pilates and more for the mountain minded
group classes
essentials
This fundamentals class is great for students who want to focus on form and build strength from the inside out at a moderate tempo. We will prioritize the reformer, but may add in other equipment to keep things interesting! We can challenge and support all levels in this class by adjusting spring tension and making positions more or less intense. This class will emphasize stability and tone. Note: If you have never been on a reformer you need to take the Fundamentals class or the "Intro to Reformer Private" first.
strength
This class will focus on increasing strength using heavier spring tensions with an emphasis on fatiguing muscles and building capacity. We will use a variety of equipment including the reformer, chair, tower, mat, and more. As long as you have taken at least one reformer class before, we can accommodate different abilities by increasing or decreasing the springs as needed. Note: If you have never been on a reformer, you need to take the Fundamentals class or an "Intro to Reformer Private" first.
burn
This higher tempo class will build endurance and increases your heart rate using a variety of equipment including the reformer, jumpboard, bosu, trx, and more! All abilities are welcome to join this class, but it does tend to move quicker and with more burning! If you are still gaining confidence with the reformer or with your endurance, consider trying a strength class first. Note: If you have never been on a reformer, you need to take the Fundamentals class or an "Intro to Reformer Private" first.
flex
This class is part hard work and part stretch! You're welcome :-). After challenging you're muscles during the first 40-45 minutes, you will spend the last quarter of the class improving flexibility. Follow up resistance and strength work with release & lengthening to add balance to your training. If you are anything like us, we could all prioritize stretching more. Note: If you have never used a reformer, sign up for the Fundamentals class or an "Intro to Reformer Private" first.
mat
Mat pilates focuses on your core, which doesn't mean doing an hour of sit ups! In pilates, "core" refers to your power center... strengthening and stabilizing everything from your thighs to your armpits. This class is rooted in essential pilates principles that can improve your reformer practice so that you don't overly rely on the springs. It is the perfect all levels class to focus on the heart of what pilates is all about! Note: An intro reformer class is NOT required in advance of the mat class.
ease
EASE is a slow, controlled, alignment focused class for those who want to practice pilates with some "ease". It is taught by physical therapist and veteran pilates instructor Dr. Rebekah Donley, DPT. Its designed for seniors, pregnant or post-partum women, injury rehabilitation, those still gaining fitness, or anyone wanting to take it slow and focused. Note: It is NOT necessary to take the introductory reformer foundations class prior to participating in the Ease class.
fundamentals
If you are a local and it is your first time on a reformer, this FREE introductory class is required prior to taking our other reformer classes. The Fundamentals class is Tuesdays at 5pm. It is slightly slower pace and teaches more moderate exercises so you can focus on foundational pilates movements and principles.. Typically students join group classes after a single intro class, but your instructor may determine that you would benefit from an additional private lesson
pilates & pbr (men only)
Hey Gents Our signature men's only pilates class is on Monday nights at 6pm. (Yes, we actually give you a PBR afterwards!). To be clear, men take ALL of our classes, but this is a chance to shake off any pilates nerves in a dudes-only setting...no leggings required! Meet other guys and challenge yourself without worrying if you can touch your toes. We promise, you will get your butt kicked! NOTE: We accommodate all levels in this class and reformer experience is NOT required prior to our men's class.
cancellation policy
Since there are only 6 reformers in the studio it is best to sign up in advance to ensure you get a space in a class. For AM classes (anything before noon), there is an 12hr cancellation window in order to avoid being charged for the class. For PM classes (noon or later), there is a 6hr cancellation window. That said you can sign up at anytime for group classes, even at the last minute! You just can't be guanteed a spot! FYI: private sessions have a 24hr cancellation policy. ​
