Integrate (Level One)
A class suited to those looking for lots of cues, intelligent progressions and all the information you need to go deep, whether you are brand new to the practice or a seasoned practitioner. This class will give you the basics and more and will provide both deep core support and a balanced practice.
Invigorate (Level Two)
This class is open to all levels and will include progressions to intermediate and advanced poses. Everyone is welcome and modifications will be available. Expect invitations to get sweaty and playful in this fun and creatively sequenced workout. This class will move faster and offer fewer fundamental cues so might be good to get a few Integrate/Fundamentals down if you want to be really solid with the basics first.
Fundamentals (Beginner)
Brand new and trying to figure out which end of the reformer is which? We got you. Fundamentals is for absolute beginners or folks who want to brush up on the basics. Each class will give you an overview of the machine and explain basic movements clearly to help you feel totally confident navigating our Integrate and Invigorate classes.

Heal Old Injuries/Relieve Chronic Tension: Reformer Pilates is at heart a therapeutic practice. There are so many points of contact with the machine that it’s easy to start to notice and resolve imbalances that otherwise led to injury and tension.
Relieves Low Back Pain: lower back pain affects 70-85% of people at some point in their lives and can have debilitating impacts on quality of life. Strengthening deep muscles like the transverse abdominus can relieve and prevent this pain! Reformer Pilates at Gem specifically works to engage this core muscle and help keep it resilient and responsive.
