Prior to taking classes at the Pilates room studio in Carlsbad I had limited exposure to a reformer machine, but on the first day the instructor showed me how to set up the machine correctly for my height and some safety precautions. I have been taking classes at the studio for 4 weeks at least twice a week and all the instructors have been knowledgeable, helpful, provided clear instruction, any needed cues for technique, provided modifications as needed, provided encouragement for all levels, and provided a challenging workout. This studio has made me love completing pilates workouts, got me in better shape without injury, and kept be motivated to show up for my workouts.
