Meet your
newest obsession.

Welcome! We can’t wait to meet you. Sign up for your first class here, view our schedule and register through our secure, online system. If you’re brand new to Pilates, we kindly request that you book a Foundation Reformer class so that we can guide you through basic Pilates moves and equipment management. To save time at the studio, print out and fill out the waiver here. 

Yes! In addition to in-studio classes, we also offer private, semi private and group reformer classes (max 6 clients). Virtual classes are offered regularly throughout the week. See our schedule for our most up-to-date offerings.

Private sessions are an effective, personalized way to both build a strong Pilates foundation and further progress your workout (that’s right – there’s no such thing as “plateuing” in Pilates). To book a private session, click here.

We are located at 681 Falmouth Road in Mashpee MA. We are in Deer Crossing, above Harper Dance Center. Turn on to Charles Way. Go up past ACE Hardware and turn left into the Deer Crossing UPPER AREA. Drive all the way down, it's the last building on the left and look for our studio47 signage. Park (there are plenty of spaces!) and enter through the glass door of the building, follow the hallway around the corner, and we are on your right.

We want our clients to be comfortable and able to move, but you also want your instructor to be able to see your form and movements. We recommend wearing longer pants for ease of movement, dressing in layers as you will warm up and cool down throughout your sessions, and a comfortable top. Your clothes do not need to be tight, but please avoid baggy and bulky garments. Socks are required for all clients, at all times (we sell grippy socks at the studio if you forget yours). For men, if you choose to wear shorts, please wear compression shorts underneath.

Just bring yourself and your Pilates/Barre socks, signed waiver and water. We provide a private changing area if needed and cubbies and hooks for your personal belongings. Someone from our friendly staff will great you with a smile and give you a tour of the studio. We have bottled water available for $1 and we also have grippy socks available for purchase if you forget yours.

*Please do not bring any personal belongings - outside of clothing or water - into the actual studio. Read our studio policies here.

Plan on showing up 5-10 minutes before class starts so you can fill out a waiver (if you didn’t print it out), get a quick tour, and get yourself settled. Your equipment will be waiting for you. Your instructor will guide you through a series of exercises and will provide modifications as needed. Take a deep breath, get yourself settled and prepare to focus on just YOU for the next hour or so— WELCOME!

Pilates is a physical and mental fitness program developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. Using proper body mechanics, controlled movements, pelvic stabilization, and coordinated breathing, Pilates focuses on flexibility and strength to create a balance in the body. By correcting posture, Pilates can strengthen your body against future injuries. Because Pilates focuses on the connection between the mind and body, it also offers meditative benefits - increased energy, improved concentration and better coordination.

While Pilates mat classes (currently offered virtually due to Covid-19) and Pilates equipment sessions provide similar benefits, it is generally best to combine both in your Pilates practice. The trick to Pilates is creating resistance in your own body, you can accomplish this in Pilates using either a mat, where your own body weight creates resistance, or a reformer, where pulleys and springs create resistance for you. The Pilates equipment perfectly aligns your body while you’re working out and adds resistance to all of your exercises, while the Mat classes challenge you because you are responsible for maintaining the Pilates form and alignment on your own. And because Pilates is all about the quality of the movement over the quantity of reps, we find the most connections are made by combining both mat and equipment throughout your practice.

Like anything, consistency is key and at studio47 Pilates we say CONSISTENCY = RESULTS! Pilates should be practiced 2-3 times per week at least (but you are able to practice Pilates all week long). We recommend taking a variety of classes, including Equipment and Mat and working with a variety of instructors to find the best combination for you and your body.

Every age, gender and body type can and will benefit from Pilates. Pilates emphasizes form and alignment. The movements are performed precisely, in a smooth, slow, controlled way, and are coordinated with specific breathing patterns. The exercises work the muscles efficiently, so each movement is repeated only a few times. Pilates is also progressive and adaptable. Everyone starts out learning the basics - the movements, alignment, breathing, concentration, and flow - essential to Pilates. Then specific exercises are added according to individual needs, abilities and limitations.

Pilates is known for building strength using low-impact movements that are easy on the joints (but don’t get it twisted, you *will* be sore afterwards). The Pilates workout targets every muscle group, but it’s most well-known for building core strength — which will lead to better posture and alignment, better balance, and increased stability. Pilates also lengthens your muscles to improve your flexibility (if you haven’t been able to touch your toes for years, that’s about to change). In addition to strength, studio47 offers unique Pilates classes that emphasize cardio, like our signature CARDIO Reformer class, which utilizes a jumpboard to increase your heart rate. Whatever benefit you’re looking to get out of your workout, studio47 Pilates can help.
