How is Pilates different from other fitness sessions? Collapse

What is Pilates?Pilates is an innovative method of mind-body exercise that combines strengthening, flexibility, and balance for a workout like you’ve never had before. Utilizing various apparatuses and props, each session is different and never like the one before.

Our instructors go through extensive anatomy and biomechanic training to offer a well-rounded and tailored workout specifically for your body type. Many of our students suffer from previous injuries or surgeries and it’s our job to be able to build a modifiable workout for each individual.

Pilates is a workout for someone who is searching for an exercise program that adapts to them, not something that they must adapt to.

Who can do Pilates? Expand

Who can do PilatesAnybody! It is one of the few, if not the only, fitness modalities adaptable to any body type.

Given the comprehensive training of our instructors and the versatility of the Pilates apparatuses, we are able to tailor, intensify, or omit exercises to suit student experience, body type, or individualized goals.

If I have a chronic injury or pain, can I do Pilates? Expand

Why choose PilatesYes! Pilates is often sought out for its gentle approach to fitness, therapy, and its unique flexible adaptability to any physical limitations or body type. Many of our clients have purposefully sought us out based on these considerations, and have since experienced tremendous physical therapy results within the Pilates discipline, following knee or hip replacements, back surgery, etc.

How should I begin? Expand

How do I start PilatesWe always recommend that all students begin with at least one private, four being more preferable. This allows for the best preparation for entering classes, learning about proper form, equipment safety, your personal fitness goals, and limitations.

What should I expect with a first private session? Expand

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

Virtual and In-Person Introductory Pilates Private: $35

What should I wear to a session? Expand

Form fitting clothes are best (nothing very baggy, think yoga wear) as it allows the teachers to read movement lines better. In addition, sometimes baggy clothes can be easy to slip or trip on during a class.

Are private or group lessons best? Expand

Private and Group Pilates LessonsThis all depends on personal preference and goals! The fastest way to achieve your own personal goals is through private sessions, however, many students enjoy the comradery of group classes and the more affordable price. Group classes are still very personal, with equipment classes no more than six people.

How often should I do Pilates? Expand

How soon do you want to see results? We recommend at least two times a week, three times being more preferable. Results, like many fitness programs, will only happen through consistency and dedication. The more you come, the better you will feel, and the quicker you will see results! Stick with it!

How long does it take to see results? Expand

Joseph Pilates famously said, “In 10 sessions, you’ll notice a difference, in 20 sessions, your friends will notice a difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.” Though there is no universal answer, the more consistent you are with the discipline, the faster you as a student will witness, experience, and feel long-term positive results.

What is different from attending a Pilates studio rather than watching a DVD at home? Expand

Our job as instructors is to make sure that you have a safe, healthy, and well-rounded workout tailored to your particular goals and body type. We go through extensive training in biomechanics and anatomy to address your individualized needs no matter what history of injury or physical limitations you may have. Not to mention, in a studio setting, you’ll have the benefit of personal and professional instructors able to identify individual areas of student need and to offer real-time insight in developing proper movement in light of those.

What are reformer/apparatus classes? Expand

What is a Pilates studioApparatus classes are done on the Pilates machines such as reformers, trapeze tables, or chairs. These classes are smaller (no more than six (6) 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.
