Applied Pilates &
Osteolates Therapy —
Prices & Membership

• Is Applied Pilates suitable for complete beginners?+
  Yes — beginners often make the fastest progress because they haven't developed compensatory movement habits, and no prior Pilates experience is needed at any stage. There are two ways in. If you have pain, an injury or another musculoskeletal issue, start with the £85 Movement Assessment followed by the Foundation Programme. If you simply want a safe introduction to the apparatus, the Beginners' Intro Class runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:30am — £125 for 5 sessions, used within 5 weeks of your first class. If you are searching for beginners Pilates or beginners Reformer Pilates in St Albans, either route is a safe place to start. See the Beginners' Intro →  Enquire here →
• Do I have to start with the Movement Assessment?+
  Yes — every new client starting Pilates begins with the £85 Movement Assessment. Teejay needs to understand how your body moves before he can safely and effectively prescribe exercises. Clients who have already tried physio, chiro, osteo and the gym often have compensatory movement patterns that generic exercise will make worse. The assessment prevents that. Standalone Osteolates Therapy and deep oscillation sessions are the exception — those are hands-on treatment rather than prescribed exercise, and can be booked without an assessment.
• Can I do the assessment with a partner or friend?+
  Yes. The Duo Movement Assessment is £140 for two people (£70 each), 60 minutes. Teejay assesses each of you individually and gives each of you your own findings and plan. Each person completes a short health questionnaire beforehand. It suits two people starting out with similar goals. If either of you has a significant or complex problem, such as recent surgery or sciatica with leg symptoms, a solo assessment is the better start. Afterwards you can continue together with Duo 1-to-1 sessions (£130 for two) or the Duo Foundation Programme (£449 for two).
• What is the Foundation Programme?+
  The Foundation Programme is the recommended step after your assessment. It costs £269 and includes three 60-minute 1-to-1 sessions with Teejay to learn spring control, transitions and alignment on the apparatus, followed by four small group sessions. It finishes with a progress review and a written recommendation for your membership. At single-session and pay-as-you-go rates the same sessions would cost £413. The programme is valid for 6 weeks from purchase.
• Should I choose the Starter or the Foundation Programme?+
  The Starter suits people who are stiff, returning to exercise, or want more strength and mobility. The Foundation Programme suits people with pain, a recent injury or surgery, or a more complex history, who need 1-to-1 time before joining a group. If you are not sure, book the Starter. Teejay will tell you at your assessment, and it can be converted to the Foundation Programme for the difference.
• Can I join a small group session without doing 1-to-1 sessions first?+
  Not without the Movement Assessment first. If Teejay finds you are ready, the Starter takes you straight into small group sessions with a programme built around your assessment. If you need 1-to-1 work first, he will recommend the Foundation Programme or a 1-to-1 course. Either way, by the time you join a group Teejay already knows your movement patterns, your history and your programme. You are never put into a class cold.
• How much does Reformer Pilates cost in St Albans?+
  At The Sogunro Practice in London Colney, a Movement Assessment costs £85, the Foundation Programme £269, small group sessions £32 pay as you go, and monthly membership from £129. Every session uses the full STOTT Pilates apparatus — Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair and Barrels — with a maximum of 7 clients and a programme built specifically around your Movement Assessment. You are not paying for a class — you are paying for a rehabilitation-informed programme designed for your body, your history and your goals.
• What is the membership joining bonus?+
  Join a monthly membership within 7 days of completing your Foundation Programme or first 1-to-1 course and you receive a complimentary Osteolates session: an Osteolates Express (normally £65) with Essential membership, or an Osteolates Full Session (normally £110) with Premium membership. The bonus is a one-off on your first membership only.
• Is there a reward for referring a friend?+
