You’ll see some of our classes identified as Classical or Contemporary. These describe the style of Pilates you can expect, not the difficulty of the class.

Classical Pilates stays closer to Joseph Pilates’ original exercises and sequencing, with a strong focus on control, precision and technique.

Contemporary Pilates takes those same Pilates foundations and blends them with modern movement and exercise science, allowing for a broader range of exercises, variations and creative progressions.

Both are Pilates, just different approaches to the practice. We recommend trying both to find what you most enojy!

Absolutely! You can join either a Beginner Basics or All Levels class.

If it’s your first time on the reformer, we recommend starting with at least one Beginner Basics class. It moves at a slightly slower pace, with more time to learn and repeat movements, get familiar with the reformer and build confidence before progressing into All Levels.

If you can’t make it to a Beginner Basics class first due to scheduling, you can still join All Levels — just arrive 10 minutes early and let your instructor know it’s your first time so they can give you a quick run-through of the reformer before class begins.

We also offer a free 30-minute Intro to Reformer once a month. This is completely optional, but it’s a great way to try the reformer, learn how the equipment works and get comfortable before jumping into your first full class.

All you need is a bottle of water to stay hydrated and your grip socks. If you don’t have grip socks yet, don’t worry - you can grab a pair at the studio or through our booking system!

Although we do sell grip socks in studio, you do not need to buy them from us! They are available from a wide range of retailers including department stores and Amazon.

Please arrive no more than 5-10 mins before your class. If you’re earlier than that, kindly wait until an instructor opens the studio door. For everyone’s comfort, we keep the studio door locked during classes to ensure the session isn’t disturbed.

All classes start with a mandatory warm up. This is to make sure your body is ready for exercise and you have the range of motion and don’t cause an injury. If you miss the warm you will be refused entry into the class by your instructor.

If it’s your very first reformer class, you must arrive at least 10 minutes early. Your instructor will need time before class to give you a quick run-through of the reformer, explain how the equipment works and make sure you’re comfortable and ready to begin. Unfortunately, if you don’t arrive early enough for this introduction, you won’t be able to join the class.

We do not have designated spaces for parking. The closest parking lot is next to Nesters or opposite the Post Office.

Wear comfortable activewear that allows you to move freely. Grip socks are a must for safety - they can be purchased through our booking system at checkout or in the studio. Please tie hair back, and note that any jewellery is worn at your own risk.

All of our classes are 50 minutes long. Classes start promptly at the start time and we ask that you stay until the end of class for the safety and enjoyment of you and the other members in class!

We kindly ask that you wipe down your machine & collect your belongings promptly after each session. This allows the next group a moment to settle in.

There are bathrooms which are apart of our building next to the pilates studio. There is a code (6589*) for the bathrooms which is written in class by the window, or you can ask your instructor. There are no showers.

Shoes aren’t allowed in the studio. When you arrive, you’ll find a shoe rack where you can leave them before class.

Yes. We require all our clients to be 16 years and older.

You are most likely able to attend, but please check with your physician or medical professional before attending class. If you do choose to attend, please let your instructor know before class.

When you add yourself to the waitlist, no credit is deducted at that time.

If a spot becomes available, the system will automatically move you from the waitlist into the class, and your credit will be applied at that point. Once you are added to the class, the regular cancellation policy applies.

If you know you can no longer attend, we recommend removing yourself from the waitlist so you are not automatically added if a spot opens.

The waitlist also has a 1-hour cut-off, meaning you will not be automatically added to a class within 60 minutes of the start time so you still have enough time to make it.

Waitlists move more than you might expect — adding yourself gives you a great chance of getting into class.

To book a class, you’ll need to have an active membership or a class credit on your account. Each reformer class is worth 1 credit. For example, if you purchase a drop-in pass, it will give you 1 credit, which you can then redeem when registering for a class.

Once you have credits available, simply log in, choose your preferred class time, and book your spot.

Membership credits renew based on your personal billing cycle, not the calendar month. That means your credits refresh on the same date each month, depending on when you signed up.

You can use your credits however you like — all in one week or spread them out.

Just a heads-up:

• If you use up all your credits before your billing cycle resets, you’ll need to wait until your next cycle for new credits to be added.

• Unused credits do not roll over, so be sure to book in when you can!

Yes. It is important to pre-book your classes as we are a small studio of 7 beds so classes can book out.

You can book your classes up to 14 days in advance through our booking system.

For regular classes, we have a 12-hour cancellation policy to give everyone a fair chance to practice. Please cancel at least 12 hours in advance so others can join. Late cancellations will result in the loss of a class credit. If you cancel before this your class credit will be returned to you!

What if I forget to cancel and no show a class?

If you book a class and don’t attend, you’ll lose your class credit and be charged a $10 no-show fee.
