| - Integrating a new fitness program into your existing routine can be scary. Even when you're elite in your own sport, starting a new one is always intimidating. But not at Reformed Pilates--they'll help you from the start.
My experience started with Laura the owner via email. I had a bunch of questions which she answered, and then suggested I stop by (after all, with over a dozen Pilates studios in the same zip code, how do you choose?). During my visit, Megean answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable right away. They have this offer where your first class is free. It's a great way to dip your toe into the water. I have taken private Pilate classes years ago, but Reformed Pilates takes it to another level--what they can squeeze into 50 minutes is amazing!
My first class with Megean was great. If it's your first time, I would suggest calling or emailing and finding a class that isn't full (10 students is the max), so the instructor can assist you if needed. My class had students of all levels--a guy who cranked out 7 for every 1 lunge I did, another another entry level student, and a few regulars. And that's the greatest part-- the class is for all levels; while I never made it past the yellow and blue springs, others in the class were rocking it with a thousand more reps than I could get in. And when I was struggling, Megean would come over and show me a modified move so that I could keep up. No one yelling at you like some other fitness classes to get "more reps in"; take as many breaks as you need-- it's all good! All the other class participants are super nice too, willing to help along the way.
Wear your lululemon or Target workout gear--no snobby people here! It's clear that the instructors and the students all have the same goal--to look and feel great!
Although I can't cough or sneeze today without feeling sore ab muscles I didn't know I had, my next class is in 2 days, at which time I hope I can lift my arms over my head without saying "ouch"
