Questions

What to Expect

Is it really that intense?
Yes, but in the best way. Resistance is fully adjustable so intensity scales to your level. You won't be jumping or pounding joints, but your muscles will be working the entire 45 minutes. Most members say it's the hardest they've worked while still protecting their body.
I've never done Pilates. Can I still take a class?
Absolutely. The XFormer looks intimidating but it isn't. Adjustable resistance means the class scales to you, whether you're a complete beginner or a longtime athlete. Our instructors walk you through the machine from your very first session.
What is the XFormer machine?
The XFormer is x2o's signature Pilates reformer-style machine. It uses a spring resistance system to engage your full body through slow, precise movements, delivering a high-intensity workout without any impact on your joints or spine. Learn more about the XFormer.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable workout clothes and grip socks are required; they keep you safe on the machine. We carry ToeSox grip socks in studio if you need a pair. Bring water and show up ready to sweat.
Where do I park?
Use the parking structure off Laurel and San Carlos Ave, right around the corner from the studio. Give yourself a few extra minutes on your first visit so you're not rushing in.
How early should I arrive for my first class?
Plan to arrive 10 minutes early. We'll introduce you to the XFormer, walk through our method, and ask about any injuries or goals. It makes a real difference in your first session.
What if I need to cancel a class?
You can cancel or move a class up to 12 hours before it starts without losing the credit. Easiest way is through the x2o Studio app.
How do I book my first class?
Create an account online or through the x2o Studio app, buy your first class or intro pack, then pick a spot on the schedule. You'll get an email confirmation after booking. Your membership works across all four of our Bay Area studios.
