Pilates Classes We Offer

Experience the Benefits of Pilates in Boulder, CO

Reformer Class

The Reformer is the most iconic piece of Pilates equipment—and for good reason. Its versatility and dynamic movement make it a favorite for building strength, improving flexibility, and increasing overall body awareness.

In this class, you'll use the moving carriage, adjustable springs, and varied positions (lying down, seated, kneeling, and standing) to explore a wide range of exercises. The spring tension adds resistance or support where needed, helping to improve balance, coordination, and control—all while moving with purpose and precision.

Joseph Pilates believed that practicing his method on the Reformer would help “reform the body,” and you'll start to feel those shifts as you continue your practice.

Classes are 55 minutes and limited to 8 students, ensuring you get the personal attention you need to move safely and effectively.

Table Class

The Pilates Table (also known as the Cadillac) offers a grounded, supportive environment to explore strength, stability, and mobility—making it a great option for both new and experienced practitioners.

Unlike the Reformer or Chair, the Table doesn't move, which many people find less intimidating. It provides a stable surface to work from, while the spring resistance helps guide your movement, offering just the right balance of support and challenge.

A lot of traditional mat exercises can be performed on the Table—with the added benefit of springs to assist or intensify depending on your needs. This makes it especially helpful if you've ever struggled in a mat class and want access to those movements in a more accessible way.

You'll explore the principle of equal and opposite forces, learning how to build strength, flexibility, and control from the inside out.

Classes are 55 minutes and limited to 9 students, ensuring plenty of personal attention.

Mat Class

Think of this class as an essential part of a well-rounded Pilates “diet.” While Pilates equipment classes offer valuable support and feedback, Mat work builds deep core strength and body awareness in a different—and often more challenging—way. With no springs or straps to rely on, you learn to control and move your body using pure strength, alignment, and breath.

Mat exercises are the foundation of the Pilates Method and are often what practitioners return to again and again for home practice and long-term results.

In our small, supportive classes (limited to 10 students), we make this work accessible to everyone—from beginners to those managing pain or injuries. We use therabands and other props to provide support when needed, and with our expertise, we’re able to modify or intensify movements based on your unique needs.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your practice, complement your equipment work, or build strength and mobility that translates to everyday life, Mat class is a powerful and rewarding place to be.

Classes are 55 minutes long and offer a focused, personalized experience.

Low Chair Class

Don’t let its size fool you—the Pilates Low Chair delivers a powerful, full-body workout. It’s a favorite for good reason: this versatile piece of equipment helps build leg and core strength, improves balance and posture, and is great for identifying and addressing imbalances in the body.

Chair work often feels a bit more challenging than Reformer or Table classes—not because it’s harder, but because there’s less surface to support you. Many exercises are done standing or in upright positions, which means your balance and stability are constantly being challenged.

This class is especially great for athletes looking to cross-train—cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders often use the Chair to stay strong in the off-season or prep for winter sports.

Expect a fun, focused 55-minute session, with plenty of individualized guidance. Classes are limited to 7 students to keep things personal and supportive.

Low Chair & Springboard Class

This class blends two unique pieces of Pilates equipment — the Low Chair and the Springboard — for a balanced, full-body workout that builds strength, stability, and control.

The Low Chair offers supportive, grounded work that challenges the legs, hips, and core while also improving balance and coordination. The Springboard — the wall-mounted system with springs — adds resistance for arms, posture, and deeper core engagement, along with opportunities to work through a variety of movement patterns.

Together, these tools create a class that feels focused, efficient, and thoughtfully challenging without being overwhelming. Movements are broken down clearly, making this a great option for those newer to the chair or springboard, as well as those looking to refine their skills and understanding of both.

As always, instructors provide guidance on setup, spring changes, and movement details so you can feel confident and supported throughout class.

Bone Density & Metabolic Fitness

This specialized class is designed to help women build strength in a way that supports bone health, fall prevention, and long-term metabolic fitness.

