Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pilates at Kôr Haus?
Pilates is a full-body exercise created by Joseph Pilates to improve strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness — all with a focus on your core (what we call the “kôr” of the body). It’s low-impact but highly effective, using controlled movements to work your muscles without putting strain on your joints.
At Kör Haus, we teach Pilates with a modern intensity boost. That means you’ll get the proven benefits of classical Pilates, mixed with good music, paired with a little extra variety to keep things fresh and effective. Some may call this Contemporary.
Our studio features:
- Reformers – These are sliding carriage machines with springs for adjustable resistance. They’re incredibly versatile, letting us target every muscle group in endless ways.
- Springboards (like “towers”) – Wall-mounted spring systems that add resistance and stability challenges to your workout. Perfect for upper-body, lower-body, and core exercises.
Are you teaching classical or contemporary Pilates?
We like to keep things real — debating styles isn’t really our vibe. 🧘 At Kôr Haus, we blend the best of classical Pilates with modern cues and variety, giving you an experience that’s effective, challenging, and fun.
The best way to see what we’re all about? Come check us out for yourself — feel the difference on the reformer and springboard, and decide what works for your body.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, fitted workout clothes that allow you to move freely. Avoid anything too loose that might catch on the springs or straps.
Grip socks are not required, but strongly recommended for safety and hygiene purposes. We have them for sale at the studio if you need a pair.
Can I come if I'm pregnant?
Absolutely! We offer Pre/Post Natal classes (Baby & Me) designed specifically for moms-to-be and new mothers. Just get your doctor's clearance first. Note: Disco Hour is not appropriate after your first trimester.
What's the class size?
Classes are capped at 8 people, so you'll never feel lost in the crowd. You'll get individualized attention while still enjoying the energy of a group.
Do you have an app?
Yes! You can manage your account, book classes, purchase a mmbership, and more!
Where do I park?
here is two-hour street parking right on Lowell Boulevard. Plus two dedicated spots off the alley behind the building—first-come, first-served.
Will I get sore?
Maybe! Pilates works muscles you didn’t even know you had. You may feel a deep, satisfying soreness after your first few classes — that’s your body getting stronger and more connected. But trust us, you’ll see results with consistent practice.
How often should I do Pilates?
Two to three times a week is ideal for building strength and seeing results. Even once a week will help improve mobility and posture.
Is Pilates for men, too?
Yes — absolutely! Pilates is for anyone who wants to move better, build strength, improve posture, and increase flexibility. Many men love reformer and springboard work because it develops functional strength, core stability, and balance without bulky or high-impact movements.
At Kör Haus, we tailor instruction to each individual, so you’ll get a challenging and effective workout regardless of your experience or fitness level.
Men often notice improvements in sports performance, posture, and overall athleticism after just a few classes.
I’m new — where should I start?
If you’ve never done Pilates on the reformer, we highly recommend starting with our Kôr Foundations Private Package — 3 one-on-one sessions designed to teach you the ropes, help you feel comfortable with the equipment, and set you up for success.
Whether you’ve done Pilates before and feel comfortable on a reformer or not, we suggest you take Kôr Foundations as your first group class. Take it as many times as you like — it’s the perfect way to learn our style, cues, and flow. When you’re ready for a faster pace, try Re l Form, an all-levels class that keeps things moving. (It’s not designed for someone brand-new… so maybe skip it for your very first class. 😉)
Another great option for new clients is our Kôr Starter Pack — 3 classes for $50 — so you can sample the studio and see what you love most.
