Online Pilates Programmes

Yes — for most people, Pilates is safe and beneficial throughout pregnancy when it's taught by a qualified instructor and modified for each trimester. All of Grace's pregnancy programmes are designed by a BASI-certified instructor specifically around what's safe at each stage. For the full trimester-by-trimester breakdown, see Is Pilates Safe During Pregnancy? A Trimester-by-Trimester Guide.

Yes, generally, with the right modifications — many people continue gentle, modified Pilates right up until labour starts, as long as they feel comfortable and have no complications. What changes trimester to trimester (and why) is covered in Pilates in the Second and Third Trimester: What Changes and Why — always check with your midwife or GP if anything feels off, or if you've been advised against exercise.

We always recommend seeking advice from a medical professional if you have any concerns. If you have any pregnancy complications, or your midwife or GP has advised against exercise, please check with them before starting. Otherwise, for a straightforward pregnancy, gentle, modified Pilates like this is generally considered safe — but always listen to your body and stop if anything feels wrong.

You can find the official guidelines for the physical activity for pregnant women below, as advised by the UK government.

Yes, a handful of classic Pilates moves aren't suitable once you're pregnant — all of Grace's programmes are already built around this, but if you're mixing in other classes or your own practice, see Pilates Moves to Avoid During Pregnancy for the full trimester-by-trimester list.

The Second Trimester Programme covers weeks 14–27 and the Third Trimester Programme covers weeks 27–40; the Complete Programme gives you both in one bundle for the full weeks 14–40 journey. Pick whichever matches where you are now, or go complete if you know you'll want the whole thing.

Yes! Once you have made payment for the subscription of your choice you have access to it for the allotted amount of time as specified on your confirmation email.

Yes, you will receive all tutorials and classes at once and be able to access these as many times as you wish throughout your subscription.

There are a few props which are essential to invest in, others can be found around the house! 1. Mat A yoga or Pilates mat will work. If using a yoga mat you may want to double up or place it on carpet/a rug for better comfort. 2. 90cm Foam Roller We use the long foam roller during the tutorials, for release work, as well as the workouts. 3. 65/75cm Big Ball*. The big ball is used in the Third Trimester only. It is a fantastic tool during birth preparation and labour too. *If you are under 165cm tall then choose 65cm, if you are over choose 75cm. 4. Light weights/full water bottles/tin cans. Each weight should be 1kg or less depending on how challenging you’d like the work to be! 5. Cushions. We use these for support, and I find having two sofa cushions, and one bed pillow works best. 6. Dining chair. A standard chair placed on a mat for grip.

Yes! The programme is designed so classes can be repeated throughout your pregnancy. Return to your favourites whenever you fancy!

The tutorials should initially be completed in the order 1 - 8, but once you've completed them, feel free to go back and try them again. Similarly, the classes are designed so that they build one on top of the other, but if you want to go back and repeat anything, please feel free!

Once you have chosen your plan, you are unable to cancel unless due to extenuating circumstances. Please contact hello@gracehurry.com if you feel you are entitled to a refund.

Once you have made your payment, there are 2 ways that you can access your subscription: A) You will receive an email to the address you set the account up with (make sure to check your junk!). This email will have a link to the subscription and will be available to play straight away. You just have to make sure you are logged into the website on whichever device you would like to play the video from. B) Return to the website, make sure that you are logged in by checking the top left corner. Head to either the Complete Programme, Second Trimester or Third Trimester page and the videos will have only a play button on it. Press this and get practising! Please note, if you have purchased the Complete Programme, you will have to go via that programme page - you cannot access the videos via the Second or Third Trimester pages. If the above two options haven't worked, then we recommend: - Double checking you are definitely logged in to the website. You will be able to tell because the button on the top left corner will either say "Log In" or the username you created when you set up your account. If it's the former, press that button and log in using your details. - If you are definitely logged in using the same details then double check the payment went through (sometimes PayPal can be a little bit funny!) - Double check that your subscription has not expired. - If none of those options are the case then email hello@gracehurry.com and we will do our best to troubleshoot or offer a refund.
