What should I wear to Pilates or GYROTONIC®/GYROKINESIS® class?

Wear comfortable workout clothes that allow you to move freely. No shoes are needed. Some clients prefer grippy/non-slip socks, while others enjoy barefoot practice for extra connection and grip—it’s entirely up to you. For your safety, please remove all jewelry before class, as it can cause injury or damage the equipment.

What should I bring to class?

Just bring yourself, a water bottle, and a small towel. For Pilates equipment classes and private/semi-private training, you’ll need your own personal Pilates loops. Loops compatible with our equipment are available for purchase at the front desk. If you choose to bring your own, please check with us first to ensure they’re a good fit. Forgot your loops? No worries—rentals are available for $19 per class/session (and thoroughly sanitized after each use). We provide all other equipment and props.

Where should I park?

We offer free parking in the garage attached to our building, with entrances on both the upper and lower decks. Look for the turn between our building and Kelly’s Oyster Bar—it can be easy to miss the first time, so drive slowly. We’re directly across from the Fairfax Courthouse.

How long are classes and training sessions?

Most of our classes and private sessions are 50 minutes long, unless otherwise noted.

How many participants are allowed in class?

We only offer small-group classes for a more personal experience. Pilates and GYROKINESIS® classes are capped at 6 participants, while GYROTONIC® classes are limited to 3.

Do you require reservations?

Yes, reservations are required.

• Studio Classes: Reserve at least 1 hour before class using our online scheduler or mobile app.

• Private/Semi-Private Sessions: Reserve at least 12 hours in advance by phone (703-204-2200) or email (info@epiphanymovementcenter.com).

Please note: Classes with fewer than 3 reservations may be canceled. We’ll always do our best to notify you at least 2 hours in advance.

How do I cancel my reservation?

We kindly ask that you honor our cancellation policy:

• Studio Classes: Cancel at least 12 hours before class using our online scheduler or mobile app.

• Private/Semi-Private Sessions: Cancel at least 24 hours before your session by contacting the studio by phone (703-204-2200) or email (info@epiphanymovementcenter.com).

• Late cancels or no-shows: A $15 fee will be charged, and the class/session will be forfeited. In addition, all clients who late cancel or “no show” will be given a strike on their account. If a client accumulates three (3) strikes, their account will be blocked. To unblock the account, clients must contact the studio.

What if I have back issues or other injury/disease?

Please let us know about any health concerns before class so we can suggest safe modifications. Both Pilates and the GYROTONIC® method are excellent ways to build strength, improve balance, and increase flexibility—all of which can support healing and prevention of injuries. Many clients with back issues or other conditions find these methods especially beneficial.

Is Pilates and the GYROTONIC® method safe during pregnancy?

 Absolutely! Pilates and the GYROTONIC® method are among the best exercise programs during pregnancy and postpartum. We’re proud to offer a specialized Prenatal & Postnatal Program with classes and private sessions designed for this important stage. For your safety, we require that all pregnant clients transition into this program after your first trimester.

What is the studio’s inclement weather policy? 

 Your safety is our top priority. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll send an email and personally call or text everyone with reservations to let you know about closings or cancellations. We want everyone to stay healthy, happy and safe!
