A: Wear clothes you are comfortable with and can easily move in. Something more form-fitting is always preferred to an overlarge T-shirt so that we can properly see your connections and alignment. No you do not need shoes, only socks. If you forget your socks we keep clean socks that we wash ourselves for you to borrow.

A: We have many clients who see an improvement in lengthening and posture after only a few sessions. Everyone's body is different and therefore people see results in different amounts of time. Two things have a major impact on how soon you see results: how often you workout and proper nutrition.

A: In order to see results in the shortest period of time, we recommend 2-3 times per week. This quickens the toning and strengthening of the body and helps to make your positive changes more permanent.

A: If you are concerned with any injury or any other medical condition, it is advised that you speak with your doctor before participating in any new exercise program. Our instructors are trained to be able to work with different types of injuries and modify all exercises for your benefit and safety. Pilates is very therapeutic and will help you rebuild muscle strength after your injury.  We also highly recommend private sessions for any clients with moderate to severe injuries.

A: Not a problem. Flexibility is not a requirement for Pilates. Improved flexibility is, however, an outcome.

A: Absolutely not. We recommend all clients new to Pilates to start with a private session so that you may receive one-on-one training. However, if privates sessions are not available to you, we do offer beginner group classes for new clients.

A: We are a fully equipped Pilates studio. We have mats with accompanying Tower wall units, contemporary and classical style reformers, a cadillac, high chair, wunda chair, ladder barrel, arc barrels, weight equipment, and various accessories such as stability balls and Magic Circles.

A: Sue, the owner, completed over 600 hours in a training program in Authentic Pilates™. The rest of our instructors completed over 600 hours in the Body Awareness training program.

A: We have no monthly fees or any kind of contract in our program. You pay only for the sessions you attend and there is no minimum purchase or requirement to the number of sessions that must be attended. We do offer a one-time lifetime membership for $50. This allows you to purchase single sessions or a group of sessions at one time for a reduced price. For all of the details on pricing visit our Prices and Scheduling page.

A: Many of our clients are only here for part of the year. You have the option to pay for your session each time you come or may purchase multiple sessions. You don't lose them when you leave. The sessions are good for one year from date of purchase. Your sessions will still be here when you return within that year. You can always ask a receptionist when your sessions will expire to know if you need to use them all before you leave. Sessions can not be refunded but may be transferred to a family member or friend.
