Pilates Class and Training Sessions FAQ's
General Pilates Studio Guidelines
Equipment is wiped down after each session.
For your safety, please refrain from using the equipment until your instructor gives the go-ahead. This is because the equipment often needs to be properly adjusted after the last session to ensure it’s safe for use.
Towels are provided, or you can bring your own to wipe sweat.
Exercise watches, and Fitbits are OK to wear.
Remove necklaces, rings, dangly, or loop earrings to avoid being caught on equipment, for your safety, and to prevent tears in the upholstery.
Remove any items from your body or pockets (phone, keys, wallet, coins, etc.) that may puncture, scratch, tear, or damage the leather on the equipment.
Are Pilates Socks Required?
Yes. Pilates socks are designed with non-slip soles or grips on the bottom, which can provide better traction and stability during exercises. This can be particularly helpful when performing Pilates on a smooth surface or using Pilates equipment such as reformers or stability balls.
Additionally, Pilates socks can help maintain hygiene by providing a barrier between your feet and the equipment or mat, reducing the risk of spreading bacteria or fungi. They can also keep your feet warm and provide some cushioning.
