Mother's Day gift: a month of Pilates
In Portugal, Mother's Day is the first Sunday of May. Instead of flowers that last a week, give a month of classes: a stronger back, better posture and one hour a week that is only hers.
Give it to my mumMother's Day: Sunday, 2 May 2027
Printed card by post: order by 26 April to arrive by 29 April. By SMS and e-mail it arrives on the day.
Why Pilates for mum
Years of lifting children and shopping bags, and hours of sitting, leave their mark on the back and shoulders. Equipment Pilates works on that slowly and with support, with exercises adjusted to her body, whether she's been a mother for two years or fifty. Read how it helps with a herniated disc and sciatica.
New mothers
If she has just had a baby, the class waits for her doctor's clearance and starts with the pelvic floor and the abdominals. The voucher has twelve months to be activated, so there's no rush. Read what we do postnatally.
Getting there in time
Schedule the SMS for Sunday between 9 and 10am and it's the first thing she reads. For the printed card by post, see the order-by date above: after it, digital arrives instantly.

Frequently asked questions
My mum has never exercised. Is it for her?+
Yes. Classes are in small groups and every exercise is adjusted. Dozens of our members started after 60.
She lives in Maia and I live in Gaia. Which plan?+
Her studio's. On activation she can switch between Gaia and Maia at the same number of classes a week. If she wants both, there's Yellow.
Can we go together?+
Yes. If you're already a member, you get 10% off the voucher and she counts as your referral when she carries on. If you're not, book your free trial class.
How much is it?+
The plan's price, paid once: from €65 for one month. The printed, posted card is an extra €10. Members get 10% off.
How long do they have to activate?+
Twelve months from the payment. The date is printed on the card.
When does the month start?+
On the day they activate, not the day you buy.
Which studio?+
The one you choose. On activation they can switch between Gaia and Maia at the same number of classes a week. Yellow covers both; Off-Peak is Maia only.
Can I give it to someone who is already a member?+
Not to someone with an active plan, for now. A former member can receive and activate it.
What if they never use it?+
You can ask for a full refund as long as the voucher hasn't been activated or expired. Once activated there is no refund; after twelve months it expires.
Do I get an invoice?+
Yes, always, in your name, with your tax number or as a final consumer, by e-mail.
Do they need to install anything?+
They need a Portuguese mobile number that receives SMS. They open the link, confirm the code and the account is created. The app runs in the browser.
Can I give it without knowing their schedule?+
Yes. The recipient picks the studio, the days and the times, class by class, in the app.
