XFormer is the next-generation of the Pilates reformer machine that is used at san studio. The XFormer is designed with high-end finishes specifically custom-made for san, offering increased resistance and intensity in a dynamic and challenging way. It is an upgrade to the traditional Pilates Reformer machine, with additional features and attachments. The XFormer Pilates machine helps engage core muscles through every movement, making it highly effective for developing core strength, improving posture, toning the entire body, enhancing balance, and preventing injuries. It provides a low-impact workout that creates visible results without adding excess bulk. At san studio, we exclusively feature XFormer machines for our integrated workouts.

Please arrive 15 minutes early for an introductory session with your instructor to familiarize yourself with the XFormer and discuss any injuries or modifications that may be necessary for your workout. If you haven't already created an account, please allow time to do so or you can set it up prior through our website or app.

Due to the limited number of spaces in each class, we ask that you please cancel within 8 hours of the class start time, otherwise a loss of class credit and a penalty fee will be applied.

Out of respect to fellow students, if you do not arrive within 6 minutes of the scheduled class start time, your space may be given to someone on the waitlist and you will lose a credit and incur a penalty fee.

We understand things come up, so as a courtesy we will extend a one time forgiveness for a no show or late cancel.

We recommend bringing a water bottle that can be filled or refilled at our water station to keep yourself hydrated during your workout. For attire, we suggest wearing breathable and form-fitting clothing that allows for mobility and flexibility.

For safety and stability, we require all clients to wear grip socks during their workout. If you don't have your own pair, we have a selection of high-quality grip socks available for purchase at our studio.

San strength and sculpt classes are designed to work your body muscles to fatigue. Therefore, you will ideally take one day in between to rest and recover. In general, we recommend taking classes three times a week to allow your body proper recovery time. However, some students love the workout so much that they come in as many as four times a week. The key is to listen to your body and to find a routine that works best for you.

Our san stretch classes are suitable to take every day and are a great option for recovery on the same day or in-between a strength or stretch class.
