Studio Policies

We want Move Missoula to be a place where you can focus, learn, and get the most out of your time with us. A few simple things help us create that experience for everyone:

Happy Feet, Please

Grip socks or confidently clean bare feet are welcome. If you have anything questionable happening with your feet, please wear socks. Your instructor will see your feet—we promise.

Dress for Pilates

Wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in and that allows us to see your alignment. Loose shorts? Fitted shorts underneath are your friend. Please avoid zippers, studs, or anything else that could damage our beloved Pilates equipment.

Hair Up, Springs Happy

Long hair should be tied back. Pilates equipment has springs, wheels, and moving parts—and none of them need a relationship with your hair.

Easy on the Scents

We breathe—a lot. Please keep perfumes, strongly scented lotions, and body sprays to a minimum for the comfort of everyone sharing the studio.

Honor Your Hour

Your Pilates time is for you. We keep conversations and distractions to a minimum so you—and those around you—can focus on the work. We also ask that political conversations stay outside the studio. There’s plenty of time for the rest of the world after Pilates—this hour is about you and your body.

Wait for Your Instructor

Those springs and straps may be calling your name, but please wait for an instructor before getting started on the equipment.

Tell Us What’s Going On

Bodies change from day to day. Tell us about any pain, injuries, unusual tightness, or changes you’re experiencing—even if you think it’s minor. The more we know, the better we can teach you.

Honor Your Reservation

We know plans change! Group Classes require 8 hours’ notice and Private & Semi-Private sessions require 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged.

And don’t be afraid of the waitlist! Schedules change, and there’s a good chance a spot will open up for you.

Running Late? Just Let Us Know.

Life happens. Send us a quick text if you’re running behind. If availability allows, we’re happy to help shift your appointment to another time that day or the next.

Need Us? Text Is Best.

Texting is the quickest way to reach us. Studio messages go directly to both the owner and studio manager, and we’ll respond as soon as we can between clients. Text: 406.830.3053. For non-urgent questions, email info@movemissoula.com.
