New Member Offer
Begin here. The Society’s introductory offer for first-time members.
First Class Free
Doors open here.
Every member begins with The Initiation — beginner or seasoned practitioner. This is where we meet your body, and where you meet our equipment, our instructors, and our way of working.
Experience travels with you. What's new is us. Our reformers may sit differently than the ones you know. Our Tower work is often unfamiliar even to those with years on the reformer. Our cueing and our standards are ours alone — worth knowing before you take your first class.
Until your Initiation is complete, this is the only session available to you. After — the full schedule is yours.
The Society is built on craft. Yours starts here.
Three steps. Then the practice.
Beginning at The Pilates Society is intentionally structured. Every member follows the same path so that your first class feels confident, informed, and supported.
A complimentary one-on-one session before your first class. The apparatus, the language of the method, the way we teach. Yours, on us.
The reformer, taught from the foundation up. Build your base here.
Once the foundation is in place, the rest of the menu opens. Classical, fusion, strength, recovery — leveled and progressive, so the work grows as you do.
What to Expect
A few practical details before your first visit. Nothing complicated — just a few things that will help your first session feel comfortable and seamless.

From those who practice here
Of all the workouts I’ve tried over the years, Pilates is the one I’ve stayed committed to consistently — and by far my favorite. It’s a form of movement I recommend to everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or size. Pilates helps build strength, balance, and flexibility in a way that supports long-term mobility and overall wellness.
I found Rick as an instructor five years ago and have followed him ever since. He is, without question, the most knowledgeable instructor I’ve worked with. He creates an environment that is welcoming to all levels, from beginners to advanced clients, while still challenging and encouraging each person in their individual growth.
What truly sets Rick apart is his ability to connect with clients in a way that feels personal and approachable. He uses his extensive experience to explain movement in ways that make sense for each individual, helping me eliminate the self-consciousness and doubts I once had about my own abilities. His passion, patience, and genuine investment in every client’s progress make him an exceptional instructor.
I am so excited about the upcoming opening of The Pilates Society AZ! Pilates has become a cornerstone of my routine, and the people connected with this new studio have played a big part in establishing that cornerstone. I have studied with many of the instructors that will be teaching here.
They are outstanding, patient, clear, and deeply skilled at guiding movements that protect my joints while pushing my limits. At 71 years old that piece of mind is priceless.
Since I started, my strength has grown, my balance has sharpened, and my agility has improved noticeably. I'm excited to keep training here for years to come!
Rick Suttle is an exceptional Pilates instructor whose passion, knowledge, and dedication shine through in every class. I have been taking his group Pilates classes and private lessons for the past three years, and the experience has been truly transformative.
His expertise in classical Pilates, combined with his background as a professional ballroom dancer, creates a teaching style that is both precise and inspiring. Rick has an incredible ability to help his clients build strength, improve posture, and move with greater confidence and grace.
I am so excited for the opening of The Pilates Society AZ and know it will be an amazing space for anyone looking to deepen their Pilates practice.
