We specialize in group movement experiences designed to educate, challenge and support growth across three pillars of physical health—ENDURANCE, STRENGTH & RECOVERY. Explore our Pilates Reformer, Strength & Hybrid class formats to find the right fit for your goals.
Pilates Reformer
The Pilates Reformer is a spring-loaded carriage that provides light-to-heavy resistance in various planes of movement. This class format is designed to engage deep abdominal muscles as well as strengthen and stretch the entire body. The practice is a great compliment to any movement routine and is appropriate for all bodies and levels of practitioner.
Pilates Reformer classes at studio s take place on Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformers in a small group of just six clients to ensure safe, effective and tailored instruction. Due to the unique movement repertoire, specific vocabulary, various moving parts of the Reformer and potential need for customization, our Intro to Pilates Reformer series (two 60 minute private appointments) is required prior to entering group classes. If you have previous Reformer experience, the intro series can be waived. Please let us know about your specific Reformer experience prior to attending your first class.

class policies:
Online reservations are required for all classes. Please arrive early—if you are not there by the time class starts, your spot may be given to someone else.
Cancellation Policy—Class cancellations must be done 12 hours prior to the start of class. Failure to do so will result in the charge of a single class. In fairness to those on our waitlists we also ask that you still indicate when you need to “late cancel” (under 12 hours).
Waitlist policy—If you are on the waitlist for a class, you are responsible for removing yourself from the waitlist if you can no longer attend. If you get into the class, you will be notified at least two hours prior to the start time. After being transitioned off of the waitlist, failure to show up will result in being charged for the class. If you are not moved from the waitlist into class you will not be charged.
No-show, no-cancel policy—If a client fails to show up for class and has not late canceled their registration online, there will be an additional auto-charge of $5 to their account. Clients will also still be charged for the full class as stated in our existing cancellation policy. An email or text message to the instructor/ leadership team does not count toward the no-show policy. Reservations must be late canceled on Mindbody Online. Those with a studio monthly membership are exempt from this policy but are still subject to our late cancel policy.
