Knowing whether you’re a beginner/intermediate or intermediate/advanced Pilates student isn’t always straightforward. You’re strong, active, and capable… but Pilates is its own language so we’ve created a quick guide to help you find the best fit for your goals, your experience, and your body.

No matter where you land, our contemporary approach means every class is thoughtfully designed to challenge and support you, with plenty of options to meet you right where you are and our instructors are incredible resources to help you decide which classes may be the best fit.

Beginner/Intermediate

This level is a great if:

• You’re newer to Pilates or it’s been a while since you practiced regularly

• You’re still learning key concepts like breath, alignment, and core activation

• You want to build strength and control in a way that supports your active lifestyle and prevents injury

• You prefer a slower pace with more instruction and time to focus on technique

• You want to explore all of the equipment such as the chair, tower, and step barrel and gain confidence in working on those. 

• You’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic issue, or simply want a more mindful approach to movement

• You need modifications because of an injury or specific health condition
  

You’ll leave feeling strong, connected, and more confident in your movement—ready to take on your favorite outdoor adventures and everyday life with ease. 

Intermediate/Advanced

This level is for you if:

• You have a solid Pilates foundation and are comfortable using equipment like the Reformer, Tower, or Chair

• You’re familiar with Pilates terminology and can follow cues without too much explanation

• You know your body and are comfortable making choices and modifications as needed to support your goals

• You’re looking for a faster pace, more complex sequences, and deeper physical challenges

• You want to push your strength, flexibility, and coordination while fine-tuning your control

• You love cross-training and want your Pilates practice to support higher-level athletic or recreational goals
  

These classes will move. You’ll be encouraged to explore your edge while still honoring what your body needs on any given day.

Still not sure?
No problem.  If you are a current student, our instructors are here to help.  Chat with one of them after class and see what they say.  Even better, schedule a 1:1 session to help your teacher identify specific skills you may need support with. 

If you are a new student, our introductory Getting Connected programs were developed to help new students get some individualized assistance as they dive into the world of Pilates and for us to get to know your individual needs.  As you work with our team, we will help make recommendations on the right class level for you.  Our primary goal is to help you have a positive and challenging movement experience that keeps you safe and helps you build the skills you need to achieve your goals.
