Guidelines

Whether you’re an experienced Pilates practitioner or a complete beginner, your safety and enjoyment are our top priority. Therefore, we’ve introduced these policies to ensure that everyone can have a safe and fun Pilates experience. The following guidelines will help you get the most out of every session.
  • Turn off all cell phones and pagers to minimize disturbance during class.
  • Discontinue eating one hour before class, and bring bottled water.
  • Arrive 5-10 minutes early for warmup and apparatus setup.
  • Wear comfortable-fitting (not baggy) clothing, such as tights, leotards, shorts, and tank tops. For women, please do not wear men’s t-shirts.
  • Men should wear proper tight-fitting underwear or cycle shorts. Shirts should be tucked into shorts.
  • Inform the instructor of any changes to your health status or any newly acquired injuries.
  • No shoes. We recommend that you participate barefoot or with toe-socks. Personal foot straps are available for purchase.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry, such as bracelets and necklaces, which may be caught in the springs.
  • Refrain from using lotions and creams, as it increases slipping risk. Additionally, abstain from wearing fragrances.
  • Long hair must be tied back. Elastic hair ties are provided for those with long hair.
  • Do not practice Pilates under the influence of alcohol or drugs (even prescribed drugs) that may affect your physical abilities or balance.
  • Chewing gum is prohibited.
If you are taking a session with us for the first time:
  • Expect helpful and specific feedback and corrections on your exercise form.
  • Prior to your first session, all necessary paperwork and initial assessments must be completed. Please call in advance to schedule this appointment.

  • Pregnancy
  • Past Injuries (Whiplash, Sprains, Unstable Joints, Disc Problems, etc.)
  • Prescription Drug Use
  • Chronic Disease (Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Knee/Hip Replacements, etc.)
