Class Types
Intro Class
New to reformer Pilates, our intro class sets you up for success before booking your first group class. We familiarize you with using our equipment and the foundations of Pilates to include proper breathing, body alignment, positioning, movement, sequencing, etc. Our Intro class is highly recommended if you have no prior experience. We spend roughly 5-8 minutes introducing you to our equipment, an overview of Pilates, and then guide you through approximately 30 minutes of low impact, full body exercises at a beginner's level. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can start on time.
Reformer Pilates
Our staple Pilates class offers a low-impact, full body workout using a specialized piece of equipment called the Reformer. This class focuses on core strength, flexibility and balance and can be tailored to suit various fitness levels. You’ll be guided through slow-moderate, controlled movement aimed at targeting specific muscles groups while lying, sitting, kneeling or standing (advanced) on the Reformer. You can expect to spend the majority of the class on the Reformer, but could transition to mat or another piece of equipment to add a bit of variety to your experience based on class level.
Center & Balance
With a name that pretty much speaks for itself, C&B focuses more on stretching and elongating the body versus strengthening. This class is typically slower in pace and more zen in nature. You will be led through light movement designed to increase body awareness, stability and control, allowing for more efficient movement in daily activities. Plus, you get the added benefit of deep stretching aimed to "center and balance" the body, increase flexibility, promote relaxation, and improve posture and alignment. You can expect some form of light, stability challenge with the assistance of props such as Bosu®, Pilates ball, etc. All levels welcome.
Restore & Reset
Practice self-care through a guided, full body, deep tissue massage in our R&R class. This class focuses on muscle recovery, flexibility, & joint mobility. It incorporates gentle movement, deep stretching, and mysofascial release using foam rollers and massage balls to aid in muscle recovery from your more intense workouts and daily activities. You'll leave feeling less tense and lighter. Slow pace. Not recommended for prenatal clients or those with diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, or varicose veins.
Mat Pilates (TRX® & Tower)
Here, we convert our reformers into large, comfortable mats/platforms to performer many classical Mat Pilates exercises and gain full use of our integrated tower system. Traditional mat-work challenges core strength, flexibility, and body control while the tower focuses on overall strength, spine mobility, and enhances flexibility through the use of vertical springs and bars. Our towers can also accommodate a TRK® (total resistance exercise) system to spice up your full body experience. The combination of your body weight and the TRX® system adds an element of instability and resistance that challenges your muscles and improves balance and coordination. Moderate pace. Considered Intermediate if using TRX®, but modifiable to all levels.
Cardio + Sculpt
Get your heart rate up, burn calories, and fire up your glutes with this fun, high-energy Pilates-based cardio workout that is still low impact and easier on your joints compared to traditional cardio workouts. In fact, research has shown that jump board Pilates can help increase bone density. C+S incorporates cardio, strength training and stretching exercises. If you desire a boast in your Pilates routine that challenges your endurance and coordination, then this class is for you. You can expect to actively engage in some form of cardio training via an upbeat, choreographed jump board routine and/or other apparatuses but you will not jump the entire class. We teach you how to properly jump and land, as we build your confidence to perform each move while having fun with it. Moderate pace. Not recommended for pre/post natal clients or those with hypertension, advanced musculoskeletal disorders, severe osteoporosis, severe heart conditions, acute injuries. All levels welcome.

HIIT Pilates
A marriage between the principles of High Intensity Interval Training and Pilates. Here, you’ll get the best of both worlds: quick bursts of high intensity exercises followed by short rest periods coupled with the low-impact, core-focused, strength and flexibility benefits of Pilates. This fusion class can lead to increased calorie burn, core strength, and improved cardiovascular health.
