Studio Etiquette

Pilates Attire

There is nothing special about workout clothing for Pilates. You just need something that lets you move, isn’t  too baggy, and lets the instructor see the line of your body. Shoes are not worn for Pilates workouts. Some people wear Pilates/yoga Toe Sox as a light barrier or to enhance their grip on the equipment, we sell them in the studio but are not mandatory.

Hygiene

We ask that you refrain from using scented perfumes, lotions and products of like prior to class. Please bring a towel as you may break a sweat.

Listen to your Your Body

You are responsible for your body. If an instructor asks you to do something that really doesn’t feel right for you (which is different than “requires exertion”), it is alright not to do it. The experienced staff at FitWise has a modification for every situation and would happily serve you.

Changes in Your Body

Often,we will check in with students before a class, and ask how they are feeling and if there is anything special going on. But if something really new is going on for you, don’t wait to be asked, Inform one of our super Instructors before class and let them know what’s up so that we may better serve you and plan a strategy for your healing.

24 hour cancellation Policy

We require  24 hour notice for all sessions/classes in order not to be charged in full.

Arrival and Departures

Please arrive on time. Please make yourselves at home and be mindfully quiet while all sessions are in progress.

Regularity of Practice

To experience the optimal benefits of a movement practice, it’s important to commit yourself regularly! We recommend a minimum of 2 – 3 times per week, more if you can make the time. Whether in a private session, equipment group, mat class, or at home, practicing Pilates on a consistent basis will accelerate your learning and greatly enhance your overall health.
