How to Get Started?

What should I expect with a first private session?

Pure Movement offers virtual or in-person introductory sessions for $45.

The introductory private is 50 minutes.

An instructor will take you through the basic Pilates principles, including form, technique, breathing, and equipment usage.

In addition, your personal fitness and movement goals will be addressed, including any limitations you may have from previous injuries or surgeries. This is exceptionally important as many students continue into group classes.

Don't be afraid to ask questions: Pilates is a continuous, mindful journey and we want you to be as successful as possible.

Follow the link below to fill out a waiver, purchase the intro private, and then request an appointment.

If you have any issues with any of the steps or just want to chat, you may contact us via email at info@puremovementstudio.com or you can call or text us at 260-420-1000 to schedule your first appointment.
We are open six (6) days per week, and will flexibly schedule you with an instructor based on your goals, needs, and availability.

Are private or group lessons best?

What are Pilates group apparatus classes?

Group studio apparatus classes are done on the Pilates machines such as reformers, chairs, or various Pilates props. These classes are smaller (no more than seven (7) people) and are recommended for those who want a more tailored workout for their own individual needs with a well-rounded combination of stretching and strengthening. Classes are kept small and size is determined based on the individualized needs/goals of the group.

Some of our classes incorporate other fitness modalities such as suspension and barre work. This ensures that our classes are never dull and offer something for everyone.

How to set up payment and scheduling?

You can use the MindBody app to keep track of your available classes, either as a package or membership. We find that students who commit to a schedule, in the beginning, have the greatest success getting used to the. method and making it a part of their routine.

If you need to change your schedule. Just cancel and edit either online or via our MindBody app. We do have a 24-hour cancellation policy but are considerate that things do come up. The sooner you let us know of a cancellation inside of the 24-hour window, the faster we can get someone to cover the spot.

Waitlisted for a class? You will be notified via email or text (whichever method of communication you've selected as your preference) if you are removed from the waitlist. Add yourself to the list - it often moves so please be patient.
