Details of our programs

We offer both Foundational (beginner) and Advance classes that are open to anyone who is interested and has been assessed as safe to participate. You do not have to be a previous client of the clinic to join. All fitness levels are welcome.

We offer an introductory 5 week (2x/week) program and an advanced class (5 week, 1x/week) for those who have previously participated in the introductory class. This allows participants to master both the repertoire and form, along with having developed fitness in the introductory class prior to participating in the advanced sessions.

Requirements: A pre-scheduled 1 hour individualized evaluation at our clinic. This allows us to determine the necessary modifications we will need to make to your Pilates repertoire and help to establish the important core principles that are essential to Pilates.
