Walking into your first Pilates class can feel like a big step. The good news is that you do not need any experience to start. At Beau Monde Pilates, our classes are guided with care and intention, and our studio is a place to arrive as you are.

Here is everything you need to know before your first class.

Can beginners take a Pilates class?

Yes. All of our classes are open to all levels, including complete beginners. Our instructors are trained in both classical and contemporary Pilates, and they give guidance and modifications throughout class, so you can work at a level that feels right for you.

If it is your very first time, let your instructor know when you arrive.

As Gabriela O. wrote in a Google review: "…first time that I tried Pilates. It was the best abdominal workout of my life…"

Which class should you choose first?

We offer two kinds of classes in Miami Beach:

  • Reformer Pilates at our South of Fifth studio, 500 South Pointe Dr, Suite 120. These are small-group classes on custom reformer machines.
  • Outdoor mat Pilates at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, on the Ocean Lawn overlooking the shoreline, and at Loews Miami Beach, within Sea Spa.

Not sure which to pick? Our blog post on reformer vs. mat Pilates walks through the differences. Either one is a fine place to start.

What should you wear and bring?

Keep it simple:

  • Comfortable athletic clothing that lets you move freely.
  • Grip socks. If you forget yours, grip socks are sold at the studio.
  • Water.

You do not need to bring a mat or any equipment. Equipment, including mats, is provided.

When should you arrive?

Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before class starts. At our South of Fifth studio, that is also when you will select your machine.

If your plans change, cancel at least 24 hours before class to avoid charges. Late cancellations may be subject to a $25 fee.

How does booking work?

Booking takes two steps, and the second one is easy to miss:

  1. Buy a class, pack, or offer. At South of Fifth, new clients can start with our New Client Intro Offer, 3 classes for $99, or buy a single class for $45. At the Fontainebleau and the Loews, a single mat class is $30.
  2. Pick your time. Buying a pack does not book a class. After you purchase, choose your class on the schedule or in the Beau Monde Pilates app, available on the App Store and Google Play.

You can book by location here:

For every price and pack, see our pricing pages for South of Fifth, the Fontainebleau, and the Loews. More questions? Visit our FAQs, call (305) 619-3088, or email info@beaumondepilates.com.
