The classes are described as strong, so expect a deliberate pace and effort through the hour. A few cardio barre sessions and an athletic reformer class sit alongside the core lineup.
The reformer sequence runs from reformer 1 through reformer 2, reformer 2.5 and reformer 3, so you can move up as your practice develops. Athletic reformer is listed as advanced.
