We are making changes to our Pilates reformer classes in 2025, including decreasing prices and tweaking some policies. Please read the following information to understand how these changes impact participants:

At the Y, Pilates reformer is a progressive program that focuses on quality of movement, breath work and mind-body connection. Our new structure allows participants to purchase class packages and then reserve classes up to 45 days in advance through the website and up to 30 days in advance through the app. You must cancel within 24 hours of class reservation to have credits refunded. You have 12 months from the time of purchase to use your package of classes, and packages can be used at any Y branch that offers Pilates reformer classes. If someone purchases a Level 1 package, they can only take Level 1 classes. If someone purchases a Level 2 package, they can take Level 1 and Level 2 classes. If someone purchases a Level 3 package, they can take Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 classes.

Financial assistance is available for up to 25% on Pilates reformer packages for those who qualify. Please apply online. 

Please note: Between Jan 1-Feb 28, if a Pilates reformer class has 0 reservations 24 hours before class time starts, the class will be canceled; if a Pilates reformer class has at least 1 person reserved, the class will run as normal.

Starting March 1, every Pilates reformer class must have 4 participants minimum; if a Pilates reformer class does not have 4 people reserved 24 hours before the class time, the class will be canceled. An email and/or phone call will be made to anyone who was originally signed up for the class.

The more classes you buy, the lower the per-class rate:

We offer Level 1, 2 & 3 classes. If you are new to our classes, we ask that you either take our Pilates Reformer Fundamentals class, have a private session with a Pilates reformer instructor or get permission from an instructor before you attend any class. We ask participants to work progressively toward their next level. Level 1 participants will not be able to switch back and forth between levels, but with permission from your instructor, you may switch between Levels 2 & 3. 

PLEASE NOTE: Once you make a purchase, there is a 30 minute delay between our purchase system and our booking system. Please allow for a 30 minute wait period between purchasing a package and scheduling your classes.

Pilates Reformer Level 3 

Reformer Level 3 is appropriate for those with 5+ years of experience in Pilates reformer or the equivalent. There is a continuous flow in class and students are required to understand both the equipment and the movement pattern of the exercises. We focus not just on advanced skills, but build the strength necessary to perform them. Internal body awareness, such as a deep understanding of breath work and initiation of spinal motions, is equally as important. Please consult with the instructor in order to join this class.

The Y is rolling out the mat for our members. Mat Pilates offers the same benefits and techniques as a Pilates Reformer class but without the equipment. Tone your muscles, increase flexibility, improve mindfulness and control and nurture your connection between your mind and body. Pilates offers a rich and thorough core workout that will leave you strong and well postured. Bonus: Mat Pilates can also help you improve your Reformer work.

Pilates - Mat

Mat Pilates is a core conditioning program that improves muscle control, flexibility, coordination, strength and tone while performing body weight exercises on a mat. With a focus on proper breathing, good posture and body awareness, a Pilates practice coaxes the body back into its natural alignment.

Pilates Mat Fusion

This class strengthens the core and balances the body through a blend of breath, traditional Mat Pilates movements and a combination of contemporary core-strengthening exercises.
