Reform: a True Pilates Studio at 18 Division St., Ste. 203, is hosting an informal open house Thursday, Jan. 24 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Meghan Del Prete, owner of Reform Pilates, is providing a relaxed, pressure-free opportunity for the public to come observe and try out Pilates apparatus. Attendees will be able to watch private sessions and small-group classes as well as ask the instructors Pilates questions. Free 15-minute demos are available for people to use the apparatus with instructor guidance. Pre-registration is requested. Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle for the $250 Introduction to Pilates package and will get 10 percent off all boutique purchases. The studio boutique offers Pilates and yoga workout apparel, including Lucy and other name brands, and has a selection of Pilates books, DVDs and workout accessories.

Reform: a True Pilates Studio offers private and semiprivate instruction as well as small-group classes in a studio equipped with Gratz Apparatus, state-of-the-art training equipment. All instructors have been certified by Romana’s Pilates at True Pilates NY. This gives the studio the advantage of keeping the integrity of the Pilates method as it was taught by Joseph Pilates and handed down to Romana Kryzanowska.
