How to get the most from your Online Classes

In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, the surge in online classes, sessions and exercising has been unbelievable!

At goPhysio, we now offer a range of online services, including:

  1. Online physio appointments
  2. Pre-recorded and live online Pilates classes
  3. Online 1-2-1 Pilates sessions

To help you get the most from your online class experience, we’ve put together some top tips!

  • Always make sure you exercise in a safe area, with enough space around you and free from any hazards. 
  • Try and set the time aside, so you can focus on your class or session without distraction (everyone deserves some self care time!).
  • We often send updates or links, tips and advice via email. So please keep an eye on your emails (including junk) and add us to your ‘safe sender’ list.
  • Some sessions will take place over Zoom, so please download Zoom for free here if you don’t already have it. 
  • When using Zoom, you have the choice of 3 video layouts: Active Speaker View, Gallery View, and floating thumbnail window. Read more about the options here.
  • You will need a device with a camera and audio (laptop, computer, tablet or phone all work just as well!).
  • For live online classes, please feel free to have your video and microphone enabled – this way we can see you, interact with you, offer advice and connect with you all in the class.
  • The session will work better if you have stable broadband connection. 
  • Position your device so that the camera can capture you exercising sideways on if possible. 
  • Always make sure you exercise in a safe area, with enough space around you and free from any hazards.
  • We advise using a Pilates or yoga mat and bare feet or ‘grippy’ socks.
  • Have a Pilates block, small cushion or towel handy.
  • View in full screen, so it fills your device screen.
  • Before you take part in any of our Pilates classes, make sure you are familiar and confident with the 5 Key Elements of Pilates
  • Make sure you only take part in classes that are the right level for you. Take a look here for guidance on what level class you should do and when you should progress. 
  • If you have any questions or concerns about any of the exercises, plese contact us or seek advice from a suitably qualified professional. 

Enjoy your class!

I had a really good visit to GoPhysio. I have had sciatica for two months and it wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Sophie gave me a thorough assessment and then provided acupuncture and ultra sound. After one visit my sciatica has almost gone. I am really pleased.

I have been attending goPhysio for about two years. As a company they are very professional and provide a very good level of service to include efficiency and courtesy and are always consistent in their approach. This very much includes the admin /reception team whom are the first people you make contact with. My Physio has excellent knowledge and has assisted me with sound advice and ongoing exercise regimes which are achievable and realistic. This has supported me well in between appointments. Although always busy I am normally able to see Roz at a mutually convenient time. Thank you to all the team