Co-taught by Kim Robins, Certified Pilates Instructor, and Darcy Vanderbie-Pace, Physical Therapist, this small-group series focuses on safely learning and progressing foundational strength movements like squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. Research continues to show that as we age, bones respond best to appropriately challenging resistance — not endless light repetitions, but well-executed sets using weights that truly stimulate change.

You’ll work at a pace that prioritizes form, alignment, and confidence. This class is especially supportive for women who feel unsure or nervous about lifting heavier weights. We break movements down clearly, progress gradually, and make sure you understand what you’re doing and why.

In addition to supporting bone density, this style of training helps improve balance, coordination, and overall strength — all key factors in reducing fall and fracture risk and maintaining independence.

Balance / Strength / Mobility Class

This class is designed to support your body in the ways it needs most—by building strength, improving balance, and increasing mobility. These three elements are deeply interconnected, and in this class, you’ll feel how they work together to enhance overall physical well-being.

We’ll use a combination of Pilates equipment (including the Reformer), resistance bands, and hand weights to challenge your body in safe, effective, and functional ways. While the class turns up the heat a bit more than a traditional Pilates session, form and alignment remain our top priorities.

You’ll experience movement that draws not only from Pilates but also from yoga and functional strength training—reflecting the diverse tools I’ve gathered through my own training and personal practice.

As we age, maintaining strength and practicing balance becomes even more important. This class is here to help you stay strong, steady, and mobile—so you can keep doing the things you love with confidence.

Kick A$$ Pilates Class

This isn’t your average Pilates Class! We combine the Low Chair, Reformer, and Mat work to deliver a dynamic, full-body workout that pushes your strength, control, and endurance.

Expect creative sequences, a faster pace, and exercises you won’t see in your typical class. While the challenge level is higher, form and integrity always come first—you’ll work hard, but you’ll work smart.

Perfect for those who want to take their Pilates practice up a notch and break a serious sweat while staying true to the core principles.

Weights Class

This class is dedicated to strength training with an emphasis on form, control, and function. While it isn’t a Pilates class, we bring Pilates-based movement principles — alignment, control, and body awareness — into how we lift, helping you move efficiently and safely under load.

You’ll work with a variety of resistance tools and free weights, practicing foundational strength movements in a focused, supportive environment. The goal is to build real-world strength, improve coordination, and develop better control through your full range of motion.

This class tends to be a great fit for those who are already comfortable with the basics of strength training and are ready to continue progressing. Instruction remains detailed and attentive, with an emphasis on quality of movement over speed or intensity for its own sake.

If you’re looking to get stronger, move with more confidence, and apply mindful movement principles to weight training, this class delivers a thoughtful, no-nonsense approach to lifting well.

Jumpboard Class

Add a little bounce to your Pilates practice. This Reformer-based class uses the Jumpboard — a padded, flat surface in place of the footbar — to introduce light, rhythmic cardio in a way that’s supportive and joint-friendly.

You’ll build leg strength, core stability, and coordination while working in a dynamic, low-impact format. The jumping is controlled and spring-supported, making it very different from high-impact floor cardio. We also take intentional breaks from jumping to focus on arms and deeper core work, creating a well-rounded, balanced session.

Offered every other week, Jumpboard is a great way to challenge your endurance, elevate your heart rate, and experience a more playful, athletic side of Pilates — all while staying mindful of alignment and control.

Open Studio Class

Think of Open Studio like a Pilates version of going to the gym—but with expert guidance. You’ll move through your personalized program at your own pace, using the equipment that works best for your body and goals.

While you’re in charge of your flow, your instructor is always there—offering feedback, keeping you safe, and introducing new exercises when you're ready. There’s a relaxed, social vibe to these sessions, and they’re a great fit for people who want more independence, need modifications, or are working through injuries or chronic issues.

If you're new to Pilates, we recommend starting with at least three private sessions before joining Open Studio, so you feel confident and supported.

Classes are 55 minutes and limited to 10 students to ensure plenty of individual attention.
