The 6 principles of Pilates - control, centering, concentration, precision, breath, flow, arranged in the shape of a 6 s

A true boutique studio experience.

Sessions at The Six are limited to just four clients, ensuring you receive personalized attention and tailored feedback while focusing deeply on the six principles of Pilates: centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow.

At The Six, we deliver a comprehensive and low impact full-body workout, blending contemporary instruction with Joseph Pilates classical method. We apply this method across premium Merrithew equipment including the reformer, tower, and stability chair.

Our goal is to help our clients build functional strength, flexibility, and balance while creating a community that allows movement to be ageless, inclusive and supported. Our teaching approach focuses on helping each person feel comfortable and empowered by providing adjustments and alternatives that honor their body’s unique needs. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced practitioner seeking a challenge, we are here to help you grow.

Group Classes

The Six Signature 

Reformer, Tower & Stability Chair

Our definitive, full-body Pilates experience. The Six Signature takes you across the premium Merrithew reformer, tower, and stability chair in a single, open-format session. Rather than restricting the workout to a single apparatus, each class is custom-programmed daily to deliver a seamless flow of strength, mobility, and deep core control. Intimate and highly personalized, every session is limited to just four clients and rooted in the six principles of Pilates. Four people. Every apparatus. Never the same class twice. All levels welcome. 

Pregnancy & Postpartum 

Tower & Stability Chair

Move with strength and confidence through every trimester and beyond. Our specialized Pregnancy & Postpartum class utilizes the stable platform of the tower and the upright support of the stability chair to cultivate breath, deep core stability, and pelvic floor awareness. Far more than just a gentle stretch, this workout uses supportive spring resistance to support your back and build functional power tailored exactly to your body’s changing needs. Whether you are expecting or navigating your recovery after delivery, every sequence is mindfully modified to meet you exactly where you are so you leave feeling energized, safe, and powerful.

Note: Please check with your healthcare provider before starting, and reach out to inform us where you are in your journey prior to booking your first class.

The Jump at The Six

Jumpboard + Tower or Stability Chair

Cardio, the Pilates way. The Jump at The Six is a fast-paced, rhythmic jumpboard session that lifts your heart rate, challenges your coordination, and lights up your legs, all while being kind to your joints. Then, we trade the jump for the burn, finishing on the tower or chair to build deep strength and control. High energy, low impact, and always limited to just four people.
