Reformer Studio Rules

Respect the Studio Space: Respect  the studio and its equipment by keeping it clean and tidy. Put away props and equipment after use.

Punctuality: Arrive on time for classes to avoid disruptions and ensure a full session for everyone. 5 minutes after the beginning of the class, doors close.

Silence Mobile Devices: In the studio area, all mobile phones should be turned off or set to silent mode to maintain a distraction-free environment.

Personal Hygiene: Request that clients come to class with clean clothes and socks to maintain proper hygiene standards.

Grip Socks ONLY: Pilates is done with grip socks to ensure safety and stability during exercises. Regular socks may cause slipping.

You can buy our branded WSS grip socks

Inform About Injuries or Health Conditions: Clients should inform the instructor of any injuries or health conditions before starting the class. This allows the instructor to modify exercises accordingly.

Follow Instructor’s Guidance: Clients should follow the instructions and cues of the Pilates instructor to ensure proper form and technique during exercises.

No Chewing Gum: Chewing gum during a class can be a choking hazard and is generally not allowed in the studio.

 

No Strong Perfumes/Colognes: Strong scents can be distracting or bothersome to others, so it’s best to avoid using them in the studio.

Quiet During Class: Minimize unnecessary talking during the class to maintain focus and respect for others.

Hydration: We try to limit plastic so we are not selling beverages.  All Clients should bring water bottles to stay hydrated during class.

Refrain from Teaching Others: In a group class setting, clients should avoid giving unsolicited advice or corrections to fellow participants.

Clean Equipment After Use: Wipe down equipment after use to maintain hygiene.

Respect the Instructor: Encourage respect for the instructor and their expertise. Disruptive or disrespectful behavior may result in removal from the class.
