Pilates Classes Availability

You must NOT attend group classes if you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms, have tested positive, or have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for Coronavirus. In the above cases, you will need to test negative before you may return to classes.

All other legal restrictions applicable to the running of our classes have now been lifted. However, we continue to take the following measures for your comfort and safety:

• Jane has received both her vaccination doses plus her booster dose, and strongly encourages everyone to do so if they are able. Jane is not aware of any of her clients who have not been fully vaccinated.
• Jane self-tests for Covid using lateral flow tests each week, to ensure she remains negative.
• Maximum class sizes have increased, but only by 2 people per class. We will not yet be returning to pre-pandemic maximum numbers.
• We will no longer be using cones to facilitate strict social distancing. However, Jane will still be informally guiding the layout of classes to ensure everyone is equally-spaced.
• Shared group equipment will no longer be provided on a permanent basis. If there is any equipment that you would like to purchase, details are here: https://www.janem.co.uk/products/ , then contact Jane or order in class.
• We will continue to ensure as much ventilation as possible during classes, and continue to take some classes outdoors when the weather is favourable.
• We also encourage you to continue using your NHS Covid-19 Contact Tracing app.

Of course, the pandemic is not yet over, and the government has made it clear that we are moving into a phase of ‘personal responsibility’. We would therefore encourage you all to be as careful and respectful as possible during classes, maintaining discreet distance from each other and Jane herself as best you can. We request you continue to wear a face covering on arrival and departure from classes, although this is no longer mandatory.

Government guidance, and therefore our operational procedures, may change, and will be updated here accordingly.

Jane Mackenzie is commited to helping her clients remain safe during the Coronavirus pandemic, and is also a regular volunteer at the Folkestone Covid-19 Vaccination Centre.

• Extra outdoor spaces in summer – Classes at The Three Hills, Sellindge Sports Club and Hythe Cricket Club may be taken outdoors in the summer if the weather is good on the day, in which case three more places will become available. If your preferred class is shown as full, please contact Jane if you wish to be informed when we are going outdoors, so that you may attend.
• Further ahead – Bars show places booked for the next class only. There may therefore currently be space available on future  weeks. Please contact Jane to enquire.
• Last minute spaces – Check back regularly as last minute spaces sometimes become available.
• Waiting list – We can also add you to a waiting list in case of future cancellations or spaces.
• Online Classes – You can also join our Tuesday 6.45 pm and Thursday 10.45 am classes online via Zoom, or take one of over 60 full hour recorded classes at any time. Learn more about our online classes!
