Prepare for your first visit

What to complete before arriving, what to bring, and how to help your instructor teach the right session.

6 min readUpdated Jun 18, 2026

A smooth first visit depends on the account being ready before you arrive. The booking, intake, and check-in screens all use the same client profile, so complete the account steps once and keep them current.

  • Complete intake and waiver forms before arriving.
  • Wear clothing that lets your instructor see alignment and movement.
  • Bring grippy socks if you prefer them.
  • Arrive a few minutes early so check-in is calm.
  • Tell the instructor about pain, pregnancy, surgery, mobility limits, or anything that changed since intake.

No experience required

You do not need flexibility, prior Pilates experience, or a certain fitness level. The session should meet the body you have that day.
