FAQ’S

WHAT IS PILATES?

Pilates is a series of exercises geared to help posture and alignment of the body. When done on a regular basis you will gain flexibility, muscle strength and endurance, joint mobility, core strength, body awareness, coordination and all over muscle tone.Pilates exercises lighten the load on your spine and joints by correcting muscular imbalances due to bad posture or misuse of muscles and alleviate tension.
Proper alignment balances your skeleton so your muscles are held at their ideal length, without tension. If your body is constantly held out of proper alignment, it places a great strain on your muscles, ligaments, and joints. Improper alignment will reduce your body’s ability to react to the force of gravity, resulting in aches and pains and inhibited movement. Pilates gives you an opportunity to learn to correct your misalignments and allow your muscles to work as efficiently as they should.As you exercise, you should always strive to correct your alignment because it will directly impact on the effectiveness of your workout.

I’M NEW TO PILATES, WHERE SHOULD I START?

We recommend you to start with the Intro to Pilates session.  This 75 min session is included in the Intro Package if you decided to purchase this option.  In this session you will learn the five basic principles and how to use the equipment.  This class will prepare you for your regular sessions.  We recommend you try a variety of classes after your Intro session to see what suits you best.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO PILATES?

Consistency is key. 2 – 3 times a week is an ideal amount. However, even if once a week is your limit you will still get benefits.

HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?

Joseph Pilates said, “In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you’ll see the difference, and in 30 sessions you’ll have a whole new body”. Exact results may vary by individuals and as we said consistency is key.

IS PARKING AVALIABLE?

Scarborough has 6 car bays in front of the studio along Calais Rd. There is also a small parking lot at the end of our building closest to Brighton rd that is available for parking.  If these car bays are in use you may park on the street where it says parking is permitted.  Parking is not permitted on any verge at anytime.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO CLASS?

We suggest you wear comfortable clothing to move in that can stretch. We prefer that you wear tighter fitting pants or tops so your clothes don’t hang or move in a manner that obstructs the instructor’s view of your form (you want the instructor to see what your abs and ribs are doing!). You will not be wearing shoes during your workout; instead, we require socks with grip for safety and sanitary reasons. If you do not have socks with grip, we sell them in the studio.

DO I NEED TO BOOK MY CLASSES IN ADVANCE?

Yes. We recommend you book all your sessions in advance. Classes tend to get busy and book out. So to avoid missing out on your favourite class please book ahead to reserve your space.  If the class is full add yourself to the wait list.  They move very quickly and you will be notified by text and an email once you have been added in.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?

Not a problem! You may cancel your reservation free of charge up to 5 hours in advance for classes and the class will be credited back to you. If you cancel after this time you will be charged. If you have a monthly-unlimited account you will be charged the price of a single session ($24/$35). For private sessions, we have a 24-hour cancellation policy.
If you need to cancel a reservation, log into MindBody, go to My Info, click My Schedule and click Cancel next to the class time. If you have trouble canceling or have any questions, email or call the studio.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ADD MY NAME TO THE WAITING LIST?

When there is a cancellation and you are on the waiting list the system will automatically add you into the session up to 1 hrs before the class is set to commence. You will be alerted by email or text. We recommend if you are on the waiting list to make sure you check your emails and text messages to confirm your space.
