FAQ

  • What should I wear?

    Grip socks required! Aside from that, feel free to wear anything you are comfortable moving your body in. Form-fitting activewear is preferred as it helps instructors identify your proper alignment in exercises. We require grip socks for both your safety and hygiene. If you don’t have a pair or forgot to bring them, we have some available for purchase in the studio.

  • Where can I park?

    There is street parking available on Homer Street, directly in front of the studio. It’s free before 9am on weekdays, so if you’re joining for an early morning class you’re covered! Outside of those hours, you are able to park for up to 2 hours in the metered zone. There is also a public underground parking lot two blocks away (909 Mainland St), or we are just a short walk from the Yaletown SkyTrain Station if you are arriving via transit.

  • How often should I practice pilates?

    Consistency counts. The benefits of pilates are experienced over time and dedication to your practice will pay off if you commit to your routine. When you’re first starting out, you will begin to feel a difference after just a few sessions. Before you know it, you will see a difference too. Like anything, the more time and energy you invest in it, the better the results will be.

  • What advice do you have for new pilates people?

    Come into your first session with an open mind! It might take some time to get familiar with the ‘language of pilates’ and the intricacies of the apparatus’, but soon enough it will become second nature.

    If you haven’t already checked it out, we suggest reading through “The Details” guide linked below, which gives you all the info you need to know!

  • How long are the sessions and what can I expect?

    All semi-private (3:1) sessions are 45 minutes. This length is intentional in it’s design to give clients a focused and challenging workout that they can stay consistent with. Even if you only have a short window of free time in your day, adding in a bit of movement will leave you feeling your best (pilates can be done daily!). Semi-private sessions are structured to challenge you no matter what level you’re at: beginner → advanced.

  • Pregnant or recovering from an injury?

    It would be recommended that you start by scheduling a 1:1 private training session, especially if you are newer to pilates. These are available upon request. This will allow your instructor to help you find safe & effective modifications that feel good in your body. We can tailor your program to meet specific goals and move at a comfortable pace.
