First Time at House of Heat?
We’re excited to welcome you to your first Hot Pilates class.
To make your experience smooth and stress-free, please arrive 10–15 minutes early. This gives you enough time to check in, get familiar with the space, meet your instructor and settle into the heat before class begins.
Our classes run for 45–60 minutes, including a short warm-up and a gentle cool-down. The movements are controlled, steady and intentional — but don’t underestimate them. You’ll definitely feel your body working.
If you're new to Hot Pilates, our First Heat intro offer is the perfect way to get started. You can join any class, and our instructors will make sure you feel safe and supported throughout. At the beginning of each session, your teacher will identify first timers, explain what to expect in the heat and guide you through the essential movements.
If anything feels unclear or you need support, we’re here for you.
Just let us know — we’re always happy to help.
Welco the House. We’re glad you’re her

Pregnancy & Hot Pilates
We generally do not recommend participating in Hot Pilates during pregnancy. The additional heat places extra stress on the body and may cause body temperature to rise more quickly. During pregnancy, the cardiovascular system and fluid balance can be more sensitive to intense exercise and high temperatures. For this reason, medical experts and fitness guidelines advise extra caution with heated workouts such as Hot Pilates.
Participation during pregnancy is entirely at your own risk and should only take place after consulting your doctor or midwife. Please listen carefully to your body at all times and stop exercising immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, overheating, or any discomfort.
Our studio accepts no liability for any health risks, complications, or discomfort arising from participation in Hot Pilates classes during pregnancy.
