Temporary Studio Closure, 2021 Classes and Christmas Break
Thank-you all for the continued support of Pilates EQ both in-studio and virtually. We appreciate your encouraging words, your flexibility with changing with COVID 19 restrictions and your willingness to support us in any way you can.
Temporary Studio closure:
In accordance with the most recent COVID 19 guidelines announced , our studio will be closed for all in- person sessions, as of Sun. Dec 13. This will be a four week closure with the studio scheduled to re-open on Mon. Jan. 11. We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you informed as we obtain any new information.
Private and Duet Session Update:
We will continue to have in person private sessions and duets from the same household, once we are allowed to re-open Jan 11.
Virtual Group Class Update:
Our current session of virtual classes ends on Sat. Dec 19th (except for our Charity classes- please see below). Registration for VIRTUAL GROUP classes for 2021 will start today. The new session will be for 6 weeks: Mon. Jan 4th to Sat. Feb 13th. Please see the separate section below for the details and links.
In Person Group Class Update:
Once our temporary closure is complete in January, we expect not be allowed to hold in person group classes for our full regular winter session and the foreseeable future. After hearing information from an earlier virtual town-hall meeting with Dr. Hinshaw, she indicated that while individual studios may have excellent protocols, AHS doesn't have the manpower to monitor all fitness facilities. AHS recognizes that transmission has occurred in some facilities when people are coming and going from a group fitness class. Therefore AHS is stipulating no group fitness classes to limit the risks of groups of people gathering. So we are currently planning for a way to offer assisted individual equipment training to our equipment class clients
NEW Alternative to Group Equipment Classes! "Personal Pilates Practice":
We are looking to introduce "Personal Pilates Practice" times in January that would allow a small number of people to be in our space using the equipment independently. It would not be a lead group class but rather you will follow a basic program of exercises at your own speed and level that is supervised by an instructor. People would be spaced out in their arrival times to minimize pre and post gatherings, and work on a program that can be personalized through private sessions. It will be an evolution of our current open space concept. We have been brainstorming to come up with a safe way to keep everyone moving!
We will be contacting our existing equipment clients with more details in early January. Privates times will be available once our temporary closure is complete to help people familiarize themselves with the programs and make a few personal adjustments as well. We are excited to see how this unfolds! If you were not currently taking equipment classes from us, email us to let us know your interest and we can keep you informed.
