RockSalt Pilates

RockSalt Pilates runs music-driven Pilates classes that mix classical Pilates with cardio, resistance and weights, choreographed to the beat. Its signature Sweat class is a full-body fusion created by founder Adrian Ramirez, and Stretch and Strength classes are offered as lower-intensity starting points. Classes use both the Reformer and the mat, and run 50 minutes each.

New students are welcome, and the studio says no previous Pilates experience is needed. The company recommends taking five Stretch or Strength classes before joining a Sweat class. The studio is at 306 East 5th Avenue in San Mateo, and the company's Bay Area studios are in San Mateo, Redwood City and nearby communities.
