What happens when I arrive?

You’ll be greeted by Monique or one of the other amazing hands-on trainers, not a front desk clipboard boss. You’ll have a quick conversation about your goals, injuries, training history, and how your body actually feels day to day. No rush. No awkward silence. No judgment.

This is not a “hop on the Reformer and hope for the best” situation.

Your first session includes:

  • 1. Movement screening

    We look at how your body actually moves to identify imbalances, restrictions, and patterns that affect performance and pain before loading anything.

  • 2. Posture and mobility checks

    A quick assessment of alignment and joint mobility to see where you’re tight, compensating, or overworking so training supports your body, not fights it.

  • 3. Strength and control assessment

    We assess how well you produce and control strength, not just how much. Stability, coordination, and control come first; strength follows.

  • 4. Breathing and core connection work

    We establish proper breathing and deep core engagement to improve stability, movement efficiency, and long-term results (yes, this matters more than you think).

Wait! I Still Have Questions

Is this a workout or an assessment?

Both — but intelligently done.

Your first session includes:

  • Movement screening
  • Posture and mobility checks
  • Strength and control assessment
  • Breathing and core connection work

You’ll still move and sweat, but everything Monique does is intentional. The goal is to understand how your body moves, not just how hard you can push it.

Do I need Pilates experience?

Nope. Zero. None.

If you’ve never touched Pilates equipment, you’re actually in a great spot.

We work with:

  • Total beginners
  • Athletes
  • People coming back from injury
  • People who’ve tried “everything” and are over it

She meets you where you are — not where Instagram says you should be.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, fitted workout clothes you can move in.

Think: athletic, not baggy.

Grip socks are recommended (and yes, they actually matter on the equipment).

Will this be too easy or too hard?

Neither. And sometimes both.

We adjust in real time. If something’s too easy, we’ll progress it. If something’s too hard, we’ll regress it — without making you feel like you “failed.”

This is smart training, not ego training.

Is this focused-on rehab or fitness?

That’s a false choice.

Sessions are designed to:

  • Improve strength
  • Build stability
  • Increase mobility
  • Reduce pain
  • Make your body work better in real life

If you’re rehabbing, training, or just want to move without feeling wrecked; this fits.

Will I be sore after?

Possibly — but the good kind.

Think:

  • “I didn’t know I had muscles there” sore
  • Not “I can’t walk downstairs” sore

The goal is progress, not punishment.

How often should I come?

That depends on your goals.

Most people start with:

  • 1–2 sessions per week

We will recommend a frequency that makes sense for your body, schedule, and life — not a hard sell.

You’ll still move and sweat, but everything we do is intentional. The goal is to understand how your body moves, not just how hard you can push it.
