Your Pilates, your way.

We are located at 91 Main Street in the Tourister Mill building, in Warren, RI. Please use the entrance closest to the Barrington/Warren bridge, we are in the back with a water view. When you enter the mill complex, the water should be in front of you. Drive around with the water on your right hand side, bear left in to a parking lot. We are located next to the dentist office, you will see our logo on the door. There is plenty of parking.

We want our clients to be comfortable and able to move, but you also want your instructor to be able to see your form and movements. We recommend wearing longer pants for ease of movement, dressing in layers as you will warm up and cool down throughout your sessions, and a comfortable top. Your clothes do not need to be tight, but please avoid baggy and bulky garments. Socks are required for all clients, at all times (we sell grippy socks at the studio if you forget yours). For men, if you choose to wear shorts, please wear compression shorts underneath.

Just bring yourself and your Pilates socks, and water. We provide a private changing area if needed and cubbies and hooks for your personal belongings. Someone from our friendly staff will great you with a smile and give you a tour of the studio. We have bottled water available for $1 and we also have grippy socks available for purchase ($16-$24) if you forget yours.

*Please do not bring any personal belongings - outside of clothing or water - into the actual studio. Read our studio policies here.

Pilates is a physical and mental fitness program developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. Using proper body mechanics, controlled movements, pelvic stabilization, and coordinated breathing, Pilates focuses on flexibility and strength to create a balance in the body. By correcting posture, Pilates can strengthen your body against future injuries. Because Pilates focuses on the connection between the mind and body, it also offers meditative benefits - increased energy, improved concentration and better coordination.

Like anything, consistency is key and at studio47 Pilates we say CONSISTENCY = RESULTS! Pilates should be practiced 2-3 times per week at least (but you are able to practice Pilates all week long). We recommend taking a variety of classes, including Equipment and Mat and working with a variety of instructors to find the best combination for you and your body.

Every age, gender and body type can and will benefit from Pilates. Pilates emphasizes form and alignment. The movements are performed precisely, in a smooth, slow, controlled way, and are coordinated with specific breathing patterns. The exercises work the muscles efficiently, so each movement is repeated only a few times. Pilates is also progressive and adaptable. Everyone starts out learning the basics - the movements, alignment, breathing, concentration, and flow - essential to Pilates. Then specific exercises are added according to individual needs, abilities and limitations.

Pilates is known for building strength using low-impact movements that are easy on the joints (but don’t get it twisted, you *will* be sore afterwards). The Pilates workout targets every muscle group, but it’s most well-known for building core strength — which will lead to better posture and alignment, better balance, and increased stability. Pilates also lengthens your muscles to improve your flexibility (if you haven’t been able to touch your toes for years, that’s about to change). In addition to strength, studio47 offers unique Pilates classes that emphasize cardio, like our signature CARDIO Reformer class, which utilizes a jumpboard to increase your heart rate. Whatever benefit you’re looking to get out of your workout, studio47 Pilates can help.
