Class Levels

Level 1 Reformer

Level 1 is a beginner-friendly class for clients who have completed the Intro to Reformer training, focusing on foundational STOTT PILATES movements, machine setup, alignment, core engagement, and controlled exercise flow. It builds confidence with basic exercises and prepares students for more complex repertoire.

Level 1.5 Reformer Mixed Level

Level 1.5 is a mixed intermediate class for clients who have gained comfort with Level 1. Requires good machine knowledge and understanding of STOTT PILATES principles while offering modifications and progressions within a slightly faster paced flow. Introduces some intermediate repertoire but accommodates varying experience levels.

Level 2 Reformer

Level 2 is an intermediate class for clients with a strong grasp of fundamentals who can self correct and move at a quicker pace with more challenging choreography. Emphasizes coordination, balance, and strength and builds on foundational repertoire with more complex sequences and transitions.

Athletic Conditioning

Advanced reformer class for seasoned STOTT PILATES clients using multi planar movements, unilateral stability, weight transference, and dynamic exercises to develop strength, endurance, agility, and core stability. Not intended for beginners or those with significant balance limitations.
