STUDIO POLICIES & FAQs
A few things that keep our studio thriving
Setting expectations up front keeps classes safe, fair, and running smoothly for you, the teachers, and everyone.
Arrival & lateness
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can begin together. If you're more than 5 minutes late, you may not be able to join — once class begins, the warm-up can't be missed and the teacher's focus is on the group.
Clothing & safety
Wear comfortable, fitted clothing that lets you move freely — loose pieces can catch in the equipment. Grip socks must be worn, long hair tied back, and please avoid zippers or sharp details, and gum or sweets during class.
Cancellations & rescheduling
Please cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours before your class (24 hours for privates) so others on the waitlist can join. Later cancellations and no-shows are charged as a class used — this keeps things fair and the schedule running smoothly.
Photos & videos
You're welcome to take photos of the studio and tag us, and short clips of just you, taken discreetly. Please no tripods or filming of the full class; this protects everyone's privacy and our class content.
Equipment care
Please be mindful and respectful when using the equipment, moving with care. After class, kindly clean your Reformer and any props you've used — we love keeping the studio fresh, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

Reformer Pilates isn’t a traditional cardio workout, but it can definitely get your heart rate up on occasions - especially in our dynamic classes where we increase pace, add resistance, and flow through challenging sequences. The use of heavier springs or hand weights adds intensity and metabolic benefits, giving you strength and cardio in one session. You can opt in or out of heavier or dynamic options in our classes.

While Pilates isn’t focused on weight loss, it absolutely contributes to it as part of a healthy, active lifestyle. It builds lean muscle mass (which boosts metabolism), improves posture, reduces stress (and cortisol), and supports other healthy choices like better sleep and nutrition.
Most of all, it helps you feel strong and capable in your body - which often leads to more consistent movement and confidence in other areas of life.
