Question 2

How much do classes cost?

Accepted Answer

We have two different types of classes - Equipment and Mat. Equipment classes are $45 each or $35 with a package (come on, we know you can't come only once!). Mat classes include our fitness classes and are $25 each or $20 with a package. Private sessions and duets vary based on instructor. From time to time we have teachers in training  offering classes at a reduced rate. We highly encourage you to try them out as it's a bargain and you're helping them become certified.

We want you to be comfortable and able to move, but don't wear clothes that are too baggy - we need to be able to see your form to make sure you are exercising correctly.

Question 10

What is pilates?

Accepted Answer

Pilates is a physical and mental fitness program developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. Using proper body mechanics, controlled movements, pelvic stabilization, and coordinated breathing, Pilates focuses on flexibility and strength to create a balance in the body. By correcting posture, Pilates can strengthen your body against future injuries. Because Pilates focuses on the connection between the mind and body, it also offers meditative benefits - increased energy, improved concentration and better coordination. Plus it's fun!!

Question 11

What is the difference between equipment and mat classes?

Accepted Answer

While Pilates equipment and mat classes provide similar benefits, it is generally best to combine both in your Pilates journey. The key to Pilates is creating resistance in your own body.  You can accomplish this using either a mat, where your own body weight creates resistance, or a reformer, where pulleys and springs create resistance for you. The Pilates equipment perfectly aligns your body while you’re working out and adds resistance to all of your exercises, while mat classes challenge you because you are responsible for maintaining the Pilates form and alignment on your own. And because Pilates is all about the quality of the movement over the quantity of reps, the most connections are made by combining both mat and equipment throughout your practice.

Question 12

How often should I practice pilates?

Accepted Answer

Like anything, consistency is key. By coming once a week, you will see improvement, because something is always better than nothing. Coming twice a week will accelerate the changes you feel.  Three times will see the fastest improvement. We recommend taking a variety of classes and working with a variety of instructors to find the best combination for you and your body. Pilates is like taking a hot shower - it always makes you feel better!

Question 13

What are the benefits of pilates?

Accepted Answer

Pilates is known for building strength using low-impact movements that are easy on the joints. The Pilates workout targets every muscle group, but it’s most well-known for building core strength — which will lead to better posture and alignment, better balance, and increased stability. Pilates also lengthens your muscles to improve your flexibility (if you haven’t been able to touch your toes for years, that’s about to change). In addition to strength, we offer more cardio focused classes like FIRE and FRNO. Whatever benefit you’re looking to get out of your workout, we can help.
