What class should I start with?

They’re all fun and challenging! We suggest you start with a class that best meets your fitness goals. We have many talented, well educated instructors to help guide you.

FOR ALL CLASSES – start with intro or fundamental, even if you have been practicing for awhile. This allows us to assess your needs and lets you get familiar with Twisted Bodies and our style of teaching.

  • Pilates Mat – each class begins with a warm-up incorporating the basic principles of Pilates. The class flow of exercises moves you through each plane of movement, including mobilization and stability of the spine. Modifications are offered in every class and props are available. Class levels range from fundamental to experienced.

  • Pilates Reformer – great for those needing a little extra stability. The reformer is a prop and prepares you for matwork. Class levels range from fundamental to experienced.

  • Yoga – it’s not just for the flexible! Our yoga classes foucs on alignment and active flexibilty. We welcome all abilities and offer modifications and props throughout class to help you feel the most successful version of yourself.

  • Pole – open to all genders and abilities. Each class begins with an invigorating warm-up followed up with dynamic movement sequences, tricks and maybe even a few inverts (based on class level). Class levels range from intro to experienced.

  • Total Barre – a great high intensity, low impact cardio workout. Our instructors offer modifications throughout each class making it perfect for all fitness levels.

What should I wear?

  • Form fitted workout attire is best but please wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Fitted attire allows us to better see your alignment and make corrections as necessary.

  • Pole - shorts and a tank top or sports bra. More skin allows for better contact and grip to the pole.

  • FOR ALL CLASSES - dress in layers, especially for Pole and Aerial. Warm-ups will consist of across the floor movement so socks, pants, long sleeves, are a necessity. YES, EVEN IN THE DEATH OF TEXAS SUMMER HEAT!

Make sure to arrive in the lobby 10 – 15 minutes before your class start time.  For safety reasons, we do not allow late entrance to classes for any reason. You will not receive a refund if you are late for class.

Entering late is unsafe for you, the class, the instructor and is extremely disruptive.
