Good questions.
Everything you might want to know before your first hot class. Still curious? Just reach out.
What is hot Pilates?
Hot Pilates is mat-based Pilates done in a heated room. The heat warms your muscles faster, so you move deeper and sweat harder, while the Pilates work itself stays low-impact and joint-friendly. No reformer machine to learn — just a mat, the heat, and the playlist.
I've never done Pilates. Can I still come?
Absolutely — that's who we built this for. Start with our Foundations class for extra coaching, and know that every move has a modification. You work at your level, right next to people working at theirs. No experience and no judgment.
How hot is the room?
Warm enough to loosen you up and get you sweating, not so hot you can't move. It's a heated mat-Pilates room, not a scorching hot-yoga sauna. If you run warm or it's your first time, Foundations runs a touch cooler.
Do I have to commit to a membership?
Never. Drop in for a single $15 class with zero commitment, or grab a 10- or 20-class pack. Ready to go all in? Unlimited is $129/month, month to month. Just remember to cancel a class 12+ hours ahead so your credit doesn't forfeit.
What should I bring?
Water, a towel, and clothes you can sweat in. Grippy socks are recommended. Mats and light weights are provided. Come about 10 minutes early to your first class so we can get you settled.
What's the difference between Hot Pilates, Sculpt, and the fusion class?
Hot Pilates is heated mat work for core and full-body control. Sculpt adds light weights for strength and tone. Hot Pilates × Sculpt — our signature class — combines both in one session. New to it all? Start with Foundations.
Is the music really that loud?
It's a vibe, not a library. Classes are fueled by rap, R&B, and pop to keep the energy up while you work. Think boutique studio with club energy — fun first, always.
