What to expect
when you arrive with us
Four moments that make up your first Flow Pilates experience.
What to wear & bring
Fitted leggings and a close-fitting top - your instructor needs to see your alignment. Grip socks are required (pick up a pair at the desk if needed). Eat lightly beforehand and plan to arrive 10 minutes early.
A calm, personal welcome
Flow Pilates is intentionally small - 8 reformers in a light, airy space on Franklin Street. Your instructor will greet you, orient you to the equipment, and note any injuries or areas to focus on.
Guided, adjusted, seen
Every movement can be scaled up or down. Your instructor moves through the room throughout class - adjusting springs, cueing your breath, offering modifications. You'll feel muscles you didn't know you had.
Lengthened. Aware. Ready.
Most first-timers feel released rather than exhausted. Some muscle awareness over 24-48 hours is normal. Come back within the week while the movement patterns are still fresh.

"Absolutely wonderful experience. The instruction is top-notch and the community feel is exactly what I was looking for in a boutique studio."
"I had a wonderful time at Flow Pilates! The studio is gorgeous, super clean with lots of natural light. The staff was polite and attentive, they gave me a tour of the space and overview of the reformer before class started. The instructor was lovely, she asked me about any injuries and focus areas beforehand, and gave thorough instruction and feedback throughout the session. I cant wait to take more classes!"

A Note from Our Founder
Hi, I’m Dana.
With a decade of experience as a certified Pilates instructor, I chose to build a boutique studio rather than a franchise because I believe "scale" is often the enemy of wellness. Our community is intentionally small, allowing me to bring my expertise to every single person who walks through our doors.
We’ve built Flow Pilates to be your "second home" - offering the operational precision you'd expect from a global leader, but with the warmth, intimacy, and tailored coaching that only a founder-led community can provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
We love welcoming new students to the practice. We recommend starting with our Intro 3-Pack, which gives you the perfect opportunity to find your rhythm. Our "Open Level" classes are designed to introduce you to the equipment and the principles of control and breath.
Our goal is for Flow Pilates to become your second home! After your intro classes, you can choose the membership tier that fits your lifestyle.
As a special welcome, if you decide to upgrade to a recurring membership within 7 days of purchasing your Intro Pack, we will take $25 off your first month as our way of saying thank you for committing to your practice.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely- think leggings and a fitted tank or tee.
- Important: For safety and hygiene, grip socks are required for all classes. We have them available for purchase at the studio if you forget yours!
Avoid clothing with text-decoration or bulky seams to protect the Reformer equipment.
All of our classes are listed as "Open Level", and that's intentional. At Flow Pilates, our instructors don't teach to the middle of the room. They teach each person in it. Whether you're stepping onto a reformer for the first time or you've been practicing for years, your instructor will adjust spring resistance, range of motion, and modifications in real time to match your body and your capability that day. You never need to worry about holding the class back. Everyone is moving at their own best.
Congratulations! Pilates is a wonderful way to support your body during pregnancy. If you have a consistent practice, you are welcome to continue with modifications. Please let your instructor know before class begins so we can keep you and your baby safe. If you are new to Pilates or in your third trimester, we recommend reaching out to us first to discuss the best options for you.
Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning or continuing an exercise program during pregnancy.
We understand that life happens. However, for your safety and to minimize disruption to the class flow, we cannot admit students more than 7 minutes after class has started. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to settle in, put on your grip socks, and breathe before we begin.
