Frequently Asked Questions

What is KARVE?

‍It is a new style of workout with Pilates at its core that uses intense and slow, conscious movements to fire up the body and train the mind. We called it Transformer Pilates. It consists of a warm-up, full body workout and a quick stretching/meditation in the end. Only 50 minutes long, it is a perfect go-to full body class that tests your strength and resilience and transforms not just your body but also your mind.

When will I see results?

It’s all about consistency and the effort you put in. We advise doing at least 2 classes a week for a couple of weeks to build up stamina. You can then increase the sessions to 3 times a week. And remember to leave at least 24 hours in between the trainings.

I am new to Pilates, can I still do KARVE?

Our regular KARVE classes are for all levels. We offer modifications and hands on adjustments (only if you are ok with those!) for a variety of movements. You need to have attended at least 10 KARVE classes to be able to join the Advanced ones.

How’s the workout different from a regular Reformer Pilates class?

We use customised Transformer Pilates machines which are much bigger than the standard Refomer Pilates ones with a choice of weight-loaded springs. The workout is made up of regular moves like planks and lunges but performed at a super slow pace using high intensity and tension. We start with a warm up, then do a full body class and finish off with some stretching and a bit of breathing or a meditation. There’s no counting reps, only timing the moves. And best part, once we are done with a body part, we are not going back to it!

When should I arrive for my session?

If it’s your first time please arrive at least 10 minutes before your class starts to check in, put your grip socks on and get inside the studio. If you are not on your transformer 5 minutes before the start of the class, you will not be permitted to attend it. If you are a regular, then make sure you are inside the studio before the door shuts! No late entries permitted and you will lose your credit.

What should I wear and what should I bring to the class?

Wear your regular workout gear and grip socks. The socks are mandatory and can be purchased at the studio. We do sell water and water bottles that you can fill up in our water fountain. The small sweat towels and shower towels are provided for free.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can change or cancel your class up to 12 hours before the class starts. If you cancel less than 12 hours before that, you will lose the credit. If you are on an Unlimited Membership and don’t show up for the class, you will be charged a cancellation fee. Please see Cancelation Policy for further information.

Will I get a space in a full class if I join the Waitlist?

We do have people canceling. If you put yourself on the waiting list, you will be notified as soon as there’s a spot available. Only if you get a sign up confirmation email, your credit will be taken off your account. If you didn’t get the spot, you keep the credit.
