Fitness wear is recommended. Avoid zippers, large buttons and overly flowy material as these things can get caught in equipment. Please leave your jewelry and BLING at home. No one will be permitted to use the AntiGravity® Harrison Hammocks while wearing jewelry. This includes neckalaces, rings, watches and dangling earrings. The jewelry can get caught in the Hammock and hurt you/put holes in the Hammock. You’ll want to wear a long-sleeved shirt and fitted leggings or fitted shorts for AntiGravity®. Please wear socks, though you may need to take them off from time to time. Please bring a small towel.

Scheduling

Certain Classes require reservations ahead of time. Usually, 45 minutes before the class begins. This is because instructors need to know how/if they should prepare for class/set up studio. Always check the MindBody App online via sthielpilates.com or by downloading the FREE MindBody App to your smart phone or call the studio (412-482-4921) for possible last minute schedule changes and during inclement weather. Though we do our best to keep intended schedules or inform clients of changes ahead of time.

Please leave valuables at home. STHIEL PILATES not responsible for lost/stolen articles.
