DISTRACTION-FREE ENVIRONMENT

• At Pura Vida, we aim to create a peaceful and motivating Pilates and fitness space.
  Please be mindful that participants are working hard to focus, so enter and exit like a ninja (shh…) while sessions and classes are in progress.
• We request that everyone keep conversations to a minimum during class time. Please understand that people are trying to concentrate and work their butts off! Chatting can be very distracting to both instructors and participants.
• Wearing scented products, including fragrances is discouraged, as these products may cause adverse health effects in a closed-circulation room where people are exercising.
• We really can be separated from our cell phones for just an hour of the day. Really, we can! Anyone entering our studio is requested to put their phones on silent – no audible alerts, please.
• And let’s always keep things positive! Please check any negativity at the door so that we may always keep things positively peaceful!
• Thank you in advance for your understanding.

 

ATTIRE

• Remember that most of us are barefoot and often have our bodies on the floor in this space.
• Please remove your outside shoes before entering the exercise area.
• If sneakers are required for class, please bring a clean pair to change into.
• It is recommended that you wear fitted, secure, comfortable workout attire with no buckles or zippers that could damage equipment.
• Wear supportive clothing as necessary.

 

STUDIO AREA

• We love that our boutique studio is far cleaner than any gym you have ever set foot in, and we want to keep it that way!
• Please clean your mat and props after every use and put them away.
• Please remember to remove your outside shoes before entering the exercise area.
• We provide cubbies and coat racks for personal belongings, which should be stored neatly.
• We appreciate your help in keeping our studio looking spiffy!
