Pilates 101

*Equipment Class Prerequisite

If you are healthy and uninjured, you are required to complete Pilates 101 before signing up for an equipment (or “apparatus”) class. (If you are recovering from an injury, click here for information.)

Pilates 101 is your first step to learning the language, movement principles and the equipment of Pilates.  Learning the vocabulary and how to translate that vocabulary into movement is essential for your progression.  Pilates 101 can be taken as many times as you want.

+ Work with Evolve instructors to set your personal goals

Pilates Mat and Equipment Classes

Build strong Pilates principles using the reformer & other equipment. Classes available for all fitness goals and experience levels. (*Pilates 101 is a required prerequisite for equipment/apparatus classes. See above.)

Level 1 : Foundation

The foundation class highlights Pilates’ key principles in a supportive and inviting atmosphere. Exercises at this level emphasize proper form and execution of movements. Foundation level classes are essential preparation for higher level classes.

Level 2 : Challenge

Challenge Pilates requires competence in the foundation-level principles and exercises. Those who train at this level at this level enjoy a focus on conditioning and strengthening the core and limbs, as well as increasing coordination by adding a more complex series of movements.

Level 3 : Advanced / Athletic

Advanced Pilates requires a demonstrated competence in advanced Pilates movement. Always joyful and robust, advanced classes are conducted at a rapid pace. Cardiovascular conditioning and circuit training may also be part of workouts at this level. Participants must be able to maintain an intense exercise pace.

Private Pilates Sessions 

Our private one-on-one sessions are customized to meet your individual needs. Your instructor will help develop a workout program specific to your body and goals, selecting the exercises that will benefit you the most. Private sessions are ideal for new clients, clients with injuries, and more advanced clients looking to improve their form.  

Private lessons may include body work, myofascial release, neurological reprogramming, corrective exercise. Our teachers are trained and specialize in these types of programs/modalities.

Semi-private Pilates sessions are also available. These sessions provide an opportunity to reduce costs while maintaining a small instructor-student ratio and are ideal for friends or family looking to share a workout.
