What the studio practices
Most of what happens in this studio is reformer Pilates in groups of 50 minutes. Elevate Reformer Flow is the signature class, mixing traditional and dynamic Pilates with functional movement such as lunges and push-ups. Form & Flow is quieter in spirit, with a focus on technique and the quality of each movement, and Strength & Sculpt adds hand weights and firmer spring tension for those who want more load.
Core and pelvic floor work runs through much of the timetable, so the studio suits people who want to build control as well as strength.
How the week runs
Classes are most common in the morning and the evening, with about a third of the timetable falling in each. The earliest class starts at 8am and the latest at 7:30pm. Weekends and the very early hours are much less frequent.
Most classes are open to all levels, which makes the studio a good place to start. Elevate Plus is the one class set aside for experienced movers, and it asks for a solid foundation in Pilates first.
