Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQsHow do I book a class at The Pilates Theory in Pleasanton?
You book through their Mindbody page at https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/mainclass. You can also call (510) 304-3175. The intro offer is a 3-class pack for $60, which is a good way to start before committing to a membership.
Do I need prior Pilates experience to join a class?
No prior experience is needed. They welcome complete beginners and offer modifications and progressions within the same class. If you're brand new, the $60 introductory 3-class pack is a great way to start. Class sizes are capped at 7 to 8 clients, so you'll get real attention.
Is reformer Pilates safe if I'm recovering from neck, hip, or knee surgery?
That is a question for your surgeon or physician, not a studio. What the studio does say is that its instructors are trained to work with injury histories and modify movements for your stage of recovery, that reformer work is low impact, and that classes are capped at 7 to 8 people. Get cleared first, then tell the instructor your history.
What's the difference between reformer and mat Pilates here?
Mat Pilates uses body weight and gravity, while reformer Pilates uses a sliding carriage and adjustable springs for resistance. At The Pilates Theory, every class uses premium Balanced Body reformers, which support alignment and let instructors correct form in real time.
Do you offer classes for teenagers or student athletes?
Yes, there's a dedicated Pilates for Teens program. It focuses on core stability, postural correction for screen-time habits, and injury prevention for student athletes. It uses the same Balanced Body reformers and expert instruction, adapted to be age-appropriate.
Is Red Light Therapy available at the Pleasanton location?
No, Red Light Therapy is only at the Danville studio on Railroad Ave. It's not offered at the Pleasanton location on Santa Rita Rd. The studio describes it as a recovery tool that uses specific wavelengths of light.
