The Pilates Method is an investment in your overall health and wellness. Each individual has a unique body type with his or her own fitness challenges. BodyWave Pilates highly recommends all new clients start with an Initial Consultation and Privates Sessions.

Initial Consultation:
The Initial Consultation is a one hour private session which includes an individual evaluation and postural assessment. You will be introduced to the fundamentals and principles of Pilates as well as some of the Pilates equipment. We will discuss your personal goals to help plan the direction of your Pilates experience with us. Dress appropriately for a workout.

Private Session:
We focus your private sessions to your body's specific needs. A wide range of Pilates equipment (reformer, tower, chair, spine corrector, ladder barrel) and mat will be utilized during your hour session. The first visit will be the initial consultation.

Introductory Pilates Class

If you are new to Pilates and prefer a group setting, start with our Introductory Pilates class.  Learn the fundamental principals of breathing, core connection, postural alignment, coordination and joint mobility.  This class will utilize the mat and reformer.

Mat Class

A solid mat foundation is key to progressing in the Pilates Method.  Our mat classes build upon the six principles of Pilates: control, concentration, center, precision, flow and breath. The Pilates fundamentals, which include pelvic stability, joint mobility, spinal imprinting/alignment and core engagement are equally essential to mastering the Pilates Method.

Reformer Class

The Reformer is a highly specialized piece of equipment that features a bed-like platform, which slides along tracks with a spring system for resistance. The challenge of exercising on this equipment comes from the spring system and maintaining balance and control on a moving surface, all the while focused on the core and alignment.

A minimum of 5 private sessions is required prior to entering a reformer class.
The five private sessions will instruct you in the fundamentals of Pilates, proper body alignment as well as the basic exercises that are performed regularly on the Reformer.  Please call the studio to schedule your sessions.

Exo Chair Class

The Exo Chair is one of the most challenging pieces of Pilates equipment in terms of building strength in the legs and shoulders while still giving the benefits of added core stability.  Adding the resistance tubes provides a full body workout, training every major muscle group.  Some exercises that could only be done on the Cadillac or Reformer can be performed using this unique chair system. This class is open to anyone with previous mat or reformer experience.

Combo Class

A unique workout using the reformer, exo chair, tower or jumpboard.   Previous experience on the reformer is required.

Pilates Tower Class

The pilates tower is sometimes referred to as the 1/2 cadillac or trapeze table.  This unique apparatus is a horizontal table with a tall wooden frame on one end.   This frame has an assortment of levers, springs and strap attachments.  The tower utilizes spring-based resistance with the push-through bar, roll back bar, leg springs and arm springs to challenge and strengthen the entire body.  Mat or reformer experience required.

Props Class

A unique Pilates workout using a variety of Pilates props.  Enhance your workout using the foam roller, theraband, pilates circle, mini balls or physio balls.

All Classes are 55 minutes in length
