Pilates is for anyone and everyone

 FAQs

  • Pilates focuses on strengthening and lengthening the entire body, muscle by muscle. Each class provides a full body workout, while there will likely be a focus on 1 or 2 body parts. Pilates is suitable for all levels of fitness and experience. See class descriptions to find the one that is best for you.

  • You do not need to be flexible and fit in order to start Pilates. In fact, doing Pilates will make you fit and flexible.

  • If you have never done Pilates but you exercise regularly and are ready to introduce Pilates to your training you are welcome to join our Level 1 class to learn the basics of the machine and fundamentals of Pilates. You are welcome to join the Level 1.5 class if you are looking for more of a challenge.

    If you have never done Pilates nor do you exercise regularly, you should get to know your body, the reformer and the Pilates method by joining a Level 1 class.

  • We provide all equipment including mats. Grip socks are mandatory for reformer classes: bring your own or purchase some in studio. Of course, bring your own water bottle; we don’t want to be sharing those.

  • Pilates, like any form of exercise, can help you lose weight if you do it regularly. But what determines if you will do it regularly is how much you enjoy doing it. While the Pilates method encourages strict form, at Prime Pilates, we also want it to be fun. Our compassionate instructors and energizing playlists make each class a fun activity you look forward to instead of a chore you avoid.

CLASS TYPES

reformer foundation

Reformer Foundation- Level 1 (beginner): In this class you will learn the essential parts of this machine as well as your body as you move through the foundational exercises of reformer Pilates. Suitable for beginners.

Reformer Level 2 Flow            

In this intermediate-advanced class we move through a series of Pilates exercises. Each exercise challenges your strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.                                                       “This class is an honest workout. I can’t cheat and I can see the imbalances in my body” 

Reformer Level 1.5

Reformer Level 1.5 (Beginner/Intermediate): This class is the next step to test your strength, balance, and mobility before moving to Level 2. It is best to do a few Level 1 classes before joining Level 1.5

Reformer Level 2 jump            

This intermediate class is cardio for those who don’t like cardio. The footbar is replaced with a jumpboard so we can get the heart rate up by making the exercises more explosive.                 “The funnest class”                                            “Now THAT’S cardio”

Reformer Level 2 burn             

In this intermediate class we do 2-3 rounds of each exercise series in order to achieve that deep burn in the target muscles.                                      “Definitely gonna be sore tomorrow, but in a good way” 

all level 2 classes require prior reformer experience
