Hilary's classes are geared towards men and women. As long as you have been initially assessed, are not in significant pain or recovering from a very recent health event or injury, and have the time to commit at least once a week, then Pilates is for you. You don't have to be a regular exerciser or have learnt Pilates in the past to start classes with Hilary and she welcomes all.
