Our classes are run on a course basis with each class lasting one hour in duration. Through running classes on a course basis it allows the Instructor to get to know the individual needs of Clients so that exercises can be adapted where appropriate. It is also preferable that Clients start at the beginning of a course as classes are progressive.
