What should I wear/bring to class?

Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that you can move in.  For both safety and sanitary reasons, we require that you wear grip socks in all fitness classes. If you do not have grip socks, we do have various brands and styles available for purchase at the studio.  Most clients like to bring a water bottle and sweat towel. We have reverse osmosis filtered water stations at both studio locations for you to refill!

How Often Should I Attend Megaformer Classes?

Our Megaformer workout is designed to work your muscles to exhaustion, at which point you need to rest and recover.  Unlike traditional workouts, ours is not a workout you need to do daily in order to see results!  In fact, if this is your only form of fitness, we recommend taking 3-5 classes per week (max!) for the best results. By attending regularly, the connection that your mind has to your body will profoundly increase, your intensity will increase as you begin to master proper form and body mechanics, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll see results. Becasue our workout is so intense on your muscles, you will want to incorporate rest and recovery.

You will burn fat, increase flexibility and balance, jump-start your metabolism, strengthen your entire body and ultimately, be in the best shape of your life.

If you regularly practice another intense fitness regimen, taking our Megaformer class 1-2 days per week is a great form of cross-training!

I'm new to the workout. Should I do a Private Session if I've never been on a Megaformer?

We do offer private sessions, however our workout does not require you to start with a private session or even a beginner-level class. We believe in learning by doing – and our classes are designed to work for all levels in a personalized group setting. We offer a truly judgement-free and non-intimidating environment. Like with anything new, it takes around 5-8 classes to gain the comfort level associated with a better understanding of the workout, and we’re here to guide you through it.

You will need to arrive a minimum of 10 minutes early for your first class. Your coach will give you a tour of the machine before class starts and will also discuss any potential physical limitations you might have. You’ll receive a lot of personal attention during your workout. Modifications are possible for almost every exercise, to suit your current fitness level.

If you have a current injury, are recovering from surgery, or have other medical concerns – we may recommend starting with a private session. Feel free to chat with us to discuss.

What is the Late Cancellation and No-Show Policy?

Due to the limited number of spaces available in each session, we have 12 hour cancellation policy for group classes and all private sessions require a 24-hour cancellation notice. The policy is in place to encourage members to make schedule changes in a timely manner, and to ensure there are spots available as needed. When you reserve your space in the studio, keep in mind that you have now eliminated a spot on the schedule and classes fill up fast. Although we understand life happens, last minute schedule changes prevent others from having the opportunity to sign up. On a positive note, the cancellation policy does help to motivate you to stick to your scheduled workout!

We have a 12 hour cancellation policy. If you wish to cancel a class, you must do so at least 12 hours before the class start time and the class will be credited back to your account.  Classes must be cancelled through your online account or our app, and not by calling. 

InstaPhysique has two types of cancellation charges, Late Cancel and No Show. For those on Unlimited membership options – a Late Cancel charge of $15 will occur if you cancel within 12 hours of a class start time. A No Show charge of $20 occurs when you are signed up for a class and do not attend. If you are using a class-count membership, or class package, you will los your credit by late canceling. Regardless of your package, you will be charged a $20 fee for no-showing, so please log in and cancel your class online or via the app.

Will my spot be given away if I am late to class? What is your late policy?

IF YOU ARE A NEW CLIENT

We require all new clients arrive 10 minutes early for their first class in order to receive a proper introduction to the Megaformer and the Coach. This is required for your safety reasons, as well as the overall class experience. If you do not arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of your first class, we will help to get you rescheduled. We thank you in advance for understanding!

IF YOU ARE A RETURNING CLIENT

If you are not a new client, it is recommended that you arrive no later than 5 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. We understand life happens, and you may arrive late for class.  Please note that if you arrive more than 5 minutes after class has started, your spot may be given to a waitlisted client. We ask that, in general, you do not arrive more than 10 minutes late for a class (even if it is not waitlisted) as it can disrupt the class experience for others.

Can I Waitlist for a Megaformer session that is full?

Absolutely and we recommend doing this!

Adding yourself to the waitlist is the same as booking a class. You may do so by following the booking instructions on our live schedule.

