| Scheduling FAQ About reserving online. You may reserve all classes online using our webscheduler. All reservations are pre-paid and classes can be purchased at the same time on the webscheduler. You have access to your account 24/7; however, online reservations stop 12 hours prior to the start of class. All classes with zero students signed in 12 hours prior to the start of class are automatically cancelled. To reserve or just “walk-in”? Reservations are required to guarantee a spot in class. Online reservations close 12 hours prior to the start of class. You can “walk-in” to any class that has an available reformer. All “walk-ins” are taken on a first come first serve basis. Check the webscheduler to see how many reformers are still available for class. All classes with zero students signed in 12 hours prior to the start of class are automatically cancelled. Cancelling a class you’ve reserved a spot in. All scheduling changes must be made 24 hours in advance. You can cancel on the webscheduler, calling or emailing the studio. All cancellations made less than 24 hours will result in forfeiting that class as a late cancel. Clients with a ‘Monthly Unlimited Series’ will have a $25 late cancellation fee assessed. I had something (my child, work, car, dog, etc) suddenly come up and I can’t make class today. Sorry, all reservations have a 24 hour cancellation policy. To keep things fair we hold ourselves to the same 24 hour cancellation policy. If we should cancel a class under 24 hours we will credit you one class to your account. If your schedule is not conducive to making reservations 12 hours prior to the start of class you are welcome to “walk-in” to any class that has an available reformer. My babysitter just cancelled on me… can I bring my child to class? Unfortunately we don’t have any child care facilities at the studio. Not only is it too dangerous to have a child in the workout room it’s also unfair for the other students in class. I think I made a reservation for class but am not sure. To double check your schedule log onto your account on our webscheduler. You will find a plethora of information under the “My Info” tab including “My Schedule”. It’s always a good idea to double check your schedule after any scheduling, rescheduling or canceling to make sure you finalized your changes. How many more classes do I have left on my package? Log on to your account on our webscheduler. Click on the “My Info” tab then click on “My Account”. You will see all your class packages, number of classes used and expiration dates. Wait list. You can sign up on a wait list for all classes that are full. If a spot becomes available Grace Anatomy will call or email you to let you know you made it into class. When do my classes expire? All class packages expire 1 year from the date of your first class. Monthly Unlimited Series are active for 30 days starting the date of your first class. Transfer policy. All class packages are non-transferrable. Do I have to have bring my own partner for a Semi Private class? Yes, give the gift of health and bring a friend! We recommend group reformer classes if you don’t already have a partner. Can I park in the small parking lot? No, unfortunately those parking spots are reserved for our neighbors. We would let you park there if we could but they’re just not ours to give away. Please park on Moorpark or any of the surrounding side streets. Reformer Class FAQ What level class should I take? If you have never taken a Pilates class using a reformer you must start in level 1- Beginner. There are many safety issues with working on a moving carriage which will be covered in class. Yes, you may be super strong… yes, you may be extremely coordinated but that just means when you fall off the reformer you’ll fall off more gracefully. Safety first!! take class placement quiz now>> How many classes do I have to take before I can move up? Everybody is different. It depends on many things… how coordinated, flexible, strong, healthy etc. your body is. Some people choose to stay in their level 1 or 2 for good. Others want to progress as far as they can. Remember when you advance in Pilates you don’t just pile on more weight or do more reps. The more advanced levels require much more strength to hold you up in precarious positions. Once again, safety first!take class placement quiz now>> When to arrive. We recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes before a scheduled class start time. This gives you time to settle down, relax and get focused before class. The start of Pilates classes is very important and you don’t want to miss the warm-up. Arrival time for first-timers. We recommend you arrive 10 minutes before your first class. You can save time by filling out the new client forms in advance. What do I wear? Wear fitting and stretchable clothes that you would feel comfortable lying down and stretching in (similar to Yoga apparel). What do I bring? Bring a pair of sock to class. For hygiene purposes, Grace Anatomy is a sock only studio. Some people wear specialized non-slip socks, like Toe Sox, that enhance their grip on the equipment. Non- slip pads are available throughout the studio and Toe sox as well as regular socks are available for purchase at the front desk. Will I get a workout in my first group reformer class? Yes! Although you will learn how to adjust the reformers safely you will also learn the principles of Pilates as you go through a full body workout. Will I get individual attention? We keep our classes small (1-6 people) to ensure you get the proper attention. That being said, clients must be injury free to participate in reformer classes. Private classes are tailored to your personal goals and needs. If you have injuries we recommend private classes. Pilates FAQ How many times a week should I do Pilates? Pilates is considered strength training. If Pilates is the only strength training you do, than 2-4 times per week is great. If you are incorporating Pilates into your current workout regime than cross train with 1-2 times per week. Just remember, a little bit is better than nothing at all! Can I do Pilates two days in a row? Yes, although Pilates is a tough workout it differs greatly from weight training. In weight training your goal is to completely exhaust your muscle fibers and break them down. In the repair process there is a thickening and growth in size of the muscle tissue. The muscle tissue needs a break in order to repair. In Pilates, you never completely exhaust the muscle fibers. Pilates is considered resistance strength training and not weight strength training. Will I bulk up doing Pilates? No, remember Pilates doesn’t not exhaust and break down muscle fibers like weight training so the accompanying repair and thickening of muscles doesn’t happen either. No thickening means no bulk! Resistance is the type of strength training that physical therapist use on injuries. It creates strength without adding additional bulk. Is Pilates an aerobic exercise? Yes and no, although Pilates does increase your heart rate it doesn’t raise it to a sustainable aerobic level for an extended period of time. Cardio Tramp classes, on the other hand, are a very aerobic workout. Cardio Tramp classes are done in intervals along with Pilates strength training for a complete supercharged workout! Will I lose weight with Pilates? It takes three things to lose weight… strength training, cardio training and diet. Pilates is a great way to strength train. Do any one thing and you’ll see a difference. Do all three things and you’ll see a huge difference! Can I do Pilates if I am pregnant? Yes, if you were already doing Pilates prior to your pregnancy and most importantly, your doctor agrees. Your Pilates workout will change when you enter your second trimester and adjustments will be made to the equipment and to the exercises. Our clients think that Pilates helped them have smooth deliveries and quicker recoveries. |
