Studio Core Information
You will need to have at least one intro to reformer class at our studio - OR from another studio - to sign up for a group reformer class. If you are new to reformer you can either you sign up for our FREE Fundamentals class on Tuesday nights at 5:00pm or you can take a discounted Intro to Reformer private session at your convenience. If neither of these options works for you reach out and we can come up with a creative solution.
Because there are only 6 reformers in our studio, it is best to sign up in advance to ensure you can reserve a spot in class. For morning classes (anything before noon), there is an 12hr cancellation window to avoid being charged for the class. For afternoon classes--anything noon or later--there is a 6hr cancellation window. That said you can absolutely sign up for any class at the last minute if there is space. (Of course, the disadvantage of waiting is that the class may be full by the time you try to sign up). Additionaly, private lessons have a 24 hour cancellation period.
Good question! Students clean their reformers and equipment with an anti bacterial solution thoroughly after every use. We ask ANY student who is significantly sick to stay home out of respect for your class mates. If you have a minor cold you may attend but please consider wearing a mask. Additionally we have the studio cleaned professionally once a week. We also have two filters in class to help keep air moving if we can't open the door.
No sneakers required for Pilates! We ask you to workout barefoot OR to bring sticky socks with rubber on the bottom that are designed for pilates. We do sell two kinds of socks at the studio if you want to purchase some. Unfortunately your feet will slip if you use regular socks. We clean the machines after every use in order to keep them sanitary.
The beauty of pilates is that we can modify any exercise and adjust the spring tension to meet the clients' needs. If you are local and brand new to reformer, be sure to take a discounted "Intro to Reformer Private" session OR the Tuesday night Fundamentals group class. Be sure to tell your instructor about any injuries. If you have done pilates but need a slower paced class to get started again, consider joining our Ease class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On top of all that, if you have a complicated injury history, have very specific goals, or just want to take a little more time before jumping into the group environment, you can always sign up for a private lessons to prepare you to transition to the group setting.
It depends. I think EVERYONE should do a private at least once. You will get a level of focused attention that will help your group practice immensely. Consider privates if you have injuries, are working on very specific goals, want lots of personalized feedback, or want a session that is designed just for you.
