Question 3

How should I prepare for class?

Accepted Answer

Whether it's your 1st class or your thousandth, follow these general preparation instructions for the best experience:Come hydrated! The time to hydrate for today's class was yesterday ☺️Avoid eating a large meal at for at least 2 hours prior to class. If you're hungry before class, fruit is usually a great option closer to classBring a mat, a large towel, and a water bottleWear whatever you're comfortable in. You don't need fancy yoga clothes to come to class. Tighter fitting clothes tend to feel better on your body once you're sweaty, and make sure whatever you choose covers everything you want covered and that it does not become see-through when wet (trust us, we've seen it happen) 🫣Leave expectations at the door. You're different every time you step on your mat and progress is not linear. Do your best to stay in the present moment and keep an open mindTake it easy honey! If you end up needing to take a hot nap, we support you in taking care of yourself

Question 10

I've only done reformer Pilates. How is Pilates at Beat different?

Accepted Answer

We offer two different styles of contemporary mat Pilates classes:Hot Pilates (bodyweight). For this one you only need yourself, a mat and a towel. You don't need to wear grippy socks, but if you want to wear them we won't stop you. Strength Pilates (utilizing hand weights and resistance bands). For this one we will write what you need on the white board in our hot room. We usually recommend 1-2 sets of hand weights and a resistance band that we'll cue throughout class. If you ever want to come to Strength Pilates and simply use bodyweight, that's always OK!

➡️ Please do not bring in any outside equipment into our classes.

Both classes are high-intensity, low-impact, interval training styles classes utilizing Pilates principals. We always start on the floor with glute specific work, move into abs, practice planks and prone exercises, and then the second half of class consists of leg, arm and cardio moves. You'll love it!