Clients who sign up for the waitlist are automatically enrolled into the class they are waitlisted for as enrolled customers cancel their reservations.This happens automatically up until the 12 hour cancellation window, and the client is notified with an email.

Within 12 hours of the class, clients are not automatically enrolled as customers cancel reservations. As class time nears, be sure to check the schedule to see if a spot has opened. 

Please remove yourself from the waitlist when the class time nears, if you can no longer attend. Putting yourself on a waitlist, uses up your class if you are on a class package or membership.

Thus, you cannot book multiple classes in one day. The system allows 1 class booking per person, per day.

Your class is returned to your account if they do not make it into the class, or when you remove yourself for the waitlist.

Is this like Pilates?

The Megaformer (or 'Mega') is not a Pilates machine and we do not teach Pilates on it. While we do have a couple of things in common (both workouts are low-impact and utilize a machine), that is where the similarities end.

Our classes are athletic, fast-paced and intense, but we move with control and minimize impact on joints. Though both workouts are low impact, ours is performed at a much higher intensity with cardiovascular elements.

Think of our workout as a healthy alternative to high-impact or HIIT training.  You get the intensity and results, without the impact!

Why should I INSTAROLL?

The INSTAROLL lymphatic massage treatment is designed to cleanse the body by effectively eliminating toxins which promotes a healthier immune system. The treatment also reduces tissue swelling, significantly stimulates blood circulation, reduces cellulite, cuts inches from your waist, while improving the elasticity of your skin. This is an amazing massage post-workout, or as a stand-alone treatment. It trains, tones, and shapes the body without the need for vigorous exercise! For best results, we recommend regular weekly sessions. Clients looking for visible results will Roll 2-3 times per week.

What's the difference between the INSTAROLL and foam rolling?

The INSTAROLL is a high-tech health and fitness system that reduces cellulite, aids in weight and fat loss, detoxifies your body, improves your skin, improves your muscle tone, improves your circulation, and reduces water retention! Unlike a foam roller, the machine moves at optimal speeds and is programmed according to the principles of lymphatic drainage. All you have to do is lean against it, follow the program on the attached screen, and let it do its work. The included infrared and collagen lighting will help warm muscles up, reduce inflammation and improve the tone and elasticity of your skin.

What is the lymphatic system and how does INSTAROLL help it?

Your lymphatic system is a crucial part of your immune system. It essentially acts like a pump that helps move stagnant waste and fluid throughout the body. Bacteria, toxins and cancer cells collect in lymph fluid before being flushed from your body.

When the body is not getting a lot of movement or is stagnant, our lymphatic system can get sluggish. This means feeling tired and a slower metabolism, among other things.

An INSTAROLL massage treatment is designed to cleanse the body by effectively driving out toxins and thus promoting a noticeably healthier immune system. The machine’s rollers are set at an optimal speed and direction to send lymph fluid toward the lymph nodes.

How will I feel after an INSTAROLL session? Are there any side effects?

You will feel relaxed, rejuvenated & detoxified! You may feel some itchiness during the treatment. This is a normal reaction due to increased circulation and lactic acid release. There may be some discomfort as fascia is released, you may experience mild bruising your first session, and it is normal to feel some soreness afterwards. You will know it is working!

Who shouldn't use the INSTAROLLER?

Lymphatic drainage should not be used by people with acute inflammation, malignant tumors, deep vein thrombosis or major heart problems. Because of its effect on the immune system, people with cancer, diabetes, thyroid or kidney problems, asthma or epilepsy should seek medical advice before treatment. You also should not use the Roll machine if you are currently pregnant.

What do I wear and anything else I should know before my INSTAROLL appointment?

Regular socks are required for your session. We suggest wearing form-fitting clothing that covers most of your body (i.e. leggings and a tight long sleeve shirt are ideal). We want to try to avoid bare skin on the infrared rollers. Wear light colored clothing so that the infrared light can penetrate to skin level. If you have long hair, wear it up to avoid any catching. We require you to wash your hands prior to treatment, and clean socks are required as well.