  Yes. When someone you refer buys a Foundation Programme or Starter, you receive a complimentary Osteolates Express (normally £65) and they receive one extra small group session added to their programme. Ask them to mention your name when they enquire. Every new client still begins with the £85 Movement Assessment.
• Do you sell gift vouchers?+
  Yes. Gift vouchers are available for the 1-to-1 Movement Assessment (£85), Duo Movement Assessment (£140), Osteolates Express (£65), Osteolates Full Session (£110), Applied Pilates 1-to-1 Routine Review (£95), Remedial Sports Injury Massage (£85) and the Starter (£349), or for any amount from £25. Buy online by card, add the recipient’s name and a message at checkout, then personalise and print the voucher straight away. To book, the recipient emails or calls Teejay quoting the voucher reference and receives a booking code. Vouchers are valid for 12 months and are not exchangeable for cash. Anyone new to the studio starts with the Movement Assessment before Pilates sessions.
• How does the 10-session group block work?+
  The group block costs £299 for 10 small group sessions, about £30 per session, and is valid for 14 weeks from purchase. It suits clients whose schedule cannot take a fixed weekly slot. For regular weekly practice, Essential membership is better value at about £26 per session.
• Can I pause or cancel my membership?+
  Yes. Both memberships are monthly rolling — no minimum term beyond the first month. You can pause for up to 4 weeks a year, for example during a flare-up or a holiday. Email info@thesogunropractice.co.uk and we will agree your pause and restart dates; as membership is paid by standing order, you pause and restart the payment at your own bank. To cancel, give 30 days written notice and cancel your standing order. Unused sessions within a paid month are not refunded or carried over.
• What happens to unused sessions in a block?+
  Session packages have validity periods: 6 weeks for the Foundation Programme, 16 weeks for the 6-session and 10-session 1-to-1 courses, the 10-session Duo course and both 10-session Osteolates packs, and 14 weeks for the 10-session group block. Unused sessions after the validity period expires are forfeited. For monthly memberships, unused sessions do not roll over.
• Can I buy 1-to-1, Duo or Osteolates sessions in blocks of 10?+
  Yes. A 10-session 1-to-1 course is £749 (£74.90 a session), a 10-session Duo course is £1,029 for two (£51.45 each a session), 10 Osteolates Express sessions are £549 (£54.90 a session) and 10 Osteolates Full Sessions are £929 (£92.90 a session). Each is valid for 16 weeks from purchase. 1-to-1 courses are exercise-led, and where it helps Teejay includes brief hands-on Osteolates techniques within the session. Osteolates packs are treatment-led, and in most cases include targeted Pilates-based rehabilitation exercise so the gains from treatment last.
• What is the cancellation policy for individual sessions?+
  Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged in full. This applies to both 1-to-1 and group sessions. Please give as much notice as possible so your space can be offered to another client. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
• What is the difference between Sports Massage and Remedial Massage Therapy?+
  Sports Massage focuses on muscle tension, sports injury recovery and performance maintenance — best suited to athletes and active clients. Remedial Massage Therapy targets chronic muscle tension, postural problems and injury rehabilitation. Both are 60 minutes and priced at £85. Both can be booked as standalone appointments or combined with Applied Pilates or Osteolates Therapy sessions.
• Is Osteolates Therapy the same as physiotherapy or osteopathy?+
  No. Osteolates Therapy is a system Teejay developed himself, combining hands-on soft tissue treatment with targeted rehabilitation movement. It is not physiotherapy or osteopathy.
• Which option gives the best value?+
  For new clients, the Starter at £349 is the simplest start: your Movement Assessment plus 10 small group sessions, worth £405. If you need 1-to-1 time first, the Foundation Programme at £269 (after your £85 assessment) gives three 1-to-1 sessions and four small group sessions, worth £413 at standard rates. For ongoing practice, Premium Membership at £219/month gives the best value at about £22 per session — a saving of over £100 per month versus pay as you go.

The first step is always
the Movement Assessment.

Every client begins the same way — 60 minutes, 1-to-1 with Teejay. He assesses how you move, explains what he finds, and gives you a clear, honest plan. No obligation to continue. Ample free parking on site.
