Great question! We ask that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. This is as a courtesy to our staff and guests. You can contact the studio or cancel your appointment online if you are unable to make your appointment.
This policy is designed to minimize disruption to our clients, as a courtesy to our trainers who are compensated on a per client basis, and allows the studio and teacher time to fill the slot.
Cancellations and missed appointments with less than 24-hour notice will be charged the full fee of the service reserved. This applies to all classes and appointments.
We understand that unforeseen emergencies come up. However, traffic, work and being under the weather are cancellations so please always cancel ahead of time if you foresee that happening to avoid being charged. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
Our no show fee / late cancellation fee is the full cost of the lesson - so definitely cancel.
Late Cancel/No Show Fees are not refundable.

So sorry, but no pets allowed. We love our furry friends, but ask that you not bring them to the studio. Some people are allergic to animals, and because they're so darn cute they can be a distraction to both trainers and clients.

Yes. We call two-person training sessions “Duets.” They are a great way to stay committed to a regular workout schedule, because your friend will be counting on you. Duets work best when you and your partner can commit to the same schedule every week and have similar physical abilities and goals.
If you are new to Pilates, we recommend attending a couple of private Pilates sessions before you team up for Duet sessions.

PILATES Method Faqs

Working out 4 to 5 times a week is ideal. Come a few times a week and mix it up with a bike ride, swim or hike to keep your work outs interesting. Joseph Pilates said: “In 10 sessions, you will feel the difference. In 20, you will see the difference. And in 30, you’ll be on your way to having a whole new body.” Of course, we would love to see you every day!

Pilates focuses on building lean muscle, improving posture, and enhancing overall body awareness. While it’s not primarily a calorie-burning workout, we can incorporate a jump board calorie burning program which is definitely challenging and gets the heart working.
Pilates complements other forms of exercise and promotes a balanced, healthy lifestyle. That being said, our programs work best in conjunction with a good nutritional program. -
