Our newest studio, located on Spring Garden Street, will open in January 2025. We will be offering group Reformer, Springboard, and Mat Pilates classes. We are opening with a more limited schedule, and as we hire instructors will be adding more classes to the schedule.

All of our studios are located in the Fairmount and Spring Garden neighborhoods. The Spring Garden Street studio is located at 1822 Spring Garden Street - on the corner of 19th Street & Spring Garden Street. There are bike racks on the sidewalk going down 19th Street in front of Kansai, Christie’s Deli, and Philadelphia Bikesmith.

For Pilates, wear clothes you are comfortable in and that you can move in! For Reformer, we recommend wearing full or capri-length pants or leggings. Grip socks are required. We do have grip socks for sale at this location. Grip socks help you hold positions by gripping the floor or footbar on reformers for better traction and stability. Pilates mats and props are provided.

Mat Pilates and Springboard Pilates are beginner friendly! Both of these classes are designed to build core strength, so while movements may feel challenging to beginners, just remember you are developing and working core muscles that weren’t exercised in this way before.

Reformer Basics: This class will go over the different parts of the Reformer, how to get on and off, how to properly hold different pieces, and how to clean up/reset the Reformer after use. Attendees will be guided through a short flow to get a feel for what they can expect in an open level class. If you cannot make it to a Reformer Basics class, we recommend starting with Level 1 or Reformer Express, and plan on arriving at least 10 minutes prior to class to talk with your instructor and get a brief introduction to the machine.

Reformer Express and Level I: These are open level, beginner-friendly classes, with options and modifications provided throughout. Express classes are 45 minutes, and will utilize props such as a pilates ball or magic circle to enhance specific muscle engagement, provide support for alignment, and add challenges to a full body-workout.

Level II: This is an intermediate-advanced level Reformer class. This class is best suited for those with a regular Reformer Pilates practice. For safety, we require those attending Level II classes to have completed at least 20 Reformer Pilates classes, either at Lumos or at another studio. Proof of prior attendance is required - a screenshot of visit history if it was not taken through Lumos is acceptable, and may be emailed to info@lumosfitness.com. This requirement is to ensure those attending have a solid grasp of the equipment, and the ability to apply mind-body awareness in relation to the equipment, both of which are essential.
