How to Get Started in group classes:
If you have prior Pilates or movement experience you are welcome to simply make a class reservation and get started.
If you would prefer to have a little more personal instruction prior to attending your first class then we recommend our Pilates Start Up Package. It includes 1 private training session aimed at getting you both mat and group reformer ready as well as 1 group reformer class and 1 pilates mat class. This package is also available for semi private training sessions. Cost is $100 for one person. Purchase NOW
What is the benefit to the start up package?
The information taught in our training sessions saves you time and money by preventing you from taking classes and not understanding how to properly perform the exercises. Think of Pilates classes like taking ballet or playing in a basketball game. You would need to understand the fundamentals of each discipline to expect to see results from them. Pilates is the same. Don't be fooled by the classes taught at most health clubs today. If your class has more than 12 students in it or if your instructor is participating in your class you are not taking a Pilates mat class.
How often should you do Pilates?
At least twice a week to see results. Joseph Pilates, the creator of the method, was quoted saying, "after 10 sessions you feel different, after 20 sessions you look different and after 30 sessions you have a new body." Give Pilates time and it will change your body. There is no debate on that statement. If you are doing Pilates less than twice a week your results are prolonged and often discouragement settles in and students discontinue their practice with the assumption that Pilates is not having and impact on their bodies. You have to commit and you have to be consistent.
We recommend that you do a Pilates mat class once a week and a group reformer class once a week for a total body transformation. If you able to attend more than twice a week then you decide based on your preferences and schedule availability which type of class you would then like to attend.
How to book classes/appointments:
We have an online scheduling system with a link located in the main navigation menu. From here you will create an account that allows you to book all of your class reservations as well as training appointments. You can also use this system to make purchases and cancel appointments and reservations if necessary. Please note that we require reservations for all classes. We minimize the number of students permitted into all of our classes in order to maintain a hands on teaching environment. Your instructors use the class reservation roster to plan and design your classes so that you are always enjoying a customized class.
Canceling class reservations/training appointments:
This can either be done through the online system or by phone. We do not accept email cancellations.
24 hours notice for all personal training sessions. Penalty is loss of session
3 hours for all class reservations. Penalty is $8 for a late mat class cancellation and $20 for a late equipment class cancellation.
