Q: How long are the sessions?

All private sessions and group classes are 55 minutes to allow for clean up and a smooth transition between clients.

Q: How often should I come in?

Any amount of Pilates is beneficial, and it is something you could do every day! For most clients, we recommend 2-3 times per week in order to achieve consistent and noticeable results. Joseph Pilates recommended doing Pilates 3 times a week. Like anything, the more you do it, the quicker your body and mind will understand the exercises and feel and see progress.

Q: Will Pilates help me lose weight?

Even if you don’t lose a pound, you will look like you have because your posture and body shape will be stronger and straighter. Pilates will help you lengthen and strengthen every muscle in your body. By doing so you will burn calories more efficiently. Pilates combined with a healthy diet and cardio activity is a great healthy way to lose weight. Your body will also change shape doing Pilates. You will stand up straighter, your abdominals will be flatter and more engaged, and your shoulders will stack on top of your hips.

Q: Is Pilates only for women?

No way! While Pilates is often associated with women, it was created by a man named Joseph Pilates to benefit both men and women. We welcome everyone, and many athletes and men enjoy the benefits of increased core strength, control, and stability.

Q: Can I do Pilates if I have an injury?

Yes, Pilates is a beneficial tool for injury recovery and rehabilitation, and our certified instructors will offer the necessary modifications. Pilates offers a low-impact approach to exercise, focusing on controlled movements and core engagement, which can aid in restoring range of motion, building strength, and improving flexibility without further aggravating the injury. We have experience with clients with hip replacements, knee replacements, shoulder injuries, broken toes, broken wrists, and much more. We can help you modify for just about every issue. Be sure to let us know before your class or private session so we can guide you accordingly.

Q: Do I need any experience?

We don’t expect you to have any prior knowledge. We can help you get from wherever you are to where you want to be.

Q: How do I get started?

If you are new to Pilates or haven’t done Pilates in awhile, we ask that you start with our new client intro offer of 2 private sessions at a discounted rate. You will learn the fundamentals of Pilates to ensure you get the most out of your practice. Remember, Pilates is a journey, and it takes time to build strength and improve your skills. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process!
