From the reviews
A tragedy sadly befell my family and I late canceled several sessions. While I typically eat the late cancel fee (they are running a business) given the circumstances I reached out and informed the owner about what happened. She promptly and without question refunded the fees she’d deducted.
I had such a great experience at this Pilates class! The instructor was fantastic—super knowledgeable and made sure to demonstrate each move clearly. They offered helpful cues throughout, which made it easy to follow along, even for beginners.
I can’t speak highly enough of the gratitude I have in finding Caya. I joined my girlfriends as a member there in June 2019 and haven’t looked back since! I never had a fitness routine or a space which I ever felt comfortable working out in, but after 2.
Best Pilates studio with the best instructors! I've taken 3 barre classes a week and each one is a new challenge; it never feels repetitive. I also love their pilates instructor I always leave feeling like I got hit by a truck, but in a good way haha
Teacher training at Caya
Caya comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at Caya
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
