Why the elephant?
Our brand mascot, Eddie the Elephant, is very special to us as he encompasses RF’s core values—Compassion, Community, Commitment and Continuous Improvement. Elephants are known for their community, they travel and stick together; another mother will raise another's calf; when in trouble the herd will circle together to protect the weaker inside the circle. They care for each other. Eddie shows strength and balance as he reaches for the leaves of the tree for nourishment. He does this so gracefully on one leg demonstrating his strength and agility. Pilates helps each of us heal, get stronger and grow—physically, mentally and soulfully. Eddie is just a little reminder that we too can take care of our community, heal, and be graceful and strong each and every day.
Compassion, Community, Commitment, Continous Improvement.
Welcome to your community; the sky's the limit.

Your Best Start: Personalized Foundation + Small Group Pilates $299
This welcome package is designed for clients who want to step into Pilates classes feeling confident, capable, and fully supported.
You’ll begin with three 50-minute individual sessions to build the foundation that makes Pilates truly effective. Working one-on-one with an expert instructor, you’ll learn how to activate your deep core, refine your alignment, improve mobility, and understand how to use the Pilates equipment with precision—so you’re not guessing in class.
From there, you’ll transition into three small group Pilates classes. Our classes are intentionally limited to 6–8 clients, creating a semi-private experience where you still receive hands-on guidance, personalized cueing, and an elevated level of instruction.
This is the ideal introduction for healthy bodies who want to commit to a consistent Pilates practice—with structure, education, and a clear path forward.
Includes: 3 Individual Sessions + 3 Small Group Classes
Class credits will be added to your account after your first session is completed.
