Frequently Asked Questions

We love beginners! While all of our classes are appropriate for all levels, we recommend that you start with our signature Barre Classic or Mat Pilates class. Our instructors give clear form cues and offer modifications for all levels. Please arrive 10 minutes early for your first class so you can chat with your teacher about any injuries or special requirements.

Barre is a full-body workout inspired by ballet, Pilates, and functional fitness. Using the ballet barre for balance, classes combine small, controlled isometric movements with dynamic sequences that build endurance, sculpt lean muscles, and improve posture. Don’t worry—you don’t need dance experience! Barre is low-impact, joint-friendly, and highly effective for strengthening your core, toning arms and legs, and increasing flexibility. We push each muscle group to fatigue—you will feel the burn! Classes are set to energizing music with motivating instructors to guide you through each move.

Barre traces its roots back to the late 1950s, when German dancer Lotte Berk developed a conditioning method in London that blended ballet-inspired movements with rehabilitative exercises. Berk had suffered a back injury and created her technique by combining her dance training with therapeutic strengthening. Her method quickly became popular with dancers and non-dancers alike for its ability to tone muscles, improve posture, and build graceful strength.

Pilates, originally called Contrology, is a system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates to strengthen the body uniformly. You may have heard that Pilates is just a workout for the core or abdominal muscles; however, it truly is a full-body workout! While we do work our abs, the main focus in our Pilates classes is moving from your center.

Rooted in six guiding principles—concentration, control, centering, precision, breath, and flow—classical Pilates follows a structured sequence designed to move the body with purpose and efficiency. The work emphasizes the powerhouse (the deep abdominal and spinal muscles, aka your “center”) to support every movement, building strength, flexibility, and balance from the inside out.

Our Pilates classes are not set to music, as we strive for each person to focus inward and find the rhythm and flow within each exercise. Leave the muscle burn and shake for your barre class! In Pilates we do no more than 8-10 reps per exercise with careful, focused intention.

Nope! All of our classes are accessible to everyone—no ballet or prior fitness experience required. All classes include modifications and progressions to suit your individual fitness level. 

Wear what makes you feel comfortable! Form-fitting activewear (leggings and a fitted top for ladies and joggers or shorts with a tight lining for the gentlemen) helps us keep an eye on alignment. We do require grip socks (we sell them in studio) for safety and hygiene. All you need to bring is a water bottle; we provide everything else!

Yes—spots can fill quickly! Please book online in advance, using the Pike13 client app (available on Google Play or in the App Store) or our scheduling website. If class is full, go ahead and join the waitlist—you’ll be auto-added in order if a spot opens. Often the waitlist will clear and you’ll be moved into the class. Please remember to cancel yourself off the waitlist if you can’t make it.

We understand that things happen and you might be a minute or two behind schedule. Please try to arrive a few minutes early to get settled. For safety, we lock the main front door when class begins. We will leave the studio door unlocked, but if you are more than 5 minutes late we may have to turn you away. For your safety, we need to make sure you are warmed up properly and ready for the work ahead!
