To keep everyone safe, we've had to make a few changes. When you sign up for our studio classes, we'll send you a simple checklist of questions to ask yourself before each class. If you have any doubts about your health, please let us know by phone or email, and don't attend the class or the studio. Thank you!
We'll also be checking everyone's temperature on arrival at each class with a non-contact thermometer.
The studio car park is currently closed. There is free on-street parking in Albert Street, Pinewood Hill Road and Dunmow Hill all within a couple of minutes of the studio.
The main door to Optimum is not currently in use, as reception is not staffed. Please wait in the car park at a safe distance from other studio users until you are invited in to the studio.
On entry, please use the hand sanitiser provided, and proceed to one of the marked out areas, maintaining social distance from the other clients. We ask that you bring a minimum of personal items with you, and keep them within your marked area at all times.
In accordance with government guidelines for exercise, you are not required to wear a face mask.
If you would water to drink during the class, please bring your own filled bottle with you.
We're asking clients not to use the toilet facilities at Optimum unless absolutely necessary, to try and reduce the amount of traffic through the building (the treatment clinic is still operating in the front of the building).
Where possible, please bring your own equipment to reduce the risk of infection.
We do have some equipment available, but will not be providing head blocks. If you don't have your own head-block, a folded-up towel makes a good substitute.
If you do need to use any of our equipment, please clean it thoroughly after use, using the cleaning spray provided.
After each class, the instructor will be thoroughly cleaning the studio during the 15 minute turn-around period. We appreciate your help with this by leaving promptly. Thank you!
You'll see that the studio has been equipped for teaching classes online. All Core 34 Pilates studio classes are in-person only, meaning the video equipment will be switched off, and you'll have the instructor's full attention in the room.
