Here’s everything you need to feel ready for your first class—from when to arrive (10 minutes early!) to what to bring.
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or you’re a seasoned mover, the Xora Method is designed to transform your body from the inside out.
Your first session might feel like a big step, but our expert instructors will guide you through every move.
Choose your flow on the reformer, on the mat in soothing infrared heat, or in a fully personalized one-to-one training.
Our classes are challenging, but so are you.
Our signature Coreformer classes – Heartcore’s unique reformer Pilates offering – are a dynamic full-body workout designed to build strength, flexibility, and mind-body connection.
If you’re new, we recommend starting with a Find Your Flow class to master the fundamentals.
Available at all studios.

Water bottle – It’s important to stay hydrated before, during and after class, so please bring a water bottle. This can be filled at our double-filtered water refill stations. Please note, we do not have disposable cups.
Mat towel – For Hot Pilates Classes, please bring a mat towel. These are also available for purchase on-site. We also advise bringing a post-class change of clothes as this class gets hot and sweaty.
Appropriate clothing – Wear clothes that allow for free movement. Grippy socks for Coreformer classes are optional. For Hot Pilates wear lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for sweating.
Bring just the necessities – As we don’t have lockers, we ask that you bring minimal belongings to keep communal spaces clear.
We provide Grown Alchemist hand and body washes at our studios. Please note these list nut oil in the ingredients.
We recommend avoiding eating for 2-3 hours before your session for the best experience.
Stay hydrated before, during, and after your class — ideally adding some electrolytes especially if attending our hot Pilates sessions.
Due to the infrared heat, our hot Pilates classes are not suitable for pregnant members.
If you’re pregnant and want to try our Coreformer classes, start with a 1:1 Personal Training (PT) session with a prenatal expert (£100). For your third trimester, you must attend a Prenatal Pilates Workshop (£40) between weeks 21-25, or a 90-minute PT session (£150) if the workshop is unavailable.
You can return to classes post-partum with your doctor’s approval, at least six weeks post-vaginal birth or 10-12 weeks post-caesarean. We recommend starting with a PT session.
Please let your teacher know when you arrive so that they can understand any needs you may have and introduce you to the equipment.
If you have any injuries or physical limitation, please inform your teacher before class begins so they can provide modifications.
Your teacher will guide you through the class, offering verbal and hands-on adjustments to ensure proper form. If you prefer verbal-only adjustments, please let your teacher know before class begins.
During class, please leave your phone on silent and out of sight. Filming or photography during class is not allowed to protect the privacy of all our members.
Please note our studios are shoe-free zones with designated areas for footwear.
During class, please do not use your mobile phone and keep it on silent.
Before and after every class, kindly clean your equipment used with the eco wipes provided.
If you need to leave early, please let your teacher know before the class starts.
It’s normal to feel sore after class, especially the next day.
Stay hydrated after your class — ideally adding some electrolytes especially if attending our hot Pilates sessions.
We also love a warm bath with magnesium salts to support muscle recovery.
Our studios have shower facilities and offer biodegradable towels, shower products, hairdryers, and straighteners. Please bring any additional items you may need.
We have eight studios across London in the following locations:
