View all FAQsDo I need a private session before joining group reformer classes at Joyful Movement?
Yes. Joyful Movement requires a private session before you can register for group reformer classes, and privates also cover pre-natal and post-natal work, so budget for that first booking.
Why do two prices circulate for the group reformer class?
Two prices are floating around for group reformer, $42 per person and $45 per class, so confirm which applies before you pay. Payment covers the whole month rather than a single drop in, and pre-registration is required for every class, which means a place is only yours once you have signed up ahead of the day rather than turning up hoping for a spare reformer.
Is the 5 session private package cheaper than booking privates one at a time?
Yes. Privates run $115 each, while a 5-session package is $525, so the block saves money if you already know you want the follow up sessions. New clients can also take 20% off a first session with the code FIRSTMOVE20.
Is anything on the schedule besides Pilates?
Saturdays add a Qi Gong class at 10am, and the movement classes blend Pilates, Feldenkrais and Yoga.
Can I train with Joyful Movement online?
Online classes run on a monthly unlimited membership at $125, or $350 covers 3 months of the same access, which is only the cheaper route if you keep going through the full 3 months.
What is a bodywork session here?
Bodywork is booked separately from Pilates, 75 minutes for $140, and it sits alongside the reformer classes rather than replacing them.
How late in the evening can I train in Fairfax?
The studio keeps one window all week, 7:30am to 8:30pm, Sunday included, though every session still needs booking in advance through Acuity.
What should I expect on a first reformer class at Joyful Movement?
Arrive ten minutes early so an instructor can walk you through the setup. Group reformer classes are capped at 6 people, beginners are expected rather than tolerated, and the address is 735 Center Blvd Suite C in Fairfax, with (415) 309-3357 for anything you want to ask first.
