Pilates Reformer Classes
Small class sizes to ensure individualized attention
Why differentiate? At Pilates Anchored our goal is to grow students together as a class. When students are consistent in showing up in their practice it helps us all progress as a class. Finding the initial appropriate placement is a part of this process. With four students in a class, we have the ability to differentiate individual students’ needs, but the pacing of the classes will vary based on the levels.
Level 1 is suited for students completely new to a Pilates practice, or the Pilates reformer. Level 1 classes will move at a slower pace with more explicit instruction and explanations of each exercise. We will also address equipment set up, proper alignment, Pilates terminology, and use more repetition to reinforce exercises each week. This is also a great level for students with a regular Pilates practice who need multiple modifications for specific conditions. This class will help get you prepared to take any level 2 or 3 classes.
Level 2 is designed for students who have a foundational Pilates practice, basic familiarity to many Pilates reformer exercises, understanding of Pilates terminology, and awareness of proper alignment. Level 2 students will have taken Pilates reformer classes before with a qualified instructor. We will continue to expand your Pilates reformer exercises repertoire in this class and begin to add in more intermediate moves. Pacing will start to increase at level 2, and more exercises will be completed within a single class setting.
Level 3 is for students with a regular and consistent Pilates reformer practice. Students at level 3 should have familiarity with most of the core Pilates reformer exercises, understanding of proper form for each exercise, and awareness of their own dynamic alignment. This level will begin to introduce some of the advanced exercises within the Pilates reformer sequence and the pace will continue to quicken.
Level 4 is our advanced, athletic-paced Pilates reformer class. Students in this level have extensive Pilates reformer experience, know the names and set-up for most Pilates intermediate and advanced exercises and require minimal modifications to execute them. Because of the fast pacing of this class, less explanations will be offered about how to do the exercise, and more emphasis on cueing nuances to refine execution.
Still not sure what level to take? Don’t hesitate to sign-up for what seems best and after your first class (or a few classes), your instructor will let you know what they believe is the most appropriate fit. Or, feel free to send us a message to share about your Pilates experience and we will offer a suggestion.
Introductory 4-Week Series “Defining Essentials”
This 4-week Pilates Reformer Class introductory series will teach you all of the fundamentals needed to feel confident joining a group Pilates reformer class. We will be running our next series in January of 2026. Classes will be on Mondays January 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026 from 6:30-7:20pm. Each week we will build on the knowledge from the previous week, so attending all four weeks is preferred to complete the program in its entirety.***
We will cover: the anatomy of the reformer, why and how spring resistance is different, equipment set-up, adjusting machines during class, modifications and props, proper alignment, safety, and the foundational Pilates reformer exercises you encounter in most classes. In case you are new to Pilates entirely, we will also cover some of the Pilates principals and concepts to help you have a deeper practice while taking class.
The series is capped at 4 participants, so there will be a lot of individualized attention, time for questions, and modifications offered for any movement adaptations you may need to safely practice in a group setting. Class will have a combination of education along with a workout that gradually adds in exercises each week.
***NOTE: Make sure you are able to attend all four weeks before signing up. Refunds will not be given for missed sessions, and make-up classes are not available for this series.
