Pilates FAQ

I have low back problems, will this help?
Yes. The reformer can help you! It works with the forces of gravity instead of against them.

The class always begins with the student on their back, which means the body, especially the low back, is supported immediately, allowing the student a safe place to work within their own comfort level and range of motion. A sensation you can’t get in a lot of other workouts.

I’m very out of shape, is that okay?
Yes, you have to start somewhere and we are here to help. We offer an Introduction package for the Pilates Reformer classes that is a really good option for first time students. In three sessions, we can help you become comfortable on the machine so you can take the Group Reformer Classes and work on your health and fitness goals.
