Why It Works

Our experienced instructors will guide you through proper body positioning, helping you feel comfortable and confident on the Pilates equipment. You’ll also become familiar with the unique terminology and cueing specific to RTR Pilates, ensuring seamless integration into our studio environment.

Even if you’ve never set foot in a Pilates studio before, our Level 1 class is accessible and personalized to your needs. We prioritize your comfort and safety, ensuring that every client, regardless of their background, receives an effective and fulfilling workout. Our supportive community and expert instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.

RTR Pilates Level 1+

For those seeking a bit more challenge than a traditional Level 1 class, our Level 1+ Pilates class is the perfect fit. This class maintains the basic moves and exercises found in Level 1 but elevates the pace to align more closely with a Level 2 class.

What To Expect

The Level 1+ class is designed to bridge the gap between introductory and intermediate Pilates levels. It provides an opportunity for those who want a faster-paced workout while still benefiting from foundational exercises. Our experienced instructors will ensure that the transitions and flow of the class challenge you to progress, making it a suitable choice for those ready to advance their practice.
