Pilates Classes
Our classes are based on your fitness goals, rather than levels. In our Pilates-based apparatus classes, you may utilize any or all of the Pilates equipment, including the reformer, the jump board, the spring tower, and the chair.
Apparatus: Focus
Focus classes teach you to connect your mind to your body and strengthen your ability to concentrate. This class centers on core strength and stability, injury prevention and joint mobility. The pace of a focus class is deliberate and controlled, allowing the participants to focus on the task at hand, creating a more balanced body and a more focused mind.
This class is great for beginners and also great for experienced clients who wish to exercise at a more focused pace, paying attention to detail rather than speed. Please note: While this class is great for beginners, if you've never done Pilates before you will need to take Pilates 101 first (see above).
Apparatus: Challenge
Challenge classes are fitness classes with a moderately challenging pace, requiring more balance, coordination, and strength than a Focus class. You must be approved by Evolve management to take Apparatus: Challenge.*
Apparatus: Advanced
Advanced classes are for advanced Pilates students and will challenge balance, athletic skill, speed, coordination and endurance. The pace of Advanced classes is fast, requiring a high level of experience and confidence on the Pilates apparatus.*
*Students must be approved to sign up for Advanced and Challenge classes. If you're new to Evolve you will need to take PILATES 101 first (see above). Please contact the studio to see which classes are suitable for you.
Private Pilates Sessions

Our highly trained instructors will help you develop a workout program specific to your body and goals, selecting the exercises that will benefit you the most.
