Reformer Pilates is a type of Pilates workout that uses a specialized piece of equipment called a reformer. This machine consists of a sliding carriage, springs for resistance, and adjustable bars, which together create a versatile and customizable workout experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes Reformer Pilates unique: Equipment: The reformer is a bed-like apparatus with a movable carriage that slides back and forth. Springs attached to the carriage provide resistance, which can be adjusted to make exercises easier or more challenging. Resistance Training: The resistance from the springs helps to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. The ability to adjust the resistance allows for a wide range of exercises that can be tailored to different fitness levels and goals. Core Focus: Like traditional Pilates, Reformer Pilates places a strong emphasis on core strength, stability, and alignment. The exercises are designed to engage and strengthen the core muscles while also working other areas of the body. Low Impact: The reformer provides a smooth, controlled motion, which makes the exercises gentler on the joints compared to some other forms of exercise. This low-impact nature makes it suitable for people of various fitness levels and those with injuries or joint issues. Versatility: The reformer allows for a wide variety of exercises that can target different muscle groups and incorporate both strength and flexibility training. Exercises can be performed lying down, sitting, kneeling, or standing.

For your safety, and to make your experience practicing on a reformer more comfortable and effective, we highly recommend that you wear non-slip grip socks. If you don't already have a pair of your own, we have socks available for purchase at the studio. Other than that, wear comfortable and flexible clothes that allow you freedom of movement in a number of different positions. Most of our members also bring a towel and a bottle of water. A bottle fill station is located in our lobby if you need a refill. Each reformer station has a small cubby to store any other belongings you happen to have with you.

We welcome all practitioners aged 13 and up! For those aged 13 to 15, participation in our classes is allowed if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also participating in the same class. For practitioners aged 16 to 18, they can attend either our classes or practice in our virtual room provided they have an account and a waiver signed by a parent or guardian on file.

Of course! The best way to experience our classes and see if we’re the right fit for you is to take advantage of our introductory week for only $25. This allows you to book one session per day for a full week, allowing you to explore everything we have to offer. If you prefer to take it one class at a time, you can also book a single drop-in class or take advantage of our class-packs. However, becoming an unlimited member is by far the best value, offering you unrestricted access to our full array of classes and enabling you to fully commit to your fitness goals.

Booking a session at FIFTY/50 is a breeze!

We understand that life can be unpredictable, but to best accommodate all our clients and ensure everyone has a fair chance to attend our popular classes, we do have a cancellation and no-show policy in place. If you need to cancel your session, please do so at least 12 hours before the start time. Cancellations made within 12 hours of the session will incur a cancellation fee of $15, which will be charged to the card on file. If you do not cancel within 12 hours of your session, and fail to show for your class after 5 minutes of class starting, you will either incur a no-show fee of $20 (unlimited members) or will forfeit the class credit that would have been utilized (all other members.) This policy helps us manage our schedule effectively and allows other clients the opportunity to join our sessions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy!

Yes! If you are interested in booking one-on-one time with one of our instructors, just contact the front desk staff and inquire about available times. We offer both individual and multi-session packages to suit your individual needs. Whether you are looking for personalized coaching or have specific fitness goals in mind, our instructors can tailor the sessions just for you.

At Fifty50, we believe in providing flexibility to our members! Unlike other studios, we don’t require you to commit to a lengthy membership period. If you decide that you need to cancel your recurring membership, simply provide us with a written notice at least 28 days before your next auto-renewal. Your membership will then be cancelled without any hassle, effective from the next billing cycle. This way, you have the freedom to enjoy your Pilates practice without feeling locked into a long-term commitment. Please note that this policy does not apply to pre-paid unlimited memberships. Pre-paid unlimited memberships cannot be cancelled.

Yes, studies have shown that Reformer Pilates can be a safe and effective way to stay healthy during pregnancy and help prepare your body for the demands of motherhood. The controlled, low-impact movements in Reformer Pilates can strengthen the core, improve posture, and maintain flexibility, all of which are beneficial during pregnancy. However, we strongly advise you to consult with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing with a Reformer Pilates regimen during pregnancy. It's important to ensure that Pilates is safe for your specific situation. We also recommend booking live class sessions so that our experienced instructors can provide modifications tailored to your needs. They can help you adjust exercises to accommodate your changing body and ensure you’re practicing in a way that’s both safe and effective. Please note that this information is not intended to serve as medical advice, and nothing can replace the guidance and advice of a licensed healthcare provider.

True to our name, each class is 50 minutes long, providing a balanced and comprehensive workout. Our sessions include a proper warm-up, a thorough Pilates program, and a cool down period, ensuring you get the most out of your time with us.

Whether you're new to Pilates or an experienced practitioner, our professional instructors ensure that every class is both challenging and accessible, helping you achieve your fitness goals in a supportive environment.

A virtual class is just like a live class, but it's led by an instructor displayed on screens that surround our modern class room. Each class is joined by an in-person certified FIFTY/50 coach who is there to answer your questions and assist with alignment and posture, ensuring you get the most out of every session. This hybrid model allows us to offer a wider range of classes and schedules while ensuring that you still receive a great workout supported with personalized guidance.

Absolutely! We love it when our members bring friends to FIFTY/50 Pilates.

You can easily add them to the class you're booking and pay for their spot through our online system. Just ensure your friend signs a waiver before attending the class. We're excited to welcome both of you to our Pilates community!

If you find that a class environment isn’t right for you, learning in the virtual room is entirely possible and can be just as effective. While we strongly recommend taking some of our Foundations classes or taking advantage of some Private Instruction to build a solid basis before diving into individual practice, we also offer a wealth of resources in our virtual content library for true beginners. This content includes step-by-step instructions on how to use the reformer, along with beginner or foundational-level material designed to help you get comfortable with Pilates techniques.
