At our studio, we want every client to feel confident choosing the class that best fits their experience and goals. Here’s a breakdown of our class levels:
Level 1 – Foundations & Basics
Perfect for complete beginners, those returning to Pilates, or anyone who prefers a slower-paced, gentler workout. These classes focus on form, alignment, and building a strong foundation.
Level 2 – Intermediate Progression
A great next step if you’ve taken a few Pilates classes and feel ready for a bit more challenge. May include more complex sequences or transitions. Not recommended for those with significant injuries or limitations.
Level 3 – Advanced & Intense
Designed for experienced clients who are ready to take their practice to the next level. These classes are high-intensity, fast-paced, and feature advanced exercises. We recommend at least 8–10 Pilates classes before joining a Level 3 session.
All Levels – Everyone Welcome
These classes offer a mix of exercises with room for both modifications and progressions. Ideal if you're comfortable with Pilates basics and enjoy working at your own pace.
