  • If it's your first time to Shell Shape or Pilates, we offer new clients a private session at a discounted price for $75. That way we can show you around the studio so you know where everything is, get you familiar will all the equipment, as well as assess your ability to join in any of our group sessions. If you are interested, please contact us and we will get you set up!

  • You can book your class through Mindbody or our website. You will need to set up an account with Mindbody if you don't already have one.

  • A water bottle and grippy socks if you have them. While grippy socks are highly recommended, we do not require them. We do have some cute ones for purchase at the studio if you are interested. :)

  • No. We provide extra thick, super supportive mats for you at no additional charge.

  • Yes! Tennis shoes are a must so you have that extra foot and ankle support you need while jumping.

  • We have ample free parking in front of the studio.

  • Pilates is a great practice to have during your pregnancy! It will help increase or maintain your flexibility, strength, and muscle tone to help with labor and delivery.

    We will provide special props and modifications for you. Please consult your doctor before attending a class.

  • Jump and dance cardio are 45mins long, all other classes are 50mins.

  • We do not offer memberships at this time. We are a very small boutique studio but hope to expand and offer them in the future! Stay tuned. :)

  • If a class you would like to take is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist. Please be prepared to come to class if you are on the waitlist. If a spot opens up 24hours before class, you will automatically be added to that class and sent a confirmation email or text depending upon your notification preferences. If you do not get a spot in the class, the session will be returned to your account (for packages or drop-ins). Please log into your account to check your waitlist status. Once logged into your account, Click "My Schedule" to check your waitlist status.

  • Grab your water bottle and park out front! Our classes are pretty back-to-back, so only arrive a couple of minutes before class. Your instructor will show you where to put your things. Please let your instructor know of any injuries or limitations you have.

  • If you need to cancel or change your appointment or class, please do so 24 hours before your class starts or you will be charged in full for the missed session. We are a small studio with only 4 reformers, please be respectful and cancel your session if you know you won't be able to attend. That way someone who is on the waitlist can join the class!
