Getting Started

Pilates is an exercise program originally developed by Joseph Pilates. Pilates participants focus on developing strength and flexibility through the art of controlled movement. ​ Pilates is a series of activities guided by a certified instructor who ensures proper technique and provides an enjoyable and safe workout designed to improve core strength, tone and lengthen the muscles, increase flexibility, and improve balance. ​ Some Pilates studios offer mat classes which take place on a yoga mat on the floor. TerraLuna is special in that we offer only Reformer Pilates. ​ The Reformer is the piece of equipment featuring a sliding platform called a carriage and a series of springs and pulleys attached to straps for the hands or feet. Reformer Pilates allows for a wide range of exercises that stretch, strengthen and support the body. ​ Pilates can be modified to accommodate most body types and health concerns. Many of the activities are done lying down and are accessible for all ages, fitness levels, and many health challenges such as joint pain or previous injuries.

In all likelihood, yes, you can, but, as with beginning any new physical activity, it is always recommended to check with your primary healthcare provider to review your specific situation. Before attending your first Private Lesson or Group Reformer Class, you will sign a waiver stating that you are physically and medically able to participate.​ That being said, one of the many, many awesome things about Pilates is that almost everyone can participate! Pilates can be modified to accommodate most body types, health histories, and ability levels. At TerraLuna we strive to make all bodies welcome, safely, and comfortably. We are here to work with you, to meet you where you are today. We invite you to call the studio to discuss your particular situation and how we can best accommodate you.

Water and a sense of adventure! Beverages other than water are not permitted in the studio. Socks specifically designed for Pilates/Yoga with rubberized treads on the bottom are helpful and more comfortable than going barefoot but are not required. We typically have Pilates socks for Guests to borrow. Regular socks are not permitted on the Reformer as they are a slip hazard.

Beverages other than water, electronics, and inner critics. We pride ourselves on hosting a peaceful and calm environment. You will be invited to disconnect while at the studio, meaning that cell phones will kindly be silenced and set aside during class. You will also be invited to silence your inner critic and accept yourself as you are in the moment.

Out of respect for Guests with chemical sensitivities, please avoid wearing heavy perfume and/or other strong scents to the Studio as these can cause migraines/asthma/allergy attacks.

​As with most types of physical activity, the more often you participate, the faster you will see results. That being said, at TerraLuna we believe it's also important to be realistic and practical. Our goal is to help you develop habits that can be sustained in the long term, which lead to a lifestyle including Pilates as an important aspect of self-care. ​ Generally, Guests attending class 2-3 times per week feel (and see!) results within 6-12 weeks.

All Group Reformer classes have a Waitlist which can accommodate up to six (6) Guests and we encourage you to utilize this feature to get the most out of your monthly membership! You must be on the Spaces by Wix app and have notifications enabled. When you clear the Waitlist you will receive a notification via the app. You will then have three (3) hours to confirm your space in class. If you do not reply within three (3) hours the app automatically cycles to the next Guest. TerraLuna staff can also manually move Guests from the Waitlist into class. When we manually add Guests to class we will also send a message on the app or an e-mail congratulating you on clearing the Waitlist. Just like the app, you will have three (3) hours to reply to our message, thereby confirming your space in class. If we do not receive a confirmation reply within this time frame, we will go to the next person on the Waitlist. The standard Cancellation Policy applies to all confirmed spaces in all classes If you clear the Waitlist while also having a confirmed reservation on the same day in a less-desired class you may choose which class you would prefer to attend. If you are outside of the Cancellation Policy window you are responsible for cancelling the less-desired class. If your clear the Waitlist inside of the Cancellation Policy window (24 hours) it is your responsibility to communicate your double-bookings to us as we will gladly remove you from the less-desired class without penalty. If you do not communicate your double-booking to us, the regular Cancellation Policy applies.

We are committed to providing a healthful environment for all Guests and staff. If you or a family member are feeling unwell kindly cancel your class.

No, this is generally not possible for several reasons: ​ All Guests, even out-of-town, one-time visitors must make a profile in order to have signed waivers and payment information on file before class begins. ​ We have a limited number of Reformers available so a reservation is required to ensure equipment for all participants.

Yes, you did! Drop-In pricing is designed for Guests who are visiting Hamilton from out of town. This one-time purchase still needs to be made on the website in advance and still requires the creation of a Guest profile. And, most importantly, Drop-In Guests require a class reservation. If you are visiting from out of town and want to take a Pilates class, we look forward to meeting you!

Class spots being held without payment will be removed from the schedule. ​ Debit cards are not recommended to establish a membership profile. ​ Under no circumstances will TerraLuna, LLC be liable for overdraft fees, over limit fees, transaction fees, or any other penalty or fee assessed to Guests' card of record.
