September Newsletter

Summer is ending and the heat is coming down!   School is back in session and now is the time for us to all get back on a good fitness schedule.  Studio A Pilates will help you get back into shape from those long summer months of travelling and vacationing.  Check out our new class schedule or call us and we will get you back on track!

NEW CLASSES: We are now offering TRX® classes twice a week at Studio A Pilates; Mondays at 4:00 pm and Thursdays at 8:45 am.  This class offers the opportunity to add resistance training into your Pilates program without the personal training price.  The TRX® Suspension Trainer™ is a revolutionary method of leveraged bodyweight exercises. Safely perform hundreds of exercises that build power, strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, and prevent injuries, all at the intensity you choose. If you are already taking Reformer classes, you can now schedule in a TRX® class as part of your purchased Reformer Class package.  Try a class, you will love it!

We are also adding back to the schedule: Saturday 10:15am and Monday and Wednesday 2:00pm Reformer classes.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
We understand that there may be times that you have to cancel your session.  Please give us a notice by 5:00 pm the day before your scheduled class/private if you must cancel or change any appointment that you have scheduled with us or you will be charged full price for your missed session. 

WAITING LIST:  Studio A Pilates now has a wait list for each of the classes offered.  If you see that a class is full, but you would still like to attend, simply sign up for the class and you will be put on the list.  If someone cancels, an email will automatically be sent to you so that you are notified that you have been moved into the class. 

STUDIO CLOSINGS:
The studio will be closed on Monday Sept. 6th in observance of Labor Day.  Enjoy the nice long weekend!
