Policies and FAQs

Absolutely. All of our classes welcome all levels, and our instructors are trained to meet you where you are. If you want to ease in, Body Smart is designed to build your foundation at a slower pace. But plenty of first-timers jump straight into Total Body and never look back. Either way, you belong here.

Evolve is born in classical training but we train on the XFormer — the premier modern Pilates machine on the market — which creates a low-impact, high-intensity experience that traditional Pilates equipment simply can't match. Add in deliberate cardio bursts, a boutique small-group setting, and instructors who are committed to your results, and you have something genuinely different.

No — and the difference matters. Club Pilates and most classical studios use a traditional Reformer. Evolve trains on the XFormer, a more advanced spring-resistance machine with fixed platforms, dual pulley systems, and a broader exercise library. The result is a high-intensity, low-impact full-body workout with deliberate cardio bursts built in — something a traditional Reformer isn't designed to deliver. Same foundational principles, meaningfully different experience.

A few things set us apart. We train on the XFormer — the most advanced spring-resistance machine on the market, a significant evolution beyond the traditional Reformer. Every instructor is personally trained by founder Dana Romanosky, a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher since 2012. Classes are capped at 10 people so your instructor can actually see you throughout the entire 50 minutes. And the studio is bright, naturally lit, and built for the work — not the aesthetic. If you've tried other studios and felt like a number, this is different.

Every class is capped at 10 people. That's a deliberate choice. It's the number at which an instructor can genuinely see every person in the room throughout a 50-minute class, offer real-time corrections, and know enough about each client to modify when something doesn't look right. Small on purpose.

Absolutely. About 5% of our clients are men — and that number is growing. The XFormer builds functional strength, core stability, and body awareness that transfers directly to every sport and activity. Surfers, golfers, runners, and weightlifters all find something here they can't get anywhere else. The shake doesn't discriminate.

Yes — the XFormer is low-impact and our instructors are trained to offer modifications. Always consult your physician first, and let your instructor know before class so they can support you.

If you are pregnant or postpartum and have been cleared by your doctor to exercise, Evolve is a wonderful low-impact option for staying strong. Please arrive a few minutes early to connect with your instructor and go over any modifications before class begins.

Stronger, leaner muscles. Better posture and balance. A deeper connection to your body and breath. Most clients notice they feel different within just a few classes — and the physical changes follow. Your total evolution starts here.

No experience necessary. Our instructors will get you set up on the XFormer and guide you through every movement. Body Smart is a great place to start if you want to learn the method at a slower pace — but Total Body is all levels too. Just show up.

Expect a structured, intentional 50-minute workout. Class begins with a short warm-up to get your heart moving, then works through your full body — core, legs, and upper body — with deliberate cardio bursts along the way, and closes with a cool down. Every client is invited to evolve their body and mind through movement and breath.

If it's hard, that's okay. Our instructors are there for you every step of the way and will offer modifications to meet you where you are. We keep our classes small on purpose — so our instructors have eyes on you and can support your form throughout. Show up, try anyway, and you'll leave feeling stronger, longer, and more energized. That's what keeps people coming back.

One class a week is a great start. Two classes a week is where you'll really find your groove. Three classes a week is where real change happens — in your strength, your posture, and the way you feel every day.

It comes straight from Joseph Pilates himself: 10 sessions to feel the difference, 20 sessions to see the difference, 30 sessions to have a brand new body. It's held up for over a century because it's true. One class gives you a taste. Ten classes changes how you feel. Twenty changes how you look. Thirty changes everything. Our intro packages are designed to get you started — the rest is showing up.

Your First Class

If this is your first class at Evolve, please arrive 10 minutes early so we can get you checked in, show you around, and walk you through the XFormer before class begins. First-time clients who arrive after class has started will not be able to join — we want to make sure you have the best possible experience from the very first movement.

Grip socks are required. Bring a water bottle. And get ready to feel stronger, longer, and more energized.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class. If you haven't checked in within 5 minutes of the start time, your spot may be given to a standby client. For the safety of everyone in class, late entry is not permitted after the 5-minute mark.

First time at Evolve? Please arrive 10 minutes early — see above.

We offer two intro packages for new clients: The Spark 3 — 3 classes for $60 — and The Ignite 5 — 5 classes for $99. Both expire two weeks from your first class. They're designed to give you enough time on the XFormer to find your groove before deciding on a membership. New clients only.

Comfortable workout clothes you can move freely in. Grip socks are required — bring your own or grab a pair in the studio. We carry Tavi and Pilates Honey so you're always covered. Be careful of zippers, they can rip the pads on our equipment and make you a bit uncomfortable if in the wrong place

Grip socks are required for your safety and to keep the studio clean. Don't have a pair? We carry Tavi and Pilates Honey in the studio. For more variety, Amazon is a great resource.

We ask that you put your phone away for class — no calls, texts, photos, or recording during the 50 minutes. This time is for you.

However, we love seeing you on social — photos and videos before and after class are always encouraged!

Yes — smartwatches and devices are welcome during class. We just ask that you keep your phone put away for the full 50 minutes. This time is for you.

Yes — download the Evolve Modern Pilates app on the App Store or Google Play. It's the easiest way to book classes, manage your account, and stay up to date on the schedule. Most of our clients use it as their primary booking tool.

Plans change — we get it. Just cancel at least 12 hours before class through the Evolve App or at evolvemodernpilates.com and your credit will be returned to your account.

Our policy exists to respect everyone who wants to get into class and to keep you accountable to your goals — two things we take seriously around here.

If a class is full, join the waitlist — you'll be notified if a spot opens up. This can happen a day in advance or minutes before class starts, so keep an eye out.

The waitlist autofills up until 2 hours before class. Once you're added, the standard cancellation policy applies. If you're also on the waitlist for another class on the same day, make sure to cancel your reserved class at least 12 hours out or remove yourself from the waitlist before the 2-hour cutoff — this can happen overnight, so plan ahead.

An active credit card is required to reserve and attend class. If any fees or balances go unpaid, your account may be suspended and upcoming reservations canceled until everything is settled.

Monthly memberships automatically renew every 30 days and do not roll over — classes are use them or lose them within your billing cycle. Each membership has a 3-month minimum commitment.

Class overage options vary by membership — see the membership page for details. Unlimited memberships can book one class per day.

To cancel, email us at hello@evolvemodernpilates.com with 14 business days notice prior to your renewal date. To freeze your membership, reach out to us directly — members may freeze once per year for a minimum of one month.

Yes — private and duet sessions are available. Email us at hello@evolvemodernpilates.com for details and availability.

Instructors and class times are subject to change — check the schedule for the latest. If a class ever has two or fewer clients signed up, we may cancel and ask you to book at a different time.

The safety of our clients and instructors always comes first. If severe weather makes travel unsafe, we may close the studio and cancel classes — you'll be notified by text and email, and your class credit will be returned to your account.

If you can't make it due to weather or road conditions, cancel your reservation as soon as possible and reach out to us so we can waive the late cancel fee.

Clients must be at least 16 years old to take class at Evolve. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign your waiver before your first class. Please reach out to us after creating your account and we'll get you set up.

For safety and security reasons, we use encrypted security cameras within our facilities.
