THE POWER OF PILATES & STRENGTH
It's All About
Feel muscles you never knew existed with our signature PULSE Reformer & Mat classes! Pilates strengthens your body and mind, it builds lean muscle, strengthens the Core and lower back, increases range of motion in all the joints, improves spinal mobility, flexibility, and posture. Think of Pilates as the workout that not only makes you strong but keeps you actively aging for years and years to come.
Reformer
What exactly is a “Reformer” Pilates class?
The reformer is a specialized exercise machine that is used to do thousands of different exercises. The reformer has multiple spring levels (think resistance training) that you can use to customize the strength level of the machine.
We recommend you start first with the Free 30-Minute Intro to Pilates Class. This reformer class will teach you how to use the Pilates reformer, top 5 staple reformer exercises, and Pilates essential movement principles.
Not sure where to start? Book a Private Session. We offer a special for new clients.
Also don’t forget – grip socks are required for all classes – hygiene and safety first.

Please review over “What do I wear”
What to Bring
We require you to wear grip socks – you can wear your own or purchase a pair of grip socks in the studio.
What Do I Wear?
We recommend wearing Pilates and/or yoga clothing that you can move, bend, and sweat in. Wearing yoga and Pilates leggings, tees, and tanks allows your Coach to see your form and correct it easier. Grip socks are for sale at the studio, but you are more than welcome to rock your own pair. DO NOT WEAR: ZIPPERS, PERFUME, JEWELRY, LOTION – the equipment is made of leather and wood. This can cause damage to the equipment.
When to Arrive
Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes prior to class. If you arrive late to class, you maybe asked to reschedule for safety reasons.

Parking is free and there is plenty of it! We have a huge parking lot beside the building. We are located 200 Country Club Dr SW Suite D3, Blacksburg, VA 24060. We are in BUILDING D.
