If you are just starting out with Pilates, regardless of whether you are interested in group Mat classes, Equipment classes, or private sessions, we highly recommend our Intro Package.

• The Intro Package consists of three private sessions and two group mat classes during which you will begin to lay the foundation for your Pilates practice
• Private sessions are designed to meet your specific needs as well as introduce you to the Pilates equipment
• Mat classes give you a review of the work, an experience with a different teacher, and a group setting to work on getting your basics down
• One-on-one sessions help identify your particular strengths and weaknesses. This is especially important for anyone with injuries, chronic conditions, or who has undergone surgery
• If you are not new to Pilates but new to our studio, the Intro Package is a great way to get to know us and our approach to teaching the Pilates Method
• The Intro Package will set in motion a workout plan that helps you to reach your fullest potential

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST FEW SESSIONS: 

•Personal attention to help you build the smartest and safest foundation, based on your exact needs
•A comfortable, welcoming training environment — no matter your age, injury or current fitness level
•Expert instruction to guide you through your first Excel Pilates sessions, and get you excited & inspired to achieve your goals!
• You will notice subtle differences that will motivate you to continue

Another option for beginning your Pilates education is through our Mat classes! Your first Mat class with us is free. Please contact the studio for more information or check ‘My First Pilates Mat Class’ during check out on MBO.

• Intro Level Mat, Open Level Mat + Stretch and Level 1 Mat classes are for beginners: you may start anytime
• Level 2-4 Mat classes require studio permission to join at an advanced level

Intro Level Mat is our most basic Mat class. In this class, you will discuss and learn the basic principles as well as any modifications needed to successfully execute the exercises. Most people take this class 1 time a week for 4-6 weeks before moving on to Level 1. However, it is not a prerequisite for Level 1.

Level 1 will also focus on the basic principles but will incorporate more exercises and move at a quicker pace.

In both, you will refine and define the Pilates exercises that prepare you to learn the system in a layered progression, preparing you for Level 2 Mat.

Levels 2-4 progress at increasingly advanced levels, requiring a good foundation and understanding of the exercises and flow.

 If you are new to Pilates, you may join any Level 1 Reformer class.

• Group Reformer Classes give you the opportunity to experience Pilates Apparatus in a small group setting
• Class sizes are limited to 4 people
• Be inspired and motivated by your classmates
• To start at a higher level or for even better success as a beginner, we require studio permission or suggest taking the Intro Package as a prerequisite before joining a class

You can also combine our class offerings. You may choose to pursue private/individual instruction or a varied weekly schedule of classes and/or one-on-ones. Whatever your interest, our instructors can advise you on the best program for your needs.
