Your first reformer Pilates class in Newport Beach
New to the reformer? You’re in the right place. Your first class at Habit Pilates is a 50-minute, all-levels Habit Classic with modifications for every move and an expert instructor by your side the whole time. Here’s what to expect.
Do I need Pilates experience to take a reformer class?
No. Every class at Habit is all levels. Each one includes modifications and challenges, so you can dial it up or down, and your instructor is with you the whole way. Just let them know it’s your first class.
What happens in a Habit Classic class?
Habit Classic is our signature contemporary reformer class. It’s athletic, fast-paced and low-impact, with a balanced full-body burn. Every class starts with a focused warm-up and ends with a cool-down stretch, and no two classes are exactly the same.
How long is a reformer Pilates class?
50 minutes, including the warm-up and cool-down stretch.
How big are the classes?
Each class has 10 spots, so your instructor can actually see you and help with your form.
When should I arrive for my first class?
Arriving 10 minutes early is required for your first class — we’ll check you in, show you around the studio and get you comfortable on the reformer. After that, 5–10 minutes early is plenty.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear athletic clothing, and bring water. Grip socks or bare feet — your call.
Will I be sore after my first class?
Probably a little, in the best way. Reformer work reaches muscles you may not use every day. Clients say things like “my legs are still shaking!!”, so take it at your pace and use the modifications.
How do I book my first class?
Book on our class schedule or in the Habit Pilates app. New clients can start with 2 classes for $35, or 2 weeks unlimited for $79.
Where is Habit Pilates, and where do I park?
We’re at 3136 W Balboa Blvd., Newport Beach, CA 92663, one block from the beach. We share a lot with Pavilions, so there’s lots of free parking right outside. Get directions.
