Why the wave Pilates?

Pilates is one of the best and most effective ways to strengthen the core, improve posture, gain strength and flexibility throughout the whole body. At The Wave, we strive to focus on the mind/body connection in all classes and also offer other supplemental classes such as Tai Chi, Yoga, Barre, Dance, Fusion Flow, Meditation, etc. We believe that intentional movement, breathing, music, cueing, compassion are all such important elements to helping your class time be a significant, healing, grounding part of your day.

Is Pilates for every body?

Yes! Modifications and adaptations are available and encouraged to help Pilates be a safe and effective form of movement for every body. But, starting with Pilates Reformer group classes may not be the best option at first depending on your personal experience, fitness levels, injuries, pregnancy, rehabilitating, etc. Mat Pilates, our intro to reformer classes, Tai Chi, Seaside Yoga and private or semi-private classes are a more appropriate starting point in those particular circumstances. If you are brand new to Reformer Pilates, please schedule an intro to Reformer class initially to gain an understanding of the Reformer and basic foundation from the beginning.

Why are all the classes so full?

We are glad everyone is excited to sign up and get into a class. However, the class numbers moves a lot, so get on the waitlist and you will have a better chance of getting in the class if you get on the waitlist early. You will also see last minute classes open up. Usually the day of there will be spots that open up, so if you feel like you want to go to a class that day, look and see if a class has opened up.

How does the waitlist work?

When you have signed up for a class and get on the waitlist, you will get a text message when someone gets out of the class and a spot opens up. You will have two hours to accept (by pressing 1) to go into the class, or decline (by pressing 9). If you decline, then you’ll get off the waitlist and the next person on the waitlist will get the invitation to accept or decline. IF you don’t reply within the two hours of receiving the text, then it will go to the next person on the waitlist. Two hours before the class starts, if there is any open spots available, the class is then open to the first person who gets in the class.

Are there any fees for canceling a class or not showing up?

IF you change your mind and get out of a class more than 8 hours before the class starts, then there is NO FEE to cancel the class. However, if you cancel within 8 hours of the class starting, you will be charged a $10 late cancelation fee. If you do not show up to a class, then you will be charged a $15 no-show fee. These fees are to encourage you to get out of a class you know you are not going to make so others can get in! IF you do get sick or have something come up that you have to miss a class, get out of the class as soon as you know so others can get in the class and then send us an email or text to refund you the fee.

what are your studio protocols?

Your safety and well-being is very important to us. We would like to keep our studio as clean and safe as possible. When you enter, please remove your shoes and wear clean sticky, grip socks beyond the boutique areas. We ask that you use your own mat and bolsters (or pillows). You may even want to bring a small blanket for meditation moments and classes. We will have some to borrow and purchase but again, would like to keep the exchange of germs as minimal as possible. If you are sick, please stay home and rest. We will have hand sanitizer (it smells like a vacation) and will ask that you clean any equipment used, including reformers thoroughly after each class.

Please wait to enter the studio until you see the class before yours finish. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at hello@thewavepilates.com. We genuinely care about you and want to do whatever we can to serve and help you have the most positive experience.

Do you do teacher trainings?

Yes! We will be hosting a Balanced Body accredited teacher training beginning with Reformer 1 and planning to host four additional modules (Reformer 2, Reformer 3, Anatomy and Movement Principles) throughout 2024. Once all modules and practice hours are complete, you’ll be certified Reformer Pilates Instructor with world renowned Balanced Body!

Do you offer coaching?

Yes, we plan to! We will be offering nutrition and wellness coaching in groups and individually. Please stay tuned or reach out for more information.

Do you offer childcare?

We do not, but if you need childcare at the fitness facility, we highly recommend Core Body Pilates and Power Core Plus who both offer childcare and are amazing studios. We plan to offer mama (or caregiver) and me classes and series. Stay tuned!

What are your cleaning/sanitation standards?

Very thorough and frequent cleanings of entire studio as well as clients cleaning the reformers and equipment used after each class (please feel free to clean before your class as well if you’d like to.)
