Trying a new workout studio or workout style, such as pilates, can be intimidating. For this reason, we at the PilatesBarre have compiled a list of five things to know before you join our studio!
What is BarreFormer Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that was developed nearly 100 years ago as a method of injury recovery. It improves flexibility, balance, strength, and body awareness. Here at The PilatesBarre, we have an exclusive BarreFormer machine that optimizes muscle toning in a low-impact manner. This one-of-a-kind machine allows you to protect your joints while pushing your body to its limits. Understanding each exercise may take a little time at first, but the easiest way to learn is by coming to class regularly and learning from your instructor and those around you.
How We Train
All our instructors are trained in-house and are prepared to help you succeed. After completing a four-week training program, each instructor knows how to teach a challenging workout class that radiates positivity and fun. They create their own workout playlists, and each day features a new routine so every class you take with us has a different vibe. You will never feel like you are completing monotone workouts!Additionally, our instructors are ready to support you if you are struggling with a particular exercise. They are trained to show you how to properly modify an exercise to make it more beneficial for you and your needs!
What to wear
We require grip socks and highly recommend long pants in class. Grip socks, socks that have their soles dotted with rubber, are necessary to keep you safe. The rubber on the bottom protects you from slipping and sliding while you do standing exercises on the BarreFormer machine. Additionally, long pants will protect your legs and keep you from sticking to the machine as you complete different exercises.
