FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long are the classes?

All group and private lessons are 50 minutes in length.

 

What should I wear?

Wear whatever you are comfortable in and would normally "work out" in.  We do require that you wear socks.  Remember that the more form fitting your attire is, the better we can see your body and help you to perform the exercises correctly.

 

Do I have to bring any special equipment? 

No.  We have everything you need.  Just come with an empty stomach and a desire to move! 

  

If I have taken Pilates at another location, do I need to start with the Beginning class?

If you have previously done "Romana's Pilates" then you may continue working at your same level.  If you have done another style of Pilates, or are unsure what style you have done, then we recommend that you start with the Beginning class or with a private lesson.  This is to ensure your safety and comfort.

 

Can I just "drop in" to a group mat class?

Yes, however reservations are recommended since class size is limited to 7 people per class.  To reserve your space, please call 704-965-2252. 

 

Can I do work on the reformer with another person?

At Pilates Body Shaping we do allow "duets" on the reformers, however, both students must be at an Intermediate Level.  They must know how to change their own equipment, know their modifications and have a general knowledge of the order of exercises.  

 

What form of payment is accepted?

We take personal checks and cash.
