Your First Session Is One-on-One. Built Around Your Body. With No Pressure to Keep Up.
The Therapeutic Pilates Intro Session · 60 minutes, one-on-one, at our Encinitas studio
You don't need to be in shape to start here. You don't need to have done Pilates before.
Fill out the short form, and we'll call you the same day to hear what's going on and make sure Revive is the right fit.
Here is what happens in your Intro Session:
- We watch how you actually move — every woman starts with the Revive Movement Screen™: how you breathe, how you load, how your core and pelvic floor respond under pressure. No judgment, just information.
- A full hour, one-on-one — not a class, not a trial session with eleven other women. The hour is built around what the screen finds.
- A clear recommendation before you leave — which program fits your body and your goals: private sessions, small group classes of never more than six, or a PT-integrated plan.
Not sure whether Pilates or physical therapy is where you should start? That's what the call is for. You don't have to figure it out first.

"I was nervous walking in. I hadn't exercised in years, and I was sure I would be the woman who couldn't keep up. But it was nothing like I expected. They watched how I moved, explained what they were seeing, and built the whole session around what my body actually needed. I left feeling stronger and more hopeful than I had in a long time."
★★★★★ Nancy, 56 — Pilates client
Designed by a doctor. Taught by the team she trained herself.
Dr. Dawn Andalon spent more than twenty years watching women get handed the wrong tools for the stage of life they were actually in. Physical therapy resolved the symptom — and then care ended, with nowhere to keep getting stronger. So she built the Pilates side herself, in her own method, so there was no gap to fall through.
Every instructor here is personally trained by her in the Pelvic & Core Reset™ Method. Which is why the woman teaching your session knows what a pelvic floor does under load, what osteoporosis changes, and what a hysterectomy recovery actually needs.

What Happens Next
Here’s what happens after you submit:
You fill out the short form above
Tell us a little about what you’ve been experiencing. It takes less than 60 seconds.
We call you the same day
We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand what you’ve been dealing with, what you’ve tried, and what you want to feel like in your body — then answer anything you want to know before you come in, and find a time that works for your schedule. Most women are seen within a few days.
You come in for your Pilates Intro Session
Sixty minutes, in person at our Encinitas studio, one-on-one with a women’s health specialist. We start with the Revive Movement Screen™ — how you move, how you load, and how your core and pelvic floor respond under pressure. No judgment, just information. By the end you’ll know exactly which program fits your body and your goals — private sessions, small group classes of never more than six, or a PT-integrated plan. No pressure. No commitment. Just answers.
Before We Schedule Anything
Not everyone who calls becomes a client.
That’s why we call you before we book you. Some women need a different kind of care than we provide, and we’d rather tell you that on the phone than take your money and find out in week three.
If we’re a fit, we’ll find you a time. If we’re not, we’ll tell you honestly and point you toward the right care — whether that’s a different specialist, a different practice, or a different approach altogether.
You don’t need anyone’s permission to come in. You do deserve an honest answer about whether we’re the right people to help.
And when you pay directly, every decision gets made for one person — you. No insurance approvals. No session caps. No six-visit limit. If you’d like to talk about what the investment looks like before you come in, ask us on the call, or text us at (760) 301-5235.

“I'd tried Pilates at a regular studio and quit after four classes. It moved too fast, and nobody asked what was going on with me. Here they watched how I moved first and adjusted everything. It was the first time I didn't feel like I was doing it wrong.”
★★★★★ Pamela, 62 — Pilates client
“I came in for one thing and figured I'd do a few sessions and be done. That was three years ago. It's just part of my week now. I don't think of it as treatment anymore, I think of it as the reason I can still do everything else.”
★★★★★ Teresa, 58 — Pilates client
Questions You Might Have Before Your First Pilates Session
-
Your Pilates Intro Session is 60 minutes, one-on-one with a women's health specialist trained in Therapeutic Pilates for women over 40.
-
The Pilates Intro Session is priced as a flat rate and is separate from ongoing program packages. Because our programs are tailored to each woman's body and goals, we walk you through all pricing options on your call and again at your session.
Revive is a private-pay practice — we don't bill insurance or Medicare, and Medicare doesn't typically reimburse for Pilates. Every decision we make is based on what your body needs, not what a coverage plan will approve.
Text or call us at (760) 301-5235 if you'd like a price before you come in.

That's completely fine — you're never under any obligation to continue. The Intro Session exists so you can find out what your body needs and what training here would actually look like. If you want to keep going, we'll build you a program. If you don't, you'll still leave with a clear picture of where you're starting from.
Either way, nobody here will pressure you to keep going. We may check in to see how you're doing — if you'd rather we didn't, just say so.
-
Not at all. The Intro Session is designed specifically for women who are new to Pilates, returning after a long break, or who tried it once and walked away. We meet you exactly where you are — no judgment, no expectations.
-
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Grip socks are required — we have them available for purchase at our studio if you don’t have a pair
-
Then we'll tell you. Some women who reach out are better served by physical therapy first — if you're navigating pelvic floor symptoms, pain, or post-surgical recovery, a Discovery Visit is the better starting point, and we'll say so on the call.
And some women need care we don't provide at all. In that case, we'll point you toward who does.
The Intro Session exists to answer that question honestly. You're not committing to a program by coming in — you're finding out whether this is the right room for your body.
100% Happiness Guaranteed
Yes, We Said It.
We are so confident in what we do and how we help women that our 100% happiness guarantee protects every program at Revive. If you are not 100% satisfied with the level of service you are provided, all you have to do is tell us at the time of your session and that session is on us. It's that simple.
One Form. One Call. One Hour.
Strong and Confident. At 40, 50, 60, and Beyond. That Is Not a Hope. That Is What Happens Here.
Fill out the form and we'll call you the same day. Most women are seen within a few days.
So you can lift, hike, travel, and pick up your grandkids without wondering if you'll pay for it later.
