START WITH INITIATE — YOUR FREE INTRO CLASS

New to Pilates—or just new to us? You’re in the right place.

This page is here to help you get started, know what to expect, and feel confident walking into our studio for the first time.

At Shift, we believe in doing the work. We believe in starting where you are, tuning in, and trusting the process. Every big change starts with one small shift—and we’d be honored to be part of yours.

INITIATE is a 45-minute full-body experience for anyone who’s never been on Pilates equipment before—or just wants a fresh start.

You’ll practice movements on the Reformer and Tower, get a feel for our space and instructors, and see if Shift is the right fit for you.

Even if you’ve done Pilates before, this class is the place to begin. From here, you’ll move into ACTIVATE to build a strong foundation in the core principles of Pilates.

"I was nervous to try Pilates again after a bad experience somewhere else. But Shift felt different—calm, welcoming, and truly supportive. The INITIATE class helped me feel safe, seen, and actually excited to come back."

— Kristyn P., New Client

WHAT TO EXPECT IN INITIATE:

  • Move at a pace that meets you where you are
  • Try out the equipment with guidance and support
  • Learn simple, clear movements that build real strength
  • Get to know our instructors + vibe
  • Leave feeling grounded, capable, and curious for what’s next

OUR CLASS PATH:

We don’t believe in shortcuts—just steady, supported progress.

Here’s how we move and our classes progress:
INITIATE → ACTIVATE → COORDINATE → INTEGRATE

Each class builds on the last. You’ll start slow, learn the basics, and gain strength and control as you move forward.

This isn’t a race. It’s a return—to your body, your strength, your rhythm.
