Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the body, particularly the core muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness. Joseph Pilates developed it in the early 20th century, combining elements of yoga, dance, and gymnastics. Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat or using specialized equipment like the Reformer and EXO Chair. Pilates suits people of all fitness levels and can be adapted to meet individual needs and goals. It is often used for rehabilitation, general fitness, and enhancing athletic performance.

Pilates strengthens your core, improves flexibility, and enhances posture, reducing injury risk and alleviating back pain. It also boosts body awareness, coordination, and balance, relieves stress, increases muscle tone, and supports injury rehabilitation. With controlled movements, Pilates helps you build a stronger, more flexible, and balanced body.

Pilates benefits everyone; at Selformer, we offer a range of services and classes tailored to your specific needs, including one-on-one private sessions with a certified instructor, in-house on-demand video classes, and small group classes. If you need assistance choosing the best option, please get in touch with the studio to schedule a call with one of our studio managers, who can provide more information about our various services and help determine the best fit for you.

We have a seven-person group class in a sunny, intimate setting. We provide open-level classes suitable for anyone, from beginners to advanced. We also offer advanced classes for individuals who have been practicing Pilates for at least a year and are capable of more challenging workouts. Occasionally, we feature special classes and workshops. Check the schedule on our app for announcements, or sign up to our email list to learn more about these special offerings.

Self-service, on-demand video in private rooms

This is where Selformer stands out! We've created a safe and private space for you to have your own Reformer to follow a Pilates workout at your own pace in a private room.

Our well-equipped, cozy rooms provide the perfect environment for you to focus on your own Pilates practice with no distractions. Choose from a wide range of videos, including prenatal, cardio jump board, stretch and balance, beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes.

If you're new to Pilates, we recommend starting with a one-on-one private session with an instructor to learn the basics. You can also book a private, self-service video room for an Introduction to Reformer Pilates class. If you prefer a group class, choose an open-level class and let the instructor know it's your first time. We understand that starting something new can be intimidating, but with the help of our well-trained staff and certified instructors, you'll be a pro in no time!

The ideal frequency for practicing Pilates depends on your fitness goals, current fitness level, and schedule. However, a common recommendation is to aim for 2 to 3 times per week. This allows you to experience the benefits of Pilates, such as improved strength, flexibility, and body awareness, while also giving your muscles time to recover between sessions. If you're new to Pilates, we recommend you start with 1 to 2 sessions per week and gradually increase the frequency as you become more comfortable with the exercises. For those looking to achieve specific fitness goals or rehabilitation outcomes, a more tailored plan created by a Pilates instructor or fitness professional may be beneficial.
