Pilates Classes in Port Washington, NY
Small Group Pilates Classes Near You at Evolution Pilates: Reformer, Mat, Tower, Chair
Each of the small group Pilates classes at our Port Washington studio incorporates the 4 S’s of Pilates (stretch, strength, stamina, and stability). As you move through a combination of classes on the reformer, tower, and raised mat you will learn the system that is Pilates. Our Reformer classes hold a maximum of 6 participants and Tower/Mat classes a maximum of 8 so we recommend that you schedule classes in advance. Our classes do fill up so don’t get shut out! Joe Pilates recommended 3 sessions a week and we agree that this is the ideal schedule. Taking a variety of classes will give you the most robust Pilates experience and yield the fastest results to tone, sculpt, and redefine your body.
In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.

The Classical Pilates Class Experience
Our group Pilates classes unfold like a semi-private session so expect detailed instructions, hands-on cues, and individual corrections for proper alignment and form. Come consistently so that instructors get to know you and your unique needs and that you can progress over time.
Reformer and Apparatus Pilates Classes in Port Washington
During a Pilates class at Evolution Pilates, you can expect to use the combination of Reformer, Tower, and Raised Mat to experience the complete Pilates system. Some of our classes focus on using only a specific piece of Pilates apparatus (for example, our Reformer Classes or Tower Classes) while others allow you to move through a variety of apparatus available in our Port Washington Pilates Studio. During each class, you will work on improving your Strength, Stretch, Stamina, and Stability (the 4 S’s of Pilates) to get a complete full-body workout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need private sessions before joining a group class?
Not necessarily. We recommend starting with private sessions whenever possible, especially if you are completely new to Pilates. Private sessions give you the opportunity to learn the classical Pilates system, become familiar with the equipment and understand the fundamentals before joining a group.
We offer several Pilates introductory packages to help you get started, including a private-session introductory package, a combination of private sessions and group classes, and a group-class-only introductory package. If you’re not sure which option is right for you, contact us and we’ll help you choose the best place to begin.
What types of Pilates classes do you offer?
Evolution Pilates offers small-group Reformer, Tower, Mat and mixed Apparatus classes. Our classes follow the classical Pilates system and its traditional exercise order, with instructors providing individual attention, hands-on cues and corrections. Classes range from beginner through advanced levels.
How many people are in a class?
Our Reformer classes are limited to 6 people, while Tower and Mat classes have a maximum of 8. Keeping our classes small allows your instructor to see how you move, make individual corrections and give you the attention you would expect from a smaller studio focused on progress.
How much do Pilates classes cost?
A drop-in group class at Evolution Pilates is $50, and packages start at $45 per class. New clients can also choose from our introductory offers, including private, combination and group-class options.
Our rates are reviewed annually and increase on January 1.
How long is a class?
Every Evolution Pilates class is 50 minutes.
How often should I take Pilates classes?
Three times a week is a great goal. Joseph Pilates recommended practicing three times a week, and we find that consistent practice is one of the best ways to build strength, stamina, stability and control.
If three times a week isn’t realistic, don’t worry – consistency matters more than perfection. For the full classical experience, we encourage you to mix Reformer, Tower, Mat and Apparatus work as your schedule allows.
Are your Pilates classes good for beginners?
Absolutely. Evolution Pilates offers beginner-friendly Pilates classes as well as intermediate and advanced levels, and we help every new client find the appropriate starting point.
If you’re new to Pilates, private sessions are a great way to learn the fundamentals and become comfortable with the equipment before joining a group. If you have an injury, medical condition or need individual accommodations, please contact us before booking so we can determine whether private sessions are the better place to begin.
What should I wear and bring to my first class?
Wear comfortable, fitted workout clothes that allow your instructor to see your alignment and movement. Socks are required; grip socks are recommended. Bare feet are not permitted.
Please avoid perfume and strongly scented products, as some of our clients have severe allergies. Arrive a few minutes early so you have time to get settled and check in.

How do I book a class?
All Evolution Pilates classes are by appointment. You can book through the Momence app or our online Pilates class schedule. You’ll need an active package or a card on file to reserve your spot.
Because our classes are intentionally small, they can fill quickly – we recommend booking ahead.
What is your cancellation policy?
We have a 24-hour cancellation policy for all classes and sessions. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as no-shows, are charged in full and cannot be made up.
What makes classical Pilates different?
Classical Pilates follows Joseph Pilates’ original system, including its traditional exercise order, repertoire and use of equipment. The exercises aren’t random – they are designed to work together, with each movement preparing the body for what comes next.
At Evolution Pilates, we teach the system as a complete method, developing strength, stamina, stability and stretch while maintaining the control and precision that make Pilates unique.
