FAQ
THE STUDIO

THE WORKOUT
What is a ROWFORMER Class?
Pilates Inspired,Cardio Infused. The class that will change the way you train. You will Sweat and Shake. Our 50 minute class includes light and heavy resistance strength training for a full-body workout. Pilates Inspired to work your upper body, back, legs, glutes, obliques, abs and core. Cardio Infused with HIIT training placed within the workout with five minute blocks of rowing.
How is an HF class on the ROWFORMER different from Pilates and Lagree? The HF workout is unlike anything you’ve done before. THE ROWFORMER is the first machine ever to combine resistance training with cardio HIIT training on the rowing end. With little to no impact on your joints, it’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to train. Our classes combine strong controlled movements (which use slow twitch muscle fibers which activates to helps build endurance) and bursts of fast movement (which use fast twitch muscle fiber activation that promotes speed and power).
How many times should I come a week?
We suggest three classes a week to get the most benefits of the ROWFORMER workout. If you want more than add in a few FORM classes to balance out your week! Every body is different. It’s important to do what feels good for you and what your body responds to best.
What is the ROWFORMER?
A game changer. The first machine of its kind. It is a Pilates Inspired machine infused with a Concept 2 rower. Come in and see for yourself.
Do you have a beginner class?
All fitness levels are welcome in each class so there’s no need for a beginners class. Our HF trainers can modify the class to your needs. If you’re coming to this workout for the first time, please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can get you comfortable with the ROWFOMER.
Is this class going to be hard?
Yes it is challenging, but what challenges you will also change you. It will be the best thing you have ever tried. Our classes are intense, but doable. Our trainers can adjust things to fit your needs. The ROWFORMER changes you. If you don’t get it at first, don’t beat yourself up. Embrace the challenge. Give yourself several weeks to learn the exercises and the flow of the classes.
How many calories will I burn?
You get what you put into it plus a little more. The number of calories burned depends on your gender and size, but on average you could burn upwards of 800 calories in a single 50-minute class.
Do I need a heart rate monitor?
You’ll need a heart rate monitor and can purchase them at the studio. We use the technology in class to see where you are at in the workout. It’s a great way to motivate you during your workout. Track your progress with our integrated heart rate technology, push yourself out of your comfort zone with our motivational trainers.
