We opened Renew Pilates together in 2011 because we believe that a sound, strong body is paramount to living a better life. We provide quality, hands-on instruction in a friendly, professional environment. We pride ourselves on our eye for detail in movement and alignment, and we understand that every body has its own story and unique needs. We connect regularly to discuss the progress of our students and we work together to develop programs and classes that will benefit each student. It is our priority to give everyone the attention they deserve. Welcome to our studio. We can’t wait to meet you!

All students interested in private lessons or group apparatus instruction are required to have an hour-long assessment and consultation. This first private lesson will consist of a postural assessment, movement analysis, and health history, and it will give you a chance to meet Lindsay or Nicole.
This first lesson will act as a springboard for action; Together we will gain a sense of your body’s needs and your personal goals, and we will work together to find the path best for you. We may even send you home with something to practice until your next lesson/class.
After your assessment we’ll plan a lesson and/or class schedule that is sustainable and reasonable for your life.
Assessment cost is $150
Private lessons are for the student who wants or needs to work one-on-one. You will practice a program that has been hand-crafted for your specific needs and goals.
We can work with two students who have similar needs in a semi-private setting. If you are interested in finding a lesson partner or if you and a friend are interested in working out together, let us know!
After you have shown to be masterful with a specific program, we may encourage you to practice independently from a teacher. You’ll have a program developed just for you that will be adjusted and modified during a private lesson at time intervals determined by your teacher. Workout times are pre-scheduled during available openings throughout the week.
All of our group classes are reservation only and are intended for healthy, non-injured bodies. We do not allow drop-in attendance because we develop our class plans specifically for the students attending class.
Classes are held Monday-Friday. View our class schedule.
We offer the following options for group classes:
Mat class is designed for all levels. Here you will learn the pilates fundamentals while practicing whole-body exercises that challenge you physically and intellectually. Each class which will deepen your understanding of breath, natural spinal alignment, and control of movement. We require any students interested in joining our beginner apparatus classes to start with mat work. This class is also an excellent way to reset your body from your long week and to draw your focus back into your center. You will leave you feeling organized and refreshed!
Students interested in reformer 1 classes must have instructor permission prior to joining. You will learn the fundamental reformer exercises which utilize the spring-loaded resistance and assistance of the pilates reformer. We highly encourage all reformer 1 students to attend weekly mat classes in order to gain a solid understanding of their body alignment and basic understanding of pilates principles. A strong mat foundation is integral to understanding reformer work and reformer work informs mat work, so it is ideal to practice both!
This Intermediate level class builds on the fundamental reformer exercises with more challenging sequences and at a faster pace. Be prepared to work hard and stay focused and to leave feeling strong, aligned, and ready to conquer the world.
The chair is the ultimate apparatus of control, coordination, and alignment. You’ll rarely be lying on your back in this class and you’ll get plenty of work throughout your entire body. The small surface area of the chair will challenge you from start to finish, requiring you to dig deep and stay focused.
We are currently teaching at full-capacity in our studio and are only accepting new students for online group classes at this time.
All inquiries for in person lessons/group classes/and assessments will be placed on a waitlist. We will reach out to you as soon as openings become available.
Thank you for your interest and for your patience.
