How is Pilates different from other forms of exercise?

Pilates is different from most exercises out there because it’s non-impact and safe, and it really works on using the body as a whole.  With every exercise you are reminded to engage your abdominal muscles which protects your spine.  You’re also working the body very evenly and symmetrically, making sure one side is not working harder than the other.

Do you have an introductory first class for new customers?

Yes we do! Check out our price list on this website. You’ll find introductory specials as well as seasonal specials.

Do you need a private session before taking a Pilates class?

At least one private session is encouraged in order to help familiarize you with the equipment and some of the basic Pilates movements.  If you have taken classes elsewhere, let’s discuss it before you begin your group or semi-private sessions.

How do I sign up for a class?

Online booking is the easiest and most efficient way to reserve a class. Visit the schedule page on our website and add desired classes to your cart. You must pay in advance.  If you need to renew your series, please do so online or at the front desk before you take your class.

What is your cancellation policy?

We have a 12-hour cancellation notice requirement.

Are packages transferable?

No, they are not.

Does Bloom Pilates have a Referral Program?

Yes. If you bring in someone who purchases any of our packages, you will receive $10 cash for each new person.

If this is my first time at Bloom Pilates and Wellness, is there any paperwork I need to complete before I can take a class?

Yes, just a minimal amount. We have a new client form that will ask you about your level of experience, any concerns or previous injuries, etc. It’s best if you arrive at the studio a few minutes early so you can complete the form before class and we can go over everything together.

Where do I park?

We have a joint parking lot with Magnolia Physical Therapy and U.S. Bank. Parking is never a problem for clients.

Is there anything I need to bring to class?

No. You may bring a towel and water, but if you forget we have them available.  Also if you have socks with grip soles, we recommend that you bring them.

Do I need socks in Pilates classes?

We do not require socks in class. However, for safety and good hygiene, we encourage socks with grip soles.

Do you have showers?

We do not have showers, but we do have a very clean and comfortable bathroom that will give you the space to get changed if necessary.

Can men take Pilates too?

Yes, it was invented by a man, and men can certainly receive the same benefits as women.

I have a back problem. Is it ok for me to do Pilates?

We would require clearance from your doctor.  Clients have seen great results and many have decreased back pain from doing Pilates.

If I am pregnant can I still work out?

Yes! Many of our female clients have worked out/are working out with us during their pregnancy. We require that you first get clearance and guidelines from your doctor and share those with us before attending a class. We will then ensure that modifications are made in class to accommodate your needs.
