What the classes are
Nearly all classes here are Pilates, and most of them are described as strong, with attention on the core and pelvic floor. The timetable also includes strength work, though it is a smaller part of the week. Equipment classes, TRX blends and mat classes sit side by side, so a visitor can choose between a focused session on the machines and a more contained mat practice.
The studio's week is shaped by its mornings. More than half of the classes start before noon, and about half begin before 9am, with the busiest start times at 7:30am, 8:30am and 9:30am. Evening classes are fewer, mostly around 4:30pm and into the early evening.
How the week runs
Most classes run for an hour, and the timetable is heaviest on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Weekend sessions are few, and there are no midday classes listed in this period. The range of facilitators is small, with Taylor Rudolph, Laura LaCour, Ashley Loger and Natalie Ennis leading the most classes, and a student instructor leads some of the free mat sessions.
A newcomer who wants to begin with a manageable pace can look at the mat classes, and those who prefer the equipment can book the Pilates equipment sessions in the morning.
