What the classes cover
The studio's classes are built around Pilates, and about half are on the reformer. The other half focus on the core and the pelvic floor, which makes the practice a good match for anyone who wants to build deep stability and control. Many of the sessions are labelled strong, so expect steady work rather than a gentle flow.
Classes are usually 60 minutes. The Reformer Class and the Pilates Mat Challenger are two examples of what to expect, one using the machine and one done on the mat.
The shape of the week
Nearly all classes start in the morning, with the earliest at 7am and the latest at 8am. Thursday is the day with the most sessions, so it is the day to choose if you want the widest range of times.
The studio is small, with a handful of facilitators, and Michelle Moyer leads the largest share of the classes. Because the team is compact, the atmosphere tends to feel consistent from one session to the next.
