- We want to welcome back all clients that have resumed their workouts after reopening. We have been diligently maintaining high standards to keep everyone safe & healthy while getting back to doing what we love – teaching Pilates! Just a reminder when you come in for your sessions: Leave your personal items in the car & use cubbies for shoes, phones & keys (lockers closed). Check in at the front desk 5 minutes before your session & sanitize your hands. Wait in reception area for your instructor to get you to start your session. Masks are required for all clients coming into the studio & must be worn until you get onto your piece of equipment with your instructor. You can remove it while working out but when you are moving around in the studio, you must wear your mask even if it is just moving to another piece of equipment or to the restroom. We all need to do our part to be responsible in helping to keep everyone healthy & masks are the way to make a difference. Another shut down of small businesses would have a very negative impact on the studio so I need everyone to understand the importance of this change in guidelines. All instructors will be wearing masks. Socks are required & we are asking that socks with exposed toes NOT be worn as nail polish marks the vinyl. Classes are 55 minutes long to allow instructors time to clean all equipment & props before starting their next session. Our lives have been changed in ways we could never have imagined but embracing this change will allow us to be a part of the solution. If you travel out of the state, I am asking you to quarantine for 14 days prior to returning to the studio. If you travel in state, quarantine 10 days before returning to the studio. Your instructor can do online with you during that time or you can utilize the online classes currently available.We look forward to clients returning soon that are taking time before their return to the studio. We understand your concerns & miss all of you. If those of you wishing to stay home for a while longer that may be missing the movements of Pilates, we are offering online private sessions (30 min or 1 hour) & Pilates mat & BarreAmped classes. Feel free to contact Kathy at the studio for more information. Thanks to all of you for your support of the studio during the mandated closing & your return to working out. I have a favor to ask everyone, with the studio at about 50% capacity, I am trying to keep costs down at this time. Please consider using cash or checks at this time as the credit card fees are very high & can be avoided if we use other payment methods. Thank you for your support of the studio!
