FAQ'S
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
IS THIS PILATES?
It is... and it isn't. While The Core Method and LabFormer utilize some elements of Pilates, this is a much higher intensity workout intertwining cardiovascular elements and focusing on strength & muscular endurance training.
IS THE CORE LAB FOR EVERYONE?
YES! Men and women of all fitness levels can benefit from training at TCL. The low impact nature of the LabFormer workout minimizes unnecessary stress on the joints and makes it perfect for those who may be rehabbing injuries. Don't get us wrong, the workout is nothing short of intense, so there will be an initial adjustment period, but stick with it and the results will speak for themselves.
SHOULD MY FIRST CLASS BE A PRIVATE SESSION?
There is no need to schedule a private lesson, unless of course you want to! As with anything new, there will be an adjustment period as you learn the lingo, but our instructors are trained to work with your ability level. The adaptability of the LabFormer is unparalleled, making it a workout that truly is for all fitness levels. Be patient, stay focused, and get ready to become addicted!
If you suffer from chronic back pain, painful joints, or a severe medical condition, we recommend an initial private lesson to assess your fitness level and prescribe modifications.
HOW DO I PURCHASE SESSIONS?
TCL utilizes Mariana Tek for purchases and booking. To purchase sessions, simply click any of the BOOK NOW or BUY NOW links on our website or download our app for super easy booking. All classes must be prepaid. NOTE: We do not accept cash.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I COME TO CLASS?
For best results, we recommend 2-3 classes a week. This will provide maximum benefit, while still allowing for proper rest and recovery. Those muscles need time to heal and rebuild!
HOW EARLY SHOULD I SHOW UP FOR CLASS?
Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your scheduled class. If it’s your first time at TCL, please arrive 10 minutes early. New Clients MUST arrive at least 5 minutes before class start or participation will be denied and class credits will not be refunded. This is to ensure safety and allow enough time for instructors to provide tutorials of equipment.
HOW LONG IS CLASS?
All classes are 50 minutes in duration.
WHERE WILL I PUT MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS?
There are cubbies in the studio for your belongings.
