Where do I begin?
We suggest you start with a few private sessions, which includes the Initial Consultation. You will be introduced to the Pilates philosophy, terminology, and the different Pilates apparatuses. We want you to be familiar with your body’s strengths and needs, to work correctly from the beginning, and help formulate your personal goals. This introduction will also prepare you for group classes.

How often should I do Pilates?
For best results, Pilates should be practiced 2 to 3 times a week in order to maintain a mindful and continual progression. This may include any combination of classes. Consistency is the key to change.

What is the difference between Mat & Reformer work?
When working on the Reformer (a piece of equipment) your movements and the weight of your body are supported by the smooth movement of the movable carriage, as well as by a system of straps for the arms and legs. When you do Pilates on the Mat, you must support your body weight through the movements, which makes the work more difficult. However, the Mat work is a great way to make sure you really understand your body and the principles of the Pilates Method.

Will I lose weight doing Pilates?
Pilates alone is not a weight loss program. You must combine Pilates training with at least 3 days of cardiovascular (aerobic) activity in order to lose body fat. Pilates will reshape your body by creating lean and lengthened muscles that are designed to support your body in its most biomechanical efficient position. This is how Pilates lessens the risk of injury and can rehabilitate existing injuries.

What should I wear?
Clothing that is comfortable and not too loose. Try to avoid over-sized attire that would make it difficult for the instructor to observe your body during the session. Pilates is done in socks, no shoes.
