Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions!
01
Why do you teach classes virtually and not in-person at Aurora?
We use screens/virtual classes to ensure that every single class has been meticulously designed to deliver superior results. The order of the exercises, the cues, the demonstrations, the close-up footage, and the text have all been produced with thoughtfulness and 17 years of professional experience. In- studio screens allow you to hear every cue and see a demo of every exercise effortlessly for an unparalleled experience. We use technology to elevate your experience.
02
Who will correct me?
We train our staff to correct your alignment and make sure that you are performing the exercises safely and effectively. They are also there to answer questions, concerns, and make you feel welcome.
03
What should I wear?
Any workout wear is perfect. For alignment corrections, fitted clothing is best. If you prefer to wear socks, grip socks are required. Otherwise, bare feet are fine. We sell grip socks at the studio.
04
How many times a week should I come?
That depends on you. We have seen clients get results in as little as one workout a week. If you like a daily practice, every day works too. Whatever fits your time, energy and budget is great.

The reformer is a dynamic and versatile Pilates machine that strengthens and mobilizes the body from head to toe.
