FIRST CLASS GUIDE

Welcome to Sojourn

Your first reformer Pilates class in Leicestershire, made simple.

This guide walks you through everything you need before stepping onto the reformer for the first time, from booking and grip socks to where to park. Take a moment to read through, then we'll see you at Sojourn.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Three small steps to settle you in

A few minutes now means you can arrive on the day relaxed and ready.

  • Complete your PAR-Q

    A short health questionnaire that helps our instructors support you safely in class. It only takes a couple of minutes.

    Fill out your PAR-Q

  • Download the Momence App

    Momence is how you'll manage every class with us. View upcoming bookings, use your credits, join waitlists and shop the studio retail selection, all in one place.

  • Bring or buy your grip socks

    Grip socks are required in every reformer class, for your safety and to protect the equipment. You're welcome to bring your own, or shop ours in advance and collect them at your first class. Just let your instructor know when you arrive.

ON THE DAY

Arriving at Sojourn Pilates Studio

Please arrive at least ten minutes before class starts so we can welcome you, show you around the studio and introduce you to your reformer. The door is locked at class start time to preserve the calm for everyone inside, so giving yourself a little buffer makes the whole experience softer.

  • Address

    17 Dunton Road, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, LE9 6NA. Ten minutes from Lutterworth, thirty from Leicester city centre.

    Directions

  • Parking

    Please avoid Fretter Close out of respect for our neighbours. The Red Admiral pub car park is open to you before 5pm. Allow five minutes to park and walk over.

  • What to wear

    Fitted, comfortable activewear you can move in. Grip socks on, phones on silent, water bottle welcome.

The breath is the first thing we teach, and one of the most powerful parts of the practice.
