Allegro Reformer Class

If you are looking for the perfect complement to your aerobic program, try Pilates Allegro Reformer. In this small group class you will be guided through a series of controlled exercises that are specifically tailored to your level of ability. Each student will work on a reformer, a special apparatus that allows for full range of motion with increasing levels of difficulty. This amazing program will help you to attain a higher level of balance in your exercise program as you simultaneously strengthen and stretch your entire body, ultimately helping you develop greater strength, improved balance, ease of motion, and bone density.

Pilates Allegro classes meet for one hour, twice a week. Participation is limited to ten students per class and the cost is $137.50 for four classes and $200 for eight classes. To reserve your Allegro Reformer, contact our Pilates & Beyond director at 415.901.9368 or pilates@sfbayclub.com, Or Sign up on Xpiron.

Call 415.901.9368 or send an email to pilates@sfbayclub.com to reserve your Allegro Reformer today. Sign ups are also available on Xpiron.

Pilates Mat Classes

Our one-hour Pilates mat classes will help you improve posture and develop core control, which is the ability to move effectively and efficiently by transmitting force from the body's center through the torso and limbs. Pilates-evolved mat exercises coordinate diaphragmatic breathing with properly sequenced co-contractions of the deep abdominal, pelvic floor, and spinal musculature. The exercises emphasize precise alignment and efficient sequencing of movement. There are countless different movement phrases, which are performed seated, standing, on all fours, or lying on your back, side, or front.

Pilates mat classes are open to all members on a drop-in basis at no cost. Check our Class Schedule for days and times.

Roller & Ring Classes

Improve your coordination, standing alignment, and balance in these one-hour classes, which integrate principles of core control with spine mobility. Each participant uses a foam roller and a Pilates resistance ring to develop efficient movement strategies in all positions—from lying on their back on the roller to standing on the roller. Roller and ring classes are open to all members on a drop-in basis at no cost. Check our Class Schedule for days and times.
