General questions

Is Pilates good for older adults?

Yes. Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method are low-impact and can be adapted to any body, which makes them a safe way to build strength, balance, flexibility, and better posture as you age. Our studio is built for adults 40 and older, including students in their 70s and 80s, and we regularly work with joint replacements, osteoporosis, arthritis, scoliosis, and balance concerns. Every new student begins with private sessions, so the work is tailored to you from day one. See who we serve for what we focus on in your 40s and 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

When are you open?

Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 6:30 pm by appointment, Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm by appointment. See our contact page for all the ways to get hold of us.

Do you offer special rates for new students?

Yes. Please visit our rates page to see our current new student specials.

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes. Buy a gift certificate online in any amount you wish. Call or email us with your questions, needs, and timeline.

What should I wear to my lessons?

Wear comfortable workout clothes that you don’t mind sweating in. You’ll be lying down at times with your arms or legs in the air, so choose clothing that moves with you while keeping you covered.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Loose shorts? Wear bike shorts underneath for extra coverage.
  • Long hair? Tie it up so it doesn’t get caught in the equipment.
  • Grip socks are required for every lesson, for your health and safety.
  • Skip belts, zippers, and buttons. They can snag and tear the equipment upholstery.
Can I get private training instead of classes?

Yes. Private training is ideal if you are new to Pilates, are recovering from an injury, or have specific fitness goals. If you are new to our studio, we recommend you start with one of our introductory packages.

Can I register for private training and classes online?

Yes. Our online scheduling system lets you book sessions, buy packages, and manage your account. Set up or log in to your account, then head to our book a session page and look for a day and time that works for you. If you can’t find a time slot, send us a message and we will do our best to get you in.

How long are the classes and private sessions?

Private sessions and apparatus classes are 50 minutes long. This gives us time between sessions to clean and disinfect before the next one.

What is your late cancel and no-show policy?

We ask that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations and missed appointments with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged the full fee of the service reserved. Late cancel and no-show fees are not refundable, so please cancel ahead of time.

Can I bring my kids to the studio?

Unfortunately, we don’t have the space for child care. We love having little ones stop by to say hi, but we ask that children not stay at the studio.

Can I bring my pet to the studio?

So sorry, but no pets allowed. Some people are allergic to animals, and because they are so darn cute they can be a distraction to trainers and clients.

Can a friend and I work out together?

Yes. We call two-person training sessions duets. Duets work best when you and your partner can commit to the same schedule every week and have similar physical abilities and goals. If you are new to Pilates, we recommend a couple of private sessions before you team up.

MOVE Pilates classes

What are MOVE Pilates classes?

MOVE Pilates classes are small-group, equipment-based sessions that focus on building strength, balance, flexibility, and confidence on the reformer, chair, and Cadillac, with personalized attention.

Do you offer a trial for MOVE Pilates classes?

Yes. If you are new, we recommend starting with the three-private-session intro. It lets you learn the basics and see whether our classes are a good fit for you.

How are your MOVE Pilates classes different from others?

Our MOVE classes are intentionally small: Fundamentals and All-Levels classes max out at 4 people, and Master classes at 8. We also prioritize education, so you leave class understanding not just what to do, but why it matters for your body.

What if my classes expire?

We give you lots of time to use them. Please check the package expiration to make sure it fits your time frame.

What if I’m late to class?

For your own safety and as a courtesy to others, we do not allow people to join class who are more than 10 minutes late. If the class has a waitlist, your spot will be given to the next person in line.

Private training

I have specific goals, like improving my golf game or relieving neck tension. Can private sessions help?

Yes. Private training can be customized to target specific goals, from enhancing sports performance to relieving tension caused by everyday activities like desk work. We work with several golfers and love to hear how it is helping their game.

Is private training suitable for someone with injuries or chronic pain?

Yes. Private sessions are ideal for those recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions. We design a program tailored to your abilities, ensuring safe and effective movement.

Can I combine private training with group classes?

Yes. Many clients benefit from a mix of private sessions for personalized attention and group classes for a fun, social workout.

Why should I choose Body Evolutions for private Pilates training?
