Getting Started with Classes

JoyMoves offers over 3-dozen Pilates classes each week (see the Class Schedule). Classes are the most cost-effective way to do Pilates. Links to all our Pilates class types are on the right side of this page.

There are 2 Pilates classes at JoyMoves suitable for first-timers to Pilates. They are Mat/Tower classes (described on the Mat/Tower page) and JumpStart classes (described immediately below). Just call our front desk at 328-4440. We’ll help you figure out the best way to start. No matter which of these you start out with, please show up about 10 minutes before class on your very first visit.

Please fill out these New Client forms in advance. They take about 5 to 10 minutes.

JumpStart Pilates Classes

The first JumpStart class is free for those new to JoyMoves who live in Austin.

This class is for those new to Pilates or those who want to fine-tune their technique. Students learn Mat, Tower and Reformer exercises. It can also be a great transition class for the various Level 1 classes. If you take Level 1 classes, these JumpStart classes are still open to you and are quite beneficial. Classes are 45-minutes long and there’s a limit of 5 students per JumpStart class.

The JumpStart class is a pre-requisite for all other group Pilates classes at JoyMoves other than Mat/Tower – i.e. you must take a JumpStart class prior to taking a Reformer, Circuit, Half & Half or Trainer’s Choice class. There is no pre-requisite for Mat/Tower Level 1 classes.

After your first JumpStart class, the instructor will either approve you enter a Pilates Group Reformer class or, more often, require you to take some number of JumpStart classes. Occasionally, a teacher may tell you that you have special health considerations which require you to take Private sessions, rather than classes. Please note that the JumpStart class is not for those who have done Privates or Duets at JoyMoves and who, in the opinion of their instructor are ready to take a Level 1 class.
