Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ultimate Pilates (UP)?
Ultimate Pilates is the ultimate in full body training, using a revolutionary new machine – the Megaformer Black Edition, created by celebrity trainer Sebastien Lagree. On the Megaformer you will be able to strengthen, tighten, and tone the entire body quickly and safely using an integrated combination of pilates, circuit training, strength training, and cardio. The 50 minute group classes are perfectly designed to be the only work out you need to get the results you desire without spending hours at the gym.
How can I contact UP to schedule a class?
Through experience and research we have selected a highly user-friendly online system where you, the member, can be in complete control. We recommend all our members get familiar with the automated booking system, as it is the easiest, fastest, and most accurate way to book classes. Classes can be booked up to two weeks in advance. Walk-ins are always welcome pending availability; however reserving a space online guarantees a spot in class.
I have never done the workout before, can I do the classes? Or should I do a private session first?
The UP workout is specifically designed for a group setting. Our certified instructors will show you how to set up your machine before class (please arrive 10 minutes early for your first class) and provide you with modifications needed for each move during classes.
If you are hesitant to enter a group class, or have chronic back pain, painful joints, a sever medical condition or have not been physically active in the past, we will be happy to offer you a private session during non-class hours.
Keep in mind that for safety and sanitary reasons, Grip Socks are required for all classes. Grip socks are available for purchase in the studio.
How often should I work out at UP?
The workout is designed to work your body to muscle fatigue – at which point you need to rest to get maximum benefit. Depending on your fitness level and the intensity of YOUR workout, you will need more or less time to recover. We recommend 2-3 times a week to allow your body to properly recover and repair. Listen to your body. You may need more or less time to get the results YOU want.
What is your cancellation policy?
To receive a full refund for a cancellation of your reservation, you must cancel at least 24 hours before your class. If you cancel within 24 hours you will be charged a $15 cancellation fee. If you do not late cancel within 2 hours of class or do not show up for class, you will be charged a no show fee of $25. No exceptions. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class. If you do not show up for your reserved spot within 5 minutes after the start of class, it may be given to a standby student.
What is the “waitlist”?
If you decide to register yourself on a waitlist, you will automatically be added to the class when spot becomes available. You will receive an email as a confirmation stating that you have been added to a class. This can happen up to 2 hours before the class starts. So please keep in mind that if you no longer want to take a class you must remove yourself from the waitlist to avoid being charged. Please update your email address to ensure we are able to communicate with you.
In addition, we do not offer the option of 'switching' classes. You are welcome to sign up for a class whenever there is a spot available. However, if you are scheduled for one class but prefer to attend at another time, and are added from the waitlist, you will be charged for both reservations, if you have not canceled your class 12 hours before.
What if I’m late to class?
Please be mindful that if you don't arrive within 5 minutes of the scheduled class time, your space may be given away to a stand by customer. Don't forget to sign in at the front desk!
