Pilates for beginners in ViennaYour first time on the reformer.

Never done Pilates? No problem. In our beginner classes you learn the basics on the reformer at a calm pace, in small groups and with plenty of guidance. No experience needed.

Grip socks on: your first time on the reformer

How it works

Your first class.

So you know what to expect before you walk through the door.

  1. Arrive

    Come 15 minutes before the start. You check in, change in the changing room and slip into non-slip socks (you can also buy Aware Grip Socks at the studio).

  2. Get to know us

    Tell your instructor it is your first time and whether you have any complaints. They show you how to set the springs and reformer for your body.

  3. 50-minute class

    In the beginner class you learn the basics at a calm pace, with plenty of guidance. Max. 6 people in 1060 and 8 in 1190, so there is time for corrections.

  4. And afterwards

    Treat yourself to a spa water after class and take a moment to breathe. If you enjoyed it, you can easily book your next class via Eversports.

Reformer class in studio 1190

Reformer or mat

What suits you?

On the reformer, springs and straps give you resistance and support, which makes it ideal for getting started.

On the mat you train with your own body weight and add-ons like light weights or a ball. Mat classes take place in our studio 1190. Your trial block is valid for both.

Q&A

Questions before your first class at Aware Pilates.

Your question isn’t here? Our Aware Support at the bottom right answers right away, around the clock.

Available 24/7
I have never done Pilates. Can I do this?

Yes. Our classes are for everyone, whatever your fitness level, age or experience. Start with a beginner class: a calm pace, plenty of guidance and no more than 6 or 8 people. Your instructor shows you how to set up the reformer for your body. Later you can move on to Classic and Advanced.

What is the difference between reformer and mat?

On the reformer, springs and straps give you resistance and support. On the mat you train with your own body weight and add-ons like light weights or a ball. Reformer classes take place in 1060 and 1190, mat classes in 1190.

What do I need to bring?

Non-slip socks (you can also buy Aware Grip Socks at the studio) and comfortable workout clothes. There are changing rooms at both studios and spa water is waiting for you at the bar. We provide everything else, including the reformers.

Can I try the studio before signing up?

Yes. With the 3-class trial block for €50 you get to know our studio and our classes. It is valid for reformer classes of all levels in both studios and for mat classes in 1190.

What happens if I am late?

Please arrive 15 minutes before the class starts. For safety reasons you cannot join once the class has started, and the class then counts as used.

Can I join with an injury or physical complaints?

Let your instructor know before the class and they will adapt the exercises. If you have a medical condition or an injury, we recommend getting medical advice first. Our classes do not replace medical or physiotherapy treatment.

Prefer to ask by email?
