What is Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates is a workout that uses a machine called a reformer to build the foundation for proper form in a full-body workout that targets strength, flexibility, and stability. The reformer works your body in a challenging, low-impact way that is easy on the joints. This is an exercise that uses muscle movement, not momentum, with minimal risk and helps with injury prevention and rehab.
What is Hot Pilates
The infrared heat of hot pilates penetrates your body to loosen your muscles, making it easier to stretch, move, and recover. The heat encourages sweating, which helps flush out toxins and speeds up the metabolism. All classes in the hot room will be at a maximum range of 95-100 degrees.
What do I need to know for my first class?
Please arrive 5 minutes early to your first class. The instructor will go over the use of the reformer and how to operate it, show you around the studio, and answer any questions.
Do I need sticky socks?
Sticky socks are required for all reformer classes. They can be purchased at the studio.
What do I wear/bring to hot class?
All hot classes require a yoga towel to cover the mats. Towels can be rented at the studio.
What do I wear/bring to reformer class?
The same attire that you’d wear to the gym or a yoga class. We recommend tights, leggings, or shorts. Sticky socks are required in Reformer classes and a large yoga towel for all Hot classes.
