General Class Information
Our small group classes are grouped into 2 categories: Mat &
Equipment. All classes are 55 minutes in length.
Mat classes include Just Mat, Mat & More, 60 Plus and Fit & on the Ball.
Pilates matwork offers a very intensive core workout, using the body's weight against gravity. Mat classes are appropriate for beginners after taking a Basic Concepts class or a Private session.
Equipment classes include Reformer, Tower, Multi-Apparatus and
Instructor's Choice. Reformer classes are the only equipment classes recommended for beginners, with a prerequisite of a Basic Concepts
Class or a private session.
Tower classes are best appreciated after the basic concepts are well
understood and demonstrated in a mat or reformer class. Classes are small in size (4-10) for safety and effective basic learning.
TRIAL CLASSES
Trial classes are intended to give those with a Pilates background, the
opportunity to sample a full, 55-minute class at a low cost. Trial classes allow you to make an informed decision as to whether the class style and pace are right for you, before investing in a class package.
Class Registration
All classes at ABSolute Pilates Inc. are ongoing. This means that there
are no “sessions” for classes. All class schedules will be available on our web site. Anyone without internet access can request a copy of our schedule by US mail, by calling the studio at 393-9611.
We try to offer our clients flexibility with scheduling, but continue to
encourage regular participation so that everyone can achieve his or her personal fitness goals.
For people new to Pilates, or new to the ABSolute Pilates Studio, it is
recommended that you attend a Basic Concepts Class to learn or review the basic Pilates principles, since the work is very different than
traditional exercise. These classes are 30 minutes in length and are scheduled on an "as needed basis". The cost is $15 per class. Please call to schedule this class with an instructor.
Beginners may then continue in Just Mat class which is scheduled on
Monday evening at 5:30 pm, where emphasis is placed on technique. If familiar with Pilates work, Mat & More or Reformer I would both be
appropriate classes in which to continue.
You may pay the single class fee each time you attend, however, it is
more economical to buy a package of classes. |

Getting Started at the ABSolute Pilates Studio
There are several ways to start your Pilates program and many factors to consider as you plan your first session:
What are your personal goals?
Do you have any significant medical concerns?
Do you have any postural concerns?
Do you have any Pilates experience?
Do you have other exercise/movement experience? (dance, yoga, athletics)
Are you “body-aware” -- do you learn body movement patterns easily?
Do you prefer exercising in small groups or privately?
How much time are you able to invest?
What is your budget?
After you have reviewed the above questions, you can consider the following options for beginning your program:
Option#1
Recommended for the individual with medical or postural concerns, as well as those who may need extra time and individualized attention for learning new information. No Pilates experience required. Also a great choice for those looking for individualized guided movement with rapid results. This is the most effective option.
Start with a Get.2.kno.Joe introductory 3-pack of private sessions. You will work one-on-one with a certified instructor for three 55-minute sessions. Your sessions can be scheduled once a week for three consecutive weeks, or more frequently if you prefer. You will learn the basic concepts and principles of the Pilates Method and utilize the remainder of the time to work toward your personal goals. When your sessions are completed, you and your instructor can discuss your progress and determine how you would like to proceed with your program.
Your cost: $150
Time investment: 3 hours
Class size: Private (1)
Option #2
Recommended for the healthy individual who has limited exercise or movement background, requires extra time for learning new information and would like to minimize the cost and time investment.
Attend a Single Private session for 55-minutes of one-on-one time with a certified instructor. The session with include the basic concepts, principles of Pilates and fundamental exercises. The remainder of the time can be spent on mat exercise or equipment, depending on your personal goals. This time can also be utilized to introduce you to the different large apparatus work and mat work, so that you can determine - with the instructor’s input - how to proceed with classes.
Your Cost: $65
Time Investment: 55 minutes
Class size: Private (1)
Option #3
Recommended for the healthy individual with an exercise or movement background. No Pilates experience required. Also a great review for those with past Pilates experience looking to return to mat or equipment classes.
This is the most economical option.
Schedule a Basic Concepts Class with one of our instructors and learn the principles of Pilates in an abbreviated 30-minute session. You will learn the verbal cues and the fundamental exercises that will allow you to enter a small group class with confidence. It may be to your advantage to schedule this class immediately before a mat class to insure good information retention and follow through for maximum benefit.
Your Cost: $15 (does not include mat class package)
Time Investment: 30 minutes
Class size: 1-6

In the event of bad weather and unsafe driving conditions, ABSolute Pilates may need to delay the start of business or close the studio for a period of time. You may call the studio phone at 393-9611 after 6:45 AM on inclement weather mornings and the recorded message will inform you of any changes in the schedule.
If bad weather conditions arise after 6:45 AM or persist throughout the day, the studio voice message will be updated accordingly to keep you informed of our schedule changes.
All sessions that are cancelled due to inclement weather may be rescheduled. Missed classes may be rescheduled in the regular weekly class schedule.
We apologize, in advance, for any inconvenience - however - safety of our clients and our instructors is a priority.
|
|
|
 |
WHAT>> In an attempt to minimize low-enrollment class cancellations, ABSolute Pilates has devised the following plan to meet the clients’ and the studio’s needs:
MAT CLASSES
Minimum number to hold a class is 3. |
|
If only 2 people have signed-up for the class, they will have the option to substitute a reformer class at the cost of two mat classes from their class card. |
|
If only 1 has signed up, he/she will have the option to do a private session at the cost of three mat classes from his/her class card. |
|
If you are one of two people from a mat class that is offered the above reformer option and the second person declines, you will then have the opportunity to substitute a private session at the cost of three mat classes from your class card. |
|
|
EQUIPMENT CLASSES
Minimum number to hold a class is 2. |
|
If only 1 person has signed up for the class, he/she will have the option to substitute a private session at the cost of two equipment classes from his/her class card. |
|
|
| HOW>>The studio will notify you in the event that there is a low-enrollment situation and clarify your options, so that you can plan to proceed with your scheduled workout. There is no obligation. You may decline the offer without consequence. |
|
|
For morning and noontime classes, we will do our best to notify you the evening or day before class. |
|
For evening classes, we will do our best to notify you by 3:00 pm. |
|
|
| WIN-WIN>>This plan will allow you to count on ABSolute Pilates for the workout that you have scheduled into your busy day AND, perhaps, experience a different type of Pilates workout, at a fraction of the original cost. This plan also helps our studio meet its costs for group class time. |
|
| We hope that you will find this policy helpful in your ongoing pursuit of physical fitness. |
