The Classes

We offer classes for all fitness levels and private sessions can be tailored to meet your individual needs.

The Apparatus

What is reformer Pilates?

The reformer is a sliding carriage on a frame, with springs, a footbar, and straps for your hands and feet. The springs add resistance to classic Pilates movements, and they are easy on your joints.

Your instructor changes the springs to make each exercise harder or more supportive, so the same machine works for you on your first day and every class after.
