Private Sessions
Private Sessions are one-on-one sessions designed to guide you through your work out on all of the apparatus including the mat. The specifically designed apparatus helps you to focus and work deeper than on the mat alone. Whenever possible, this is the best way to begin Pilates. Each session builds on the previous session and is tailored to your ability and needs. Anyone with physical limitations should begin with private sessions. Private sessions run 50 minutes and are scheduled by appointment.
Duet Sessions
Bring a friend or meet a new friend by signing up for duets. You will both work out on the reformers, wall units, mat and more. This class is open to all levels. Please call to schedule, or give us your best days and times.
Mat classes
These are small group classes that teach all of the Pilates principles on floor mats. Commitment to learning the mat work will allow you to have a "take-home" workout that will keep you in shape.

Mat classes run monthly based on pre-registration and are 45 minutes.
