Key Info

First-time attendees

If you are new to Pilates, we recommend a private or beginner class regardless of your fitness level. We want to ensure you get the terminology, sequencing, and correct form down so you can get the most from your classes. Also note that we require all first-time attendees to read and sign a waiver before attending their first class, so consider coming at least 15 minutes before the scheduled class to make sure you attend on time.

What to wear and bring to class

Wear clothes that you usually wear to the gym—something comfortable and easy to move in. For guys, gym pants or long shorts are recommended. For better form, safety, and hygiene, we require everyone to wear non-slip grip socks during class. If you do not bring your own, these socks are for sale at the studio. A hand towel is recommended, and showers are available at the studio.

Grip Socks are mandatory

Please note that for safety and hygiene reasons, everyone is required to wear non-slip grip socks during class. We encourage you to bring your own, but we also have a selection available for purchase at the studio.

Class Levels and Training Intensity

We offer a range of classes targeting different levels of training. We recommend our new clients attend beginner classes first to help them adjust for the more intense sessions. Our classes are sorted into three main categories: Beginner, All Levels, and Intermediate/Advanced. Even as an experienced user, you may prefer to pick a lower class level that suits the intensity you are aiming for on a particular day. If you feel the need to increase the intensity level even more, make sure to let your trainer know so they can help you achieve the best results.

How to sign up and schedule a class

We offer different options, from pre-paid packages to flexible memberships, which you can purchase or register for by clicking on the corresponding links on our price list page. Alternatively, we encourage you to download the MindBody App; once installed, search for "X-treme Pilates Vienna" in the app.

How does the Wait List work

If you choose to put yourself on the class waitlist, when a spot opens up more than 24 hours before class, you will automatically be added to that class and sent a confirmation email. BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON THAT EMAIL, as there are always spam problems, junk mail issues, and email server hiccups and crashes. Please log in and check your schedule to make sure you are enrolled!
This procedure protects you from being added to a class that you may no longer be able to attend, avoiding possible late cancel or no-show fees.
If you reserve or waitlist yourself for more than one class in a day, or more than is ultimately allowed by your current package, you are responsible for the purchase and any cancellation penalties for all classes that you reserve and get bumped into from the waitlists.

Changing your reservation after booking

Changes to your reservation can only be made if they are made before the 24-hour cancellation window. You cannot move out of a class into another class at a later time without incurring a late cancel or no-show fee.
To make changes, sign in to your account, click on the “My Info” tab, then click “My Schedule” and choose whatever action you’d like. To remove yourself from a waitlist, click on “Waitlist” near the upper right of the page.

Teaching Language

All classes are instructed in both German and English. The instructor will usually adapt to the needs of the participants. If you require emphasis on a certain language, please let the instructor know.

Class etiquette

To ensure the best experience for all class participants, we advise you to respect some basic rules of decency:

  • Avoid coming late: try to be at the studio at least 10 minutes before class starts to ensure you enter the room on time. To avoid breaking the flow of the class participants' training, the instructor may reserve the right to close access to the class after it starts.
  • Restrict your mobile phone use: please consider muting your phone during class to avoid disturbing other participants. Also, note that recording videos during class is not permitted. We advise you to avoid distractions and pay attention to the trainer for your own safety during the exercises. If you wish to record some videos, feel free to ask a trainer and do so before or after class.
  • Personal & general hygiene: Please be prepared to sweat during training to keep a pleasant atmosphere in the room, and don't forget to disinfect your reformer after use, using the provided wipes and disinfectant at the studio.

Classes for Pregnant Women

Yes! We are happy to accommodate all you expecting mothers.
We require that you be a currently active member of the studio (taking group classes or privates at the studio) or have been taking reformer pilates classes regularly somewhere else prior to attending XTP.
You will also need to bring a doctor's note with you to give to the instructor during your first class while pregnant.
Your doctor's note should indicate that you are cleared for exercise and can attend reformer pilates classes.
If you are brand new to reformer pilates, we request that you please take some initial private sessions before attending group classes so that you are familiar enough with the machinery, form, and technique to make modifications.
This will ensure it is safe and comfortable for you and your baby to attend the group classes.
The number of private sessions needed will be determined by your instructor.
