Getting Started

Signing up is a breeze with our online scheduling system! Click here to create an account. ALL NEW CLIENTS SHOULD START WITH A LEVEL 1 CLASS. To schedule on the go, download our RTR Pilates app to your smartphone where you can purchase a package, sign up for classes, and manage your schedule all from your device. 

Absolutely! Our Level 1 classes are specifically designed for beginners — no experience necessary. Don’t hesitate to tell the instructor it’s your first time; they’ll be able to keep an eye on your form and help you with any questions. We recommend arriving a few minutes early so the instructor can introduce you to the Pilates Reformer and equipment we use in class. Also, be sure to have grip socks!

Not necessarily. While taking classes through RTR will be helpful, it’s not required. Whatever your background and experience, training will give you the necessary tools to learn Pilates and how to teach a great class.

Pilates is a great workout for all fitness levels! However, you do need to be at least 16 years of age in order to take a RTR Pilates class, and at least 4’11” tall in order to be able to comfortably operate the reformer.

Regardless of experience, we require that everyone take at least one Level 1 class when coming to our studio for the first time. Teaching style and terminology can differ from studio to studio, so there may be aspects of the higher-level classes that you are not familiar with.

Comfort is key. Think tank tops, yoga pants, leggings, etc. Overly baggy clothing can make it difficult for the instructors to see your form, so fitted clothing is best. Please refrain from wearing jewelry and other loose accessories.

Grip socks are required in all classes! The grip socks help with your safety and stability on the machine, as well as cleanliness. ToeSox and Tavi Noir brand grip socks are sold at all of our studios starting at just $18 per pair, and may be purchased with a credit or debit card at the self-checkout station in each studio.

Clients that require supportive footwear for class due to injury or other health issues must provide a current doctor’s note, low profile, low tread, studio ONLY shoes that have been approved by the RTR Managment team.

Train With Us

The in-person sessions are mostly at our Great Falls studio. Though some work (learning, studying, homework) will be done from home and teaching that can be done at any studio.

Yes. Training is designed to be somewhat flexible. While we don’t recommend missing more than one session, you can make up the work that you miss.
This is largely dependent on how much you put in outside the sessions but here is what we estimate for the entirety of training:

-60 hours in person sessions

-20-30 hours of observation/practice (teaching)

-40-50 hours outside learning (reading, videos, homework)
It’s completely up to you! We do ask that new instructors teach a minimum of 1 class block (2 classes/week). Upon graduation, our scheduling team will work with you to find a schedule that suits your availability.
Yes, but think of this more as a measure of your progress. We do have a test-out at the end (both written and practical) but we are there to support you and get you to where you need to be. There will be no surprises and no tricks.
We cover a lot in our training program. We cover the basic moves in addition to anatomy and general modifications. We exclusively focus on reformer Pilates since that is what we teach in our classes. In addition, once you become an instructor, there are further trainings and workshops that are optional. Past topics have included: jump board, prenatal and postnatal, techniques focusing on L1 classes, and flow in building your classes.
Yes and no. Most studios have their own (in-house) training program. After RTR’s training you will be certified to teach at RTR. Each studio uses their own discretion on whether they would accept our certification to teach with them.

Etiquette

Cancellations must occur at least 12 hours prior to class in order to be considered early. Classes must be canceled online through either the online scheduler or the RTR Pilates app by the client.

When cancellation of a reservation happens as an “early cancellation”, there is no fee associated and you retain your class credit. An early cancellation does not count against your class package or membership tier.

Cancellations occurring less than 12 hours prior to class are considered late. The penalty for each late-cancellation is loss of a class credit. What does this mean? If you’re using a class package or membership, a class is deducted from your account. You may use another class credit from your package or membership to attend a class for that same day or purchase a Member’s Add-on Class for $20. Perkville points can also be redeemed for a Member’s Add on Class to be used for the same day as a late cancellation. If you’re currently in the 30-Day Intro Package, you forfeit your chance to take any class that day (the late-canceled class maxes out your 1 class/day limit).

No fee is associated with a late cancellation.

Failure to attend a scheduled class results in a $15 fee in addition to loss of the class credit (see description above). No exceptions! Our classes fill up very quickly, and often times there’s a waitlist of clients hoping to take your spot. Please be respectful of our staff and our other clients… CANCEL if you can’t attend! This not only spares you from the $15 fee, but also gives us the opportunity to fill your space.

In the event of severe weather, class cancellations and/or studio closures may occur. RTR Pilates makes a studio-by-studio, class-by-class decision regarding weather-related cancellations. If we decide to hold classes, the standard cancellation and no-show policies do still apply, so please cancel your own reservation online if you are not able to attend. If classes are canceled, we do our best to provide as much notice as possible. The best and most accurate way to view cancellations is to check the MindBody Online Schedule via the web or the RTR Pilates mobile app.

The schedule is updated online immediately as decisions are made. You will also receive an email notification from us if your class has been canceled (please check your settings within your RTR profile to ensure you are opted-in to receive these notifications!). You may view more information regarding winter weather procedures at www.RTRpilates.com/weather.

If a class is full, you have the option to add yourself to the waitlist. You must have an active class, package, or membership available on your account in order to join a waitlist. When someone early-cancels their reservation, the first person on the waitlist will be automatically added to the class. If you no longer wish to attend a scheduled class or your waitlisted class, you are responsible for canceling the class online (late-cancel and no-show policies apply). For example, if you have a class scheduled along with adding yourself to a second class’s waitlist on the same day, you, the client are responsible for canceling the class you do not wish to attend.  The waitlists only work outside of the 12-hour late-cancellation window — this ensures you have the opportunity to early-cancel a class you moved into from the waitlist if needed. It is best to remove yourself from the waitlist if the class is less than 12 hours away, as this will allow you to view and sign up for an opening in the class if it becomes available.

