frequently asked questions

how often should i do pilates?

We recommend three times a week if this is your only form of exercise and your goals are large and have a specific time frame (like a wedding coming up). To continue to gain progress we recommend two times per week. Once a week will help you to maintain current alignment and flexibility if you are doing other physical activity. We can help you create a schedule you can commit too. For example: one private a week and two group classes.

Your first session will include a 5-10 minute introduction to the studio and goal setting with your instructor followed by 45 minutes of movement. a Private lessons are scheduled for 50 minutes. Group Equipment and Mat Classes are 45 minutes.

Please wear formfitting attire you would typically wear to a gym or yoga class. For Men- long shorts and a t-shirt are perfect. For Women- Capri length pants are preferred and a form fitting t-shirt or tank top. You can work out with socks or bare feet. Please avoid attire with zippers as it tears our equipment. It is best to leave jewelry off as well.

Pilates is for every body. At our studio we have over 10 men who regularly attend Pilates. We have clients ranging in age from their 20’s up to their late 70’s. The greatest benefit of one on one Pilates is we look at YOU and YOUR NEEDS. We don’t just give the same thing and same corrections to everyone. We help all our clients do their best. The most often heard phrase in our studio after a client workout is “WOW! I feel so much better! Thank you!”

Joseph Pilates had a famous quote “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see a difference, and in 30 sessions you will feel like you have a completely new body.” This is based on clients who attend 3 times per week and are able to focus and concentrate on the exercises. We also recommend taking measurements. Inches will decrease before you see a difference on the scale.

As long a doctor has cleared you to exercise, don’t worry. Our instructors are trained for over 600 hours minimum. We communicate with you to make sure you are not in pain. We can work around any injury until you are ready to strengthen it again.

Don’t worry! We recommend everyone start with 3 private sessions so we can meet you where you are in your fitness level. You aren’t being compared to anyone. Often, going slower helps you really feel your muscles more deeply and gives amazing results.

Group Class: You may cancel anytime before 12 hours from the start of your session with no penalty and no lost class credits.

If you have a membership and cancel within 12 hours from the start of class or no show, you will receive a $20 cancellation fee.

If you have a credit package and cancel within 12 hours from the start of class or no show, you will lose the class credit that you booked with rather than receiving a penalty fee.

Private Sessions: 24 Hour Cancellation. You will lose the session credit from your profile.

Our class times primarily occur at less busy times at the studio. There is only one teacher present. To maintain building security the main building door locks at class time. Please give ample time to arrive.

Running behind for a private? The instructor is ready and waiting for you. The session will start upon your arrival and complete at regularly schedule time.

There is ample parking at our location. Ground level. Please lock your doors as we are next door to a very busy Katy Trail!

For a duet private session - ABSOLUTELY!! Just give your instructor a heads up.

For classes - we only accept walk ins if there is space available within the class. Please contact us ahead of time.
