Pilates Apparatus classes are in addition to our drop-in Pilates Mat classes, which are offered in our Pilates Apparatus Studio. Pilates Apparatus is an excellent exercise option for adults of all ages and abilities from top athletes to people just starting a workout regimen. Using Pilates Apparatus helps you to develop flexibility and good posture by focusing on your “core,” or center, predominantly your abdominals, back, and legs. The machines are elevated off the ground and provide resistance or assistance as needed to the exerciser.

You will be placed in a class on a first-come, first-served basis. Every effort will be made to place you according to level.
