When should I arrive to class?
If it’s your first class arrive about 15 minutes early so that we can give you a tour of the studio and get you familiar with the machines and equipment.
Will I be allowed into class if I’m late?
Life happens and we can all relate to being late. Please call the front desk and let them know how late you’ll be and they will inform the instructor to hold your machine.
Where do I park?
There’s free parking in the City Parking Structure behind Grit and Gratitude.
What do I need for class?
Bring your grip socks, water bottle and an attitude of gratitude.
Is this Pilates?
We use pilates reformers and a lot of our instructors are classically trained, but Grit & Gratitude is NOT classical pilates. Our workouts are fitness inspired, blended with pilates, yoga and meditation practices to get you out of your head and back into your body. We focus each class on building strength, balance, flexibility, cardio, coordination and endurance.
Can I take classes if I’m pregnant?
Yes! We require a signed doctor’s note and our teachers will offer modifications as needed.
How does the Power Plate work?
Engineered precisely to apply the body’s natural reflexive response to vibration, Power Plate technology uses a vibrating platform which moves 25 to 50 times per second. This results in corresponding muscle activation throughout the whole kinetic chain. The vibrations are harmonic, which are safe, consistent and controlled levels of vibration, moving in three directions (up and down, forwards and backwards and side to side).
What is your Late Cancel Policy?
We have a 8-hour cancellation policy. There will be a charge of $15 for late cancellations after that time if you have an unlimited package, otherwise, you will lose your class session. If you “no show” for a class there will be a charge of $20. These fees are applicable to all memberships.
Will using the Power Plate help me lose weight?
Significant weight loss is often reported by those who use Power Plate regularly in conjunction with a healthy diet. One of the reasons for this is increased lymphatic flow and associated removal of biological waste, and retained fluid. Research shows, when used as part of an active lifestyle, Power Plate may have a significant impact upon the reduction of body fat. This may occur due to increases in metabolism both during and following exercise.
