Beginner vs Advanced: Same exercise, completely different challenge.

On the reformer, it’s not about what you’re doing — it’s how you’re doing it.

A beginner is learning the movement
An advanced client is refining every inch of it

Take something as simple as footwork or a plank:
• Beginners focus on coordination and control
• Advanced clients dial into precision, tempo, breath, and muscle engagement

The exercise doesn’t change — the intention does.

That’s the beauty of Reformer Pilates: it meets you where you are, and grows with you every step (and rep) of the way.

My love for this community and the transformational benefits of pilates inspired me to complete my instructor training, and I can’t wait to start moving with you all soon! 🤍

Rachel's Gentle Refine class is now called Move Well 🌿

Move Well is a carefully guided Reformer Pilates class designed for older adults and anyone managing injuries, stiffness, or movement limitations. This class focuses on safe, effective exercises that help you build strength, improve balance, and move with greater confidence in everyday life.

With smaller ranges of motion and thoughtful progressions, Move Well emphasizes joint-friendly movement, core support, posture, and stability. Each exercise is adaptable, allowing you to work at your own pace while receiving clear guidance and support.

This class is ideal if you:

Want to improve mobility and reduce stiffness.
Are returning to exercise after injury or time off.
Want gentle strength and stability training.
Are looking for a slower-paced, and supportive class.
Want to maintain independence and move with ease.

Expect a welcoming, encouraging environment where the goal is simple: helping you move better, feel stronger, and stay active for life.

No prerequisits required.

❄️ Snow Day Policy ❄️

Your safety always comes first! Here’s how we handle winter weather:

• If school district 71 are closed, our studio will also be closed.

• If a teacher can’t safely make it in and we can’t arrange coverage, you’ll receive both an email and text notification — and we’ll also post updates on socials.

• If we’re open, our regular 12-hour cancellation + waitlist policies still apply.

Thank you for rolling with winter right along with us. Stay safe, warm, and cozy! 💙🧣

Teaching Styles – Finding Your Fit

Every instructor brings a unique energy and style to the Reformer.

Some focus on precision and control — guiding you through slow, intentional movement.

Others bring dynamic, athletic flows that challenge strength and endurance.

And some blend both — creating classes that balance challenge with calm.

Exploring different teaching styles helps you discover what motivates and supports you best.

Building Body Awareness

Reformer Pilates isn’t just about moving — it’s about feeling how you move.

Each exercise invites you to connect mind, breath, and body, teaching awareness that carries into daily life.

You’ll learn how to move more efficiently, reduce tension, and feel more balanced — on and off the Reformer.

💫 Think of it as training your body’s intelligence.