You must show up for class no later than 10 minutes after the scheduled start time in order to ensure your spot in the class. After 10 minutes, your spot may be given away to a standby client. This helps to minimize distractions for the instructor and for other clients during class. The instructors have the right to refuse entrance to a class after the ten minute late window.  This is to ensure the safety of the client.

If you inadvertently arrive at the wrong studio, please reach out to the management team info@rtrpilates.com or 301-983-3745 to accommodate the change fees associated with scheduling the new class at the new studio.  Additionally, alert the instructor that you have arrived at the wrong studio.

Classes must be scheduled online and in advance through either the online scheduler or the RTR Pilates mobile app. You are responsible for your own schedule! Any adjustments to your schedule can be made by going to RTR Pilates Online > My Info tab > View/Edit Schedule. Our classes fill up quickly, so please only schedule yourself for classes that you plan to attend.

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any class with one or fewer registrations. In this event we will contact you via email and/or phone call with reasonable advance notice. Instructors are subject to change without notice in the event that the regularly scheduled instructor is unavailable. If the instructor for a class is listed as “STAFF STAFF” this means we have not yet found an available substitute; the schedule will be updated immediately once we have found and confirmed a substitute instructor. Absolutely no refunds or credits will be issued due to a substituted instructor.

We want RTR Pilates to be your happy place! Thus we have a few simple rules for everyone to keep in mind during their time in our pilates studios. This is to ensure you and your fellow classmates have the best experience possible.

Please be sure to arrive on time, or a few minutes early if you are new to our studio. This allows the instructor time to introduce you to the equipment and discuss your goals or any health issues he/she may need to be made aware of. If there is a class in session, simply wait quietly in the waiting area of the studio as to not disturb.

During your pilates class, focus on the instructor’s cues, be sure to watch and listen! You may hear new terminology and some of the movements may feel foreign to you at first, watching your fellow classmates and listening for your instructor’s direction will help you ensure you are getting the most out of your time with us. Our classes become a small community of friends overtime and chit chat here and there is common, please refrain from holding private conversations as this can be distracting to other clients and to the instructor. This will also obstruct from your ability to follow along safely and thus get the most out of your reformer pilates class.

Please set your cell phone to silent or vibrate before entering the studio. For your safety, cell phone usage is strictly prohibited during class. All cell phone devices should be silenced and stowed away with your belongings prior to class. The Pilates method focuses on a mind-body connection and we want to ensure that everyone in the class can connect more deeply with the movement in their bodies and follow along without any annoyances or interruptions. This is for your benefit! Thank you and we appreciate your cooperation.

Alyson A

Alyson has always had a love for movement and balance training. While living in New York City in 1998, she found her way to the reformer and began using Pilates to minimize stress and offset the stiffness that came from sitting at a desk all day long. That’s when her love for Pilates officially took hold and began to be woven into the fabric of her exercise routine. In 2003, she moved to the Washington, DC area with her husband and stumbled upon a Pilates studio in Bethesda. While pregnant with their first son, she found Pilates to be extremely helpful with her growing body and shifting center of gravity. In 2018, she took her first RTR class and fell in love with the style of Pilates being taught as well as with all the RTR instructors. Then finally in 2022, Alyson decided she was ready to go from a client to an instructor and enrolled in the fall training class. She is excited to be part of the RTR family where she can continue to follow her passion and love for movement, balance, and focus.

Joanne G

Joanne’s journey to Pilates began as a client in 2013. An avid fitness enthusiast, tennis player and runner, Joanne began to feel that her weight training and cardio regimen had hit a plateau. Her work out routine had become too predictable and was getting stale. She needed a jump start so she set her sights on Pilates.   After her first month, she began to see uniform changes in her body that was the result of challenging specific muscles groups in a different way. More importantly, she had renewed energy and a deeper focus during her sessions that proved to be the key difference. Her strides piqued her interest to understand more about the discipline, so she enrolled in the training course offered through Potomac Pilates. “I learned that when you work your body without fully engaging your mind, fitness goals can be left unmet. The manner in which exercises are performed is much more significant than time spent.” With a Master’s Degree in Education, Joanne’s decision to instruct was a natural progression. “My goal is to help clients realize that Pilates strengthens and nurtures the mind as well as the body, and is beneficial for everyone, regardless of their fitness level. It improves flexibility and develops a strong powerhouse which is the corner stone of movement in our daily lives.”   Joanne has two children who have since left the nest and lives in McLean with her husband Steve.

Brittany B

Brittany’s love for Pilates began during the 1st round of COVID-19 lockdowns. Looking for an exercise program that could be done from the safety of her home, she stumbled upon a virtual mat Pilates class and immediately connected to the simple but effective movements and the emphasis on a mind-body connection. From that first virtual class, she was hooked and continued to work diligently on her mat practice throughout quarantine. Once COVID-19 restrictions began to lift and encouraged by her progress at home, Brittany then took a private Reformer Pilates class and has hit with a whole new level of appreciation for Pilates. She was inspired by the accessibility and adaptability of the Reformer programming towards people of all fitness levels and body types. Brittany knew then that she wanted to be a part of an industry that could meet you where you are and then continue to build upon and improve both your physical and mental well-being. Brittany joined RTR Pilates in the summer of 2021 after becoming certified through RTR’s in-house training program. She truly believes that Pilates is one of the most effective forms of exercise and the progress that you make in class will positively translate into all aspects of your life!

Alex A

As a lifelong athlete, after taking her first Pilates class at a Rock The Reformer studio, Alex knew that she had found a different kind of athleticism. Pilates helped to improve her running, prevented injury and she found all of that happened within a short time. The machine’s potential for an infinite number of movements and exercises blew Alex’s mind. The rest is history!
