Wear comfortable clothing that allows a full range of motion. Avoid clothing with exposed zippers or sharp hardware that could damage the equipment. Grip socks are recomended but not required. 

Please make sure your body is free of oils, lotions, sunscreen, and other oily products before class, as they can damage the reformers and upholstery. We have a shower stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash if you need to rinse off before or after your session; however, you'll need to bring your own towel.

Not at all! Our classes are intentionally small so you receive expert instruction tailored to your skill level. Whether it's your first time on a reformer or you've practiced Pilates before, your instructor will guide you through every movement. If you're feeling a little nervous, you can always start with a private one-on-one session for individualized support before joining a semi-private class.

If you complete your intake paperwork online (highly recommended!), you'll only need to arrive 10 minutes before your first class. If you have not completed your paperwork beforehand, please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early so we can get everything taken care of before class begins. After your first visit, arriving 5 minutes before class is all you'll need.

Cancelations made within 12 hours of the class start time will not be refunded. 

Yes! Simply visit the Pilates tab under the Fitness Center section of our website to book your class. If you're new to Capitola Mill, you'll be prompted to create an account before completing your reservation. From your online account, you can easily schedule, cancel, or reschedule appointments, provided you're within our cancellation policy. At this time, all fully private one-on-one sessions must be scheduled by contacting us directly.

If you're not currently a member, you'll need to exit the fitness floor once your class has ended or purchase a $10 Day Pass through our website if you'd like to continue using the gym.
