Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book my first session?
Fill out the Get Started form, and we will contact you to find a convenient time to talk by phone. During this consultation, we will answer any questions you may have about Quantum Movement Studio and schedule your first session.
All new QMS clients start with one 80-minute Introductory Private session. After the Introductory session, subsequent Private and Semi-private sessions are 50 minutes.
What should I expect during my first session?
The Introductory Private session is 80 minutes. Your session will be with Shelly, the Owner of Quantum Movement Studio, and will include several things.
First, you will fill out a little paperwork and have a 15-20 minute discussion. Be prepared to discuss your fitness goals and any health issues you’ve experienced. If you have recently had surgery or been released from PT, please be prepared to share their contact information as Shelly might want to speak with them.
Next, you will complete a 50-minute Pilates or GYROTONIC® session. If you are a beginner, Shelly will introduce the foundational principals of Pilates or Gyrotonic. If you are a seasoned practitioner, she will assess your level.
Finally, to wrap up your Introductory session, you will discuss the options for types of sessions, teachers, and dates and times, and Shelly will schedule your next appointments.
Come with an open mind and expect to have FUN!!!
What should I expect after my first session?
After the 80-minute Introductory Private session, subsequent Private and Semi-private sessions are 50 minutes.
Standing appointments are encouraged going forward after the Introductory session. For most QMS clients, standing appointments will be one, two or three times a week on the same day/time. This makes getting into the routine and practice of Pilates or Gyrotonic much easier. During the Introductory Private session, you will discuss what makes the most sense given your goals, schedule and commitment level.
For your ongoing practice, there are other options available in addition to Private Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions. These include Pilates Semi-private sessions for 2-3 people with similar experience, GYROKINESIS® classes for up to 4 people, and virtual sessions.
What should I wear/bring?
Wear comfortable clothing that is not too baggy. Yoga clothes work well for women. For men, athletic shorts with compression shorts, and T-shirt are common.
Bring socks! Any kind will work, but socks with sticky soles are best. Toe socks also work well.
Quantum Movement Studio has a changing room which you can use before and/or after your session.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive on time, no need to come early.
What if I need to cancel?
24-hour notice of cancellation is required for all sessions.
Do you have parking available?
Yes, the parking lot directly in front of the studio is available for the client’s convenience.
