What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates focuses on the mind/body connection as well as breathing practices. It improves core strength, overall body strength, flexibility, mobility, and can help with back pain as well as improved posture. Consistency is key. Joseph Pilates created the method to be a low impact exercise that is safe and effective for everyone no matter gender or age. If you have never worked out on a Pilates Reformer, we recommend 1-4 private sessions before attending group reformer to become familiar with the piece of equipment.
Will you focus more on Reformer Pilates or Barre?
Pilates Barre Lex specializes in Reformer Pilates, with a side of Barre. Our main focus is training our clients in the Pilates method. But, we will offer a FUSION class on occasion that incorporates Barre movements towards the end of class.
Will there be a class for everyone?
YES! We will offer a variety of classes to suit your needs—from a Principles class all the way to Strengthen & Tone. If you don’t know which class will suit you, Hannah will be able to give you guidance and a recommendation.
If you’ve never done Reformer Pilates, we do recommend taking a Private class OR joining the Principles Group class FIRST.
Do I have to be flexible to do Pilates?
You do NOT have to be flexible to start. This is a common misconception! Instead, start right where you are! Reformer Pilates is a low-impact, full-body workout with extensive benefits, one of which is improved flexibility. We can’t wait to meet you where you are in your Pilates journey!
How big is the studio?
The studio is equipped with SEVEN brand new, top-of-the-line Merrithew (STOTT) SPXmax reformers. They are amazing!

Preparing for class-
What do I wear?
Athletic wear that makes you feel comfortable and that you can move in! You can workout barefoot or in socks. If you prefer socks, they need to be grippy socks. Amazon has some great options—simply search "Pilates Grippy Socks."
What do I bring?
A smile, your water bottle (we will have a refill station), and a change of clothes if needed. There is no shower, so bring a sweat towel if desired; however, we do have a bathroom if you would like to change on premises. Masks are optional, but if it makes you feel more comfortable you are more than welcome to wear one.
When do I arrive?
If it is your first session, please arrive 10 minutes early to become familiar with the studio. When attending a regularly scheduled Private session or Group reformer please arrive 5-10 minutes early. Please call or text (859) 361-0572 if you have any trouble finding the studio.
