Animated Physio, we guide you through Pilates that’s personal to you. One of the things that makes our Starter Bundles different is that you don’t have to work out where you fit in on your own. Your 1-1 session gives us time to focus entirely on you.
We’ll discuss your goals and what you’d like to get from Pilates. Perhaps you want to become stronger, improve your mobility, get back into exercise or simply feel better in your body.
We’ll also talk about your previous experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner, haven’t exercised for a while or are returning to Pilates after years away, we’ll meet you where you are and make sure you’re starting at the right level.
If you have any injuries, aches, pains or areas you’re currently working on, we’ll take these into consideration too. Our aim is to understand what your body needs and help you feel confident about getting started.
And if you’re not sure which classes to book, that’s something we’ll help with as well. We’ll talk you through our timetable and recommend the classes that we think will suit you best, so you don’t have to worry about booking something that’s too challenging or not quite right for you.
For us, it’s about making sure you feel comfortable, confident and clear about what you’re doing before you join your first class.
So rather than turning up and hoping you’ve picked the right place to start, you’ll have someone who knows you, understands what you’re working towards and can help you get the most out of your Pilates from day one.
What are the benefits of Pilates?
Pilates is a great form of exercise for people looking to build strength and improve the way they move.
Regular Pilates can help you to:
- Build strength – Particularly through your core, hips and whole body
- Improve mobility – Work through movements that can help you feel less stiff and more comfortable
- Develop better movement – Improve your awareness, control and coordination
- Improve core strength and stability – Build strength that can support you in everyday activities as well as exercise
- Feel more confident – As you become stronger and more comfortable with movement, you may find everyday activities feel easier too
- Get back into regular exercise – Pilates can be an approachable way to start moving again if you’ve had a break from exercise
And because our studio is physiotherapy-led, our instructors have a strong understanding of movement, rehabilitation and how exercises can be adapted for different people.
