Frequently asked questions

Pilates is a low-impact method of exercise that builds core strength, flexibility, and body awareness. At Momentum, we use spring-loaded equipment — the reformer, tower, and Wunda chair — to add resistance and support. Every movement is controlled, precise, and scalable to your level.

Start with Momentum Signature or Momentum Flow. Both classes scale to all levels, and the instructor will walk you through the reformer before class. Arrive 10-15 minutes early for your first class so we can give you a proper tour.

Fitted or semi-fitted workout clothing that lets you move without restriction. Avoid loose shorts or baggy tops — they can catch on the equipment. Grippy socks are required on the reformer and chair.

Water and grippy socks (for sale at the front desk if you forget). Everything else is provided. Lockers and changing areas are onsite.

Yoga focuses on flexibility, breath, and holding shapes. Pilates focuses on controlled movement, spring-loaded resistance, and strengthening the deep core. Both help the body move better. Many clients do both.

The reformer is a sliding platform with pulleys and springs used for the majority of our classes. The tower is a wall-mounted unit with springs, ideal for strength and alignment work. The Wunda chair is a compact piece that emphasizes balance, power, and control.

Most clients see results practicing two to three times a week. Your body changes fastest when pilates becomes a rhythm, not a one-off. If you can only make it once a week, start there and build from it.

Pilates is often recommended for prenatal and postnatal fitness and for recovery from injury — but only with medical clearance and a qualified instructor. Tell your instructor before class starts so they can modify exercises for you. If you are unsure, consult your healthcare provider first.
