What the classes are
Most of Parmida's classes are reformer Pilates, and nearly all of them use the reformer itself. The classes are split between those for first-timers and those for people with some experience. Reformer Foundations introduces the fundamental movements, proper form and how to use the apparatus with confidence. A women only version follows the same beginner format.
For people who already know the reformer, Strong Reformer Flow is a full-body sequence with heavier spring loads and fewer breaks. The sequences move from one exercise to the next without pause, testing strength, control and endurance.
When and where the classes run
Parmida's classes run in the evening, starting between 4:15pm and 7:15pm. Monday and Tuesday are the busiest days of the week, and the most common start times are 4:15pm, 5:15pm, 6:15pm and 7:15pm. Classes are about 50 minutes long, which makes them easy to fit between the end of the working day and the rest of the evening.
Most of the classes are held at Panda Pilates in Wellington Place, a studio that hosts the largest share of Parmida's timetable.
