Group Classes

Not at all! Our classes welcome all experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. Our smaller class sizes ensure our instructors can provide personalized guidance and modifications tailored to your needs. If you're new to Pilates, we recommend starting with our Pilates 101 classes, offered Sundays at 1pm. Or feel free to jump into our All Levels class, which is designed to accommodate all levels, including first-timers.

Grip socks are required for safety on the reformers. We sell them at the studio and have a limited number of clean loaner pairs available if you forget yours. We recommend comfortable clothes that allow free movement and water if you'd like.

Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled class time to allow time to get settled on your reformer before class starts. If you’re new to Pilates, we recommend coming 10 minutes early so the instructor can help you get oriented with the equipment.

If you anticipate being late, please let us know by emailing hello@craftpilates.com. For everyone's safety and the quality of the class experience, we may not be able to admit clients after 10 minutes past the start time. After this cutoff, our cancellation policy will apply.

We ask for at least 12 hours' notice for cancellations. This allows time for waitlisted clients to plan accordingly. Late cancellations (less than 12 hours before class) will result in a charge for the session. We understand that life happens - if you experience an emergency, please email us at hello@craftpilates.com and we'll do our best to accommodate your situation.

Our system automatically adds you to class if a spot becomes available, up until 12 hours before the scheduled class time. You'll receive an email or text confirmation when you've been moved from the waitlist into the class. Once added to class from the waitlist, standard cancellation policies apply. If your plans change while on a waitlist, please remove yourself from the list so others can have the opportunity to join.

Pilates can be supportive for recovery, but safety comes first. Please let your instructor know about any injuries or conditions before class so they can suggest appropriate modifications. Our instructors are movement specialists but not medical professionals, so we require clients with serious injuries to get clearance from their healthcare provider before joining classes.

Private Sessions

Not at all. Private sessions are actually an ideal way to begin your Pilates practice. Your instructor will take time to understand your goals and movement background, then create a personalized approach that builds your confidence and strength at the right pace for you. Whether you're completely new to Pilates or have some experience, private sessions provide the focused attention and tailored guidance to help you develop strong foundations for your practice.

Your first session begins with a brief chat about your goals and any physical concerns. Your instructor will then introduce you to Pilates fundamentals and guide you through exercises on the reformer at a comfortable pace. You'll learn proper form and technique while getting hands-on guidance tailored to your needs.

Private sessions are held in our main studio space. You'll have your own dedicated reformer and instructor's full attention, though other members may be using other reformers in the space.


Keep it simple and comfortable. Wear form-fitting athletic wear that lets you move freely and allows your instructor to see your alignment. Grip socks are required for all sessions - you can bring your own, purchase a pair at the studio, or borrow a clean loaner pair if you forget yours. No need to bring equipment; just come with a water bottle if you'd like.

Private sessions are 55 minutes. We recommend arriving 5 minutes before your scheduled time to get settled and chat briefly with your instructor about that day's focus.

Yes, you're welcome to choose your preferred instructor when booking. If you're new to the studio and unsure who might be the best fit, let us know your goals and schedule, and we'll happily match you with an instructor whose teaching style and expertise align with your needs.

Please cancel or reschedule your session at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions canceled within 24 hours or missed without notice will be forfeited. We understand that emergencies happen - if you're ill or have an urgent situation, reach out to us by email at hello@craftpilates.com and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Private sessions can be an excellent way to work around injuries or support recovery, as your instructor can fully customize the workout to your needs. Please let us know about any injuries or medical conditions before your first session. While our instructors are movement specialists who can offer modifications and alternative exercises, they don't provide medical advice. For serious injuries or conditions, we ask that you get clearance from your healthcare provider before starting. That way, we can work together to create a safe, effective practice that supports your healing.
