What expert instruction feels like

Whether you’re new to Reformer Pilates or an experienced practitioner, our instructors tailor every session to you:

  • They know your name and your goals. Our classes are small — seven reformers at our Shams Boutik studio — so your instructor can watch, correct and encourage every client.
  • They adapt, not just demonstrate. Tell us about injuries, pain or pregnancy (with your doctor’s approval) and your instructor will modify the work so you can train safely.
  • They help you progress. Ask for feedback any time; your instructor will tell you when you’re ready for the next level.

Our classes cater to every fitness level, including exclusive ladies-only sessions designed to create a comfortable, empowering atmosphere. Combined with our Merrithew® reformers and expert guidance, you’ll be well on your way to better strength, flexibility and overall health.
