Group Classes

Twist's highly trained instructors integrate the original method developed by Joseph Pilates with their own twist to create something truly unique: a true pilates class with a modern approach to functional fitness. Our small-group classes are taught on Balanced Body equipment and may integrate both the reformer and tower apparatus for a full-body workout.

    Flex is our intermediate-to-advanced level class designed for experienced practitioners looking to refine their form and enhance their mind-muscle connection through a more challenging variety of exercises. Intstructors focus on coordination, balance and strength as well as creative transitions to move seamlessly from one move to the next. We recomend taking 20 Form classes before Flex.

  • TRX

    TwistRX

    TwistRX is is a circuit-style bodyweight workout using the TRX suspension straps to strenghten every muscle in your body at the resistance level that is right for you. We keep our 50-minute TRX classes small to ensure our instructors can help you maintain correct form while challenging you with a mix of TRX circuits.

    Note: This is not a pilates class... but it makes a great complement if we do say so ourselves.

What is the Pilates tower?

At Twist, we think of the Tower as an extension of the reformer. Each of our reformers has a tower attachment – two vertical bars with spring options that allow us to integrate a wider range of low-impact resistance exercises into our classes. Our instructors may choose to incorporate the pilates tower into their class flows for a fun twist on any of our class styles.
