What to Expect at Your First Reformer Pilates Class at Lighthouse

Thinking about trying reformer Pilates for the first time? You’re in the right place. Whether you’ve never stepped onto a reformer before or it’s just been a while, we want you to know—it’s totally normal to feel a little unsure. At Lighthouse, our job is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and supported from the moment you walk through the door.

A Studio That’s All About You

What makes us different from big fitness studios is how personal everything feels. Every class is capped at just six clients, so you won’t be lost in the crowd. Instead, you’ll get real guidance from an experienced instructor who’s there to help you feel safe, successful, and seen. We’re here to support your body—not push it past its limits

What to Bring and What to Wear

You don’t need much. Just wear something you feel good moving in—think leggings, a tank top, or a fitted tee. Grip socks are highly recommended because they help with balance and prevent slipping. If you don’t have a pair, no worries—we sell them at the front of the studio. A water bottle is helpful, but that’s about it. We provide everything else you’ll need.

Arriving for Class

Try to arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in. Our front door stays locked during class for safety and to create a peaceful, focused space inside. If it’s your first time, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know before class begins. You’ll never feel rushed or thrown into anything you’re not ready for.

You Belong Here

We get it—starting something new can feel intimidating. But the truth is, you’re not supposed to know everything. That’s why we’re here. To teach you, support you, and help you reconnect with movement in a way that feels really good in your body.

If you ever have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to talk, and we genuinely love helping new clients find their rhythm.

See you in the studio soon. We can’t wait to move with you.
