What makes Classical Pilates unique at 212?

  We intentionally keep class sizes small with Reformer sessions offered privately or in groups of 2-3 so that our instructor can focus on clients' individual needs. Our instructor provides an initial introduction & assessment for each client to help he or she find the right fit within our Classical Pilates offerings.

Any clients with past or current injuries are first evaluated by our Doctors of Physical Therapy for possible imbalances that would impede their Pilates success.
