Pilates is a methodology of training created by Joseph Pilates in Germany. Focuses on the core musculature and correct human body alignment of your spine, Pilates lengthens and strengthens the body while remaining gentle on your nervous system, joints and body overall.

Our studio is furnished with STOTT Pilates or Merrithew equipment. We are furnished with classical pilates equipment, such as the reformer, ladder barrel, chair and cadilliac. Click here to learn more about each piece of equipment in detail. 

We would never turn you away, but we highly encourage our class members to have taken pilates before. We would encourage you to maybe consider signing up for a duet session (if you wanted to workout with a friend) or a 1-on-1 in order to build a foundation and gain a basic understanding of the equipment and exercises that will come up throughout a class as to not take away from other client's class experiences. 

YES! We offer a discounted price on a private session for new clients, which will allow you to learn your personalized setting on the reformer and allow you to get accustomed to what Pilates is all about. Please refer to our pricing guide here for more information. 

Our classes only accommodate 3 people at a time, so we ask that everyone schedule what classes they want to attend ahead of time to secure their spot. Each class will fill up quickly and you may end up being put on a waitlist until future classes get added to the schedule. 

Being that our classes only accommodate 3 people at a time, we ask that you don't bring someone along with you unless it was confirmed with your instructor that there is room. If you are looking to workout with a friend, your best bet is to check out our Duet Sessions. Learn more here.

Class cancellations must be canceled within 12 hours of your class and 1-on-1 private training cancellations must be canceled within 24 hours of your session before being charged for that session. We require an advanced notice in order to accommodate other clients who may need to make arrangements to take your spot. 

Your comfort is more important than anything, so wear what you are confident in. Although, we do suggest tighter fitting activewear in order for the trainer to be able to see the outline of your body to gauge what your spine is doing throughout the exercises.

Pilates is also performed without shoes, so we suggest getting a pair of sticky socks to help keep you stable throughout the workout! If you don't have a pair, no worries! We offer them for purchase in-house.

As long as you have clearance from your doctor, Pilates is a perform form of gentle exercise for anyone, including women who are pregnant! I would recommend sticking with private session, so that everything can be accommodated to you and as to not take away from other client's class expereinces. 

Yes. Pilates was a form of physical therapy before physical therapy was respected by the medical profession. As long as you have clearance from your doctor, pilates is a great form of gently exercise for anyone recovering from an injury.

We love this idea for birthday parties or girlfriends wanting a class together, but we would have to consider on a case by case basis. If this is something that interests you, contact us here!
