Where do I start?

  • Pilates is simply resistance training. We use springs and bodyweight exercises to develop a strong core and condition the whole body.

  • Absolutely. Private sessions and beginner classes are the foundation of your Pilates practice. Our group classes employ the unique Pilates equipment, and we need to show you how to use it!

  • You will find descriptions of each of our classes by hovering over the class type on the schedule page. In a nutshell, our classes are limited to 10 or less, and you will always use the spring driven equipment. Expect a lot of hands on and personal attention.

  • Comfortable athletic wear, free of buttons, snaps, and zippers. The studio is co-ed so please dress accordingly. Baggy shorts should be avoided as we incorporate inversions and straddle stretches in our workouts. We require socks to be worn in our studios. Sticky bottom socks provide the best grip throughout a workout. If you do not own sticky socks, we have them for purchase at each studio location.

    Please Go Scent-Free
    To ensure a comfortable and distraction-free environment for all clients and staff, we kindly ask that you avoid wearing strong perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions when visiting the studio. Heavy fragrances can be overwhelming in a shared workout space and may affect those with sensitivities.


    Help us keep the studio fresh and welcoming for everyone—thank you for your cooperation!

  • Send a friend! Your sessions are always transferable, and you can give away or sell your spot to avoid a cancellation penalty. The front desk will always try to fill last minute cancellations but short notice makes it difficult. Class adjustments are often made on short notice - as such the studio does not notify class attendees of instructor changes. Please check your schedule regularly for any last minute changes.

  • Moms-to-be can book Private or Duet Sessions with us throughout their pregnancy! Our Group Classes are not appropriate for expecting mothers.

  • Yes, we know countless modifications for different injuries and limitations. We highly recommend making an appointment for a Private Session before joining group classes in order to learn how to modify exercises appropriately for your condition.

  • Tipping is not customary or necessary for Pilates.

  • Real Pilates strictly prohibits clients from recording their classes or sessions in any form, including but not limited to video and audio recordings.

  • A standing session is a recurring, pre-booked Pilates session each week at the same day and time. It guarantees your spot with a Real Pilates instructor, helping you stay consistent in your practice and progress toward your goals.

    Standing Session Policy:
    To ensure fairness and consistency, clients who cancel 40% or more of their standing sessions within a 3-month period will be asked to release their recurring time slot. We’re happy to help find a new time that better fits your schedule.

  • Real Pilates is a safe and inclusive space for all. We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or hate speech of any kind. Clients and staff are expected to treat each other with mutual respect. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in termination of services.