It is important to stay hydrated to allow body to optimally flush out toxins. Be sure to drink a lot of water before and after your treatment! You also may wish to eat a light meal or protein bar 1 hour before your session.

How can I prepare for my Infrared Sauna session & what do I wear/bring?

How to prepare: Wait at least 1-2 hours after eating before beginning an infrared sauna session. Hydrate with a minimum of 8 ounces of water to prepare for an increase in core body temperature.

When you arrive: you will choose from six pre-set programs that each deliver specific blends of near, mid, and far infrared for individual health benefits that include cardio, detox, weight loss, relaxation, pain relief, or anti-aging.

What to bring: A clean cover up/clothing is required. To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. A bamboo carbon body wrap, cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options. Bring a water bottle to drink pre and post session.

We provide you with:You will sit on a clean towel to absorb sweat and keep the sauna clean. We offer complimentary bath towels infused with CELLIANT that reflect the body’s infrared back into the body, enhancing and extending the benefits of infrared before, during, and after your session.  We also provide body wipes, and ask that you wipe your feet prior to entering the sauna.

Post-session: Rehydrate with 8 to 24 oz. of water or electrolyte drink to replenish fluids. You may dry off with the provided towel, then cool down naturally or with a shower. You should also schedule your next sauna session!

What is Chromotherapy & Sound Therapy?

Your can also experience the benefits of both color ("chromotherapy") & sound therapy during your sauna session.

Chromo­therapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. Chromotherapy works on various energy points to help the body re-establish its natural balance. It’s a lighting feature that paints the sauna with colors from the sun’s visible light spectrum, creating an artful atmosphere with a balance-bringing effect.

Sound therapy i.e. Acoustic Resonance Therapy (A.R.T.). A.R.T. combines the healing effects of sound and vibration to harmonize all systems of the body bringing you to a deeper state of relaxation. Attached at specific locations in the sauna, the A.R.T. system uses an amplified audio signal to resonate sound waves to the surface of the sauna. Listening to soothing music and feeling it resonate throughout the body stimulates the body’s natural relaxation response. It feels like light touch massage during your sauna session. If you prefer to listen to a podcast or just chill out, the choice is yours!

How often should I use the Infrared Sauna?

One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes.

When will I start sweating in the Infrared Sauna? Why is temperature different than a traditional sauna?

Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying due to the deep cellular penetration of the infrared wavelengths. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much. If you lymphatic system is sluggish, you will not sweat as much.

Whereas with a traditional sauna you are focused solely on heated air and sweating, with infrared it is not the heat level that is effective...it is the penetrating waves of near mid and far infrared. The variety in temps and wavelengths in our full-spectrum sauna allow customers to get an array of benefits from the infrared depending what their goals are for each session.  

Infrared saunas emit lightwaves that penetrate the body to stimulate the health benefits from within at a cellular level. In our full spectrum sauna, each near, mid, and far wavelength is specifically programmed to optimize specific health benefits. This is not a sauna experience where you are just incrementally watching temps rise - they will fluctuate based on the combination of wavelengths to match the desired health benefits. The optimal temperature of infrared in our full-spectrum Sunlighten sauna is between 100-130 degrees Fahrenheit, and traditional saunas are typically heated to 150F - 210F.  So, hotter doesn’t always mean better!  

Important to note:

  • Infrared heats the body directly rather than simply heating the air. This provides a deep, penetrating heat at lower temps.
  • Enjoyable heat = longer session = more benefits.
  • Infrared penetrates human tissue, and the energy it delivers is just the right nudge cells need to stimulate warmth, growth and release.
  • Infrared is effective at a low, soothing temperature.
  • It is completely healthy and safe for all living things. It’s even used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.

Can I use the sauna while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated, and you could overheat.  

In general, it is safe to use while breastfeeding, however we always recommend you consult with your physician.

Should I use the sauna before or after a workout or massage?

Infrared sauna therapy is incredibly beneficial to do both before and after!

Massages: Infrared sauna helps detoxify after a massage, or relax before a massage session.
