FAQs

What equipment do I need to start Pilates at home?

A non-slip mat (at least 10mm thick), a Pilates ring, a set of resistance loop bands, and a pair of foam blocks cover all beginner exercises.

How thick should a Pilates mat be?

10–15mm is ideal for Pilates. Standard yoga mats (4–6mm) are too thin for roll-down exercises and kneeling work on hard floors.

Can I do Pilates at home without a class?

Yes. YouTube channels and apps like Lottie Murphy and Move With Nicole offer free, structured Pilates programmes for UK beginners.
