I was able to check out a class at Form and Function Pilates and I'm glad I did. It's a new studio owned and taught by Doug. Sign up was a breeze and they even offered an intro price for your first class when you are a new client. I love that they offer 2 class types Form and Function. Form is a slower paced class with deliberate movements perfect for beginners and Function is more challenging, the pace is a little faster but it's still ok for most all levels. This made it easy and not intimidating to sign up and get in easily.
The space is the old food terminal and is renovated with a cool industrial feel. There was plenty of space in the class area and it didn't feel cramped which was awesome. Doug was able to demo the sequences before we started each one, it was great that it was easy to see and hear him while he demoed. I tried the Function class which was challenging and a good pace for me. It was definitely contemporary Pilates but more on the side of a workout that was on a reformer and less classical feeling. I don't say that as a negative at all. But with so many Pilates classes popping up it's hard to know everyone's teaching style.
The receiving room was cozy and beautiful. Class began and ended in there. It felt like a community before and after class which is a nice touch. They have balanced body allegro reformers. read more
