We have separated our reformers to over 6 feet apart, added plastic separations, and are requiring masks and temperature checks to enter the clinic. Right now we are only offering Saturday morning classes at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30, but we also have some private 45 min sessions available during the week with Matt! ... You can register for classes on our website under services/pilates. Call us for information about privates with Matt during the week!
