How the classes are built
Most of the work at bodyvita center happens on the reformer, the sliding bed with springs and straps that makes each movement feel precise. The all levels class starts with basic exercises and progressions at a moderate pace, which gives you time to settle into the equipment and notice how your body is working.
From there the studio steps up. The intermediate class assumes some comfort on the reformer and offers less explanation of set-up, so you move with more independence. The advanced class challenges coordination and movement precision in several ways, and the intermediate/advanced class bridges the two at a faster pace.
Fitting a class into the week
Classes at bodyvita center run across the day. About half start in the morning, with the most common start times around 9am and 10am, and noon and 1pm are also busy. Around a third fall in the evening, and about a fifth take place at weekends. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are the busiest days of the week.
If you prefer to practice early, a small number of classes begin before 9am, and the first class of the day starts at 8am. The latest start is at 8pm, so the studio suits both early risers and people finishing work later in the day.
