Wear comfortable workout clothes;  comfortable leggings, tank tops and sticky socks. Make sure they’re not too baggy so the instructor can make sure you are in proper alignment. We sell workout clothing in our lobby as well. Please do not wear heavy perfumes or oils.

Accepted Answer

Any shape! The work we do at The Pilates Barre is geared towards helping each and every client to find their healthiest self. Our staff and instructors are extremely experienced and on hand to help you with any modifications to make our classes and sessions the right challenge for you.

Question 3

When can I expect to see results?

Accepted Answer

While every body is different, you will undoubtedly see results faster if you come more often. Joseph Pilates is famous for a quote that reads, 'In 10 sessions, you will feel the difference. In 20 sessions, you will see the difference. And in 30 sessions, you will be different."  Additionally, combining a variety of our workouts (e.g. taking a Pilates Tower class along with Barre or Bodhi) will maximize your results and have you seeing your shape transform sooner. Whatever commitment your schedule allows, your body will thank you.

Online or email reservations are suggested for all classes.  Email, in-person, or phone reservations are required for private and semi-private Reformer sessions. Standing reservations are ongoing, week to week, unless student states termination of standing appointment. Waitlisted clients will be notified as soon as possible if a reservation becomes available. Waitlisted clients who are notified of an available reservation less than 24 hours in advance will not be subject to the class fee should they not be able to attend the class. We will hold your reservation until 10 minutes after the start of class. If you are more than 10 minutes late for class, your reservation may be given to a waitlisted client.

Question 13

CANCELLATIONS

Accepted Answer

Reserved sessions must be cancelled by email or online 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged in full. We want to ensure our clients are able to attend as many sessions as they wish, and canceling without advanced notice or not showing up to an appointment prevents other clients from attending those classes, Clients with a Monthly Unlimited package will be charged $20 if they late cancel a fusion class with a waitlist, If cancellation is necessary, students are asked to come to another class/session in the same week if possible, EMERGENCY CANCELLATIONS: If you miss your class due to an emergency or sudden sickness, you are entitled to take an off-peak class in the same week at no charge.
