It's my first Reformer Pilates class!
Welcome! Whether you're looking to reduce back pain, build strength, or diversify your fitness routine with a fabulous full body workout, we can't wait to get started. Please note the following details regarding your first class and subsequent sessions at redwood pilates.
Please arrive no later than 10 minutes ahead of your first class. This is so that the instructor can get to know you a little bit and walk you through some basics about the equipment. All participants are asked to arrive 5 minutes early to be on the equipment right at the beginning of class time.
All participants are required to wear grippy socks. This is mainly a hygiene issue rather than for safety, although grippy socks will also enable you to get a grip on the floor and equipment surfaces as we move through the workout. If you forget or don't have them, we do have socks for sale you may purchase before class.
Bring a water bottle, and leave as much stuff as you can in your car. Space is limited in the studio and we don't want things cluttering the floor around the equipment.
What If I have an injury?
If you've recently suffered from an injury, or had surgury, please do not book your session until you have been cleared to exercise by your physician. After that point- we welcome you to class. All of the pilates exercises are highly modifiable, and our experienced instructors will make sure that you get that full body workout, even if we need to adapt the movements to make them accessible for where you're at.
What should I wear?
Wear clothes that won't restrict your range of motion, and avoid flowing, draping clothes. As the reformer springs open and close, clothing can get caught in the springs, which will be very annoying for you. Your outfit doesn't have to be absolutely form fitting-- we welcome anything that's comfortable for you. Sweat pants, pajamas, shorts, etc. Grippy socks are required.
How do Memberships work?
Members get the best deal in terms of price per class. There is a one-time administrative fee required to start, or restart/unpause your membership. Memberships can be cancelled or paused with at least 7 days notice prior to renewal date. Memberships automatically renew every 28 days starting from the date of your first class.
How do Packages work?
All packages have an expiration period that starts counting down from the date of your first class used from a package. After December, our 5 class pack will be the only available package, and that has a 40 day expiration date on it.
You may choose to auto-renew your 5 class pack, which will conveniently renew your pack whenever you run out of credits.
