Reformer Pilates
This athletic, full-body class focuses on strength, control, & intentional movement. Using the Reformer, we flow through thoughtfully sequenced exercises designed to build long, supportive strength while prioritizing joint health & longevity. Expect clear cueing, mindful pacing, & options that meet you exactly where you are.
Barre
Our barre class is a full-body, low-impact workout that blends strength, stability, and graceful movement. Using the barre, light weights, as well as bodyweight exercises, we move through carefully crafted sequences designed to tone muscles, improve posture, & enhance flexibility. Expect precise cueing, mindful pacing, & modifications that meet you exactly where you are.
Mat Pilates
Our signature Mat Pilates class is designed to challenge, energize, & restore. You’ll flow through a dynamic sequence using props like hand weights, ankle weights, resistance bands, gliders, Pilates balls, & rings. Each of the props will add depth, strength, & precision to your practice as well as that extra layer of spice! Expect full-body energy, clear instruction, & a class that’s anything but ordinary. Mats are always provided but feel free to bring your own.

"I’ve been with Reformer Republic studio for only 6 months, and I’ve been in love since my very first session! It’s such a charming and cozy space in the heart of downtown McKinney, and you can truly feel that the owner, Nikki, put her heart and soul into creating it. I also love that it’s not overcrowded — it feels more intimate. Also you’ll be amazed by how great every instructor is. Each of them has their own unique methods and approach. I highly recommend this studio to everyone! You will definitely love it!!"

"This is hands down the best Pilates studio I’ve ever tried! Nestled in the middle of downtown McKinney, the studio has top of the line reformers and you cannot beat the aesthetic. All the instructors really care about the clients and help you achieve personal goals. She also sells cute socks and merch! I won’t go anywhere else!"

"I love this studio so much! A friend introduced me to pilates a year ago, and I’m hooked! The studio is so beautiful in the heart of historic downtown McKinney. The owner, Nikki, does a fabulous job of not only teaching you the basics, but giving you the confidence to believe you can do something new and challenging. Pilates has entirely changed my physique and outlook on fitness. Nikki has created something special and coming back excites me week after week! My results are visible and undeniable! I love how confident and strong I feel after each class. 10/10 recommend the vibe and instruction offered by Nikki and her team!"

“I am absolutely obsessed with this Pilates studio! I began coming when I was 7 weeks postpartum with my 2nd baby, and found the best community and best workout ever! Every single instructor here is so talented, so kind, and so fun! I never worked out consistently before starting Pilates and had never tried Pilates before so I didn’t know anything coming in. All of the instructors here really focus on form, help with modifications when necessary and create completely unique classes each time! Highly recommend it if you're looking to join a Pilates studio. Bonus points it’s absolutely adorable and located in the heart of downtown McKinney.”

"I have been going for almost a year and have seen my body change and gain so much strength. After kids I needed to rebuild my core and tone up and this was the most welcoming and encouraging environment to do it in. So glad I found this special place!"

Of course!! Every class is open level & provides modifications for newer clients as well as variations for the advanced. We do require your first class be an INTRO (Foundations) class prior to taking a regular Reformer Class. Barre & other fitness classes do not require an intro.
I’ve never done Reformer Pilates before. Is that ok?
Most of our instructors are classically trained but we prefer a more contemporary style of teaching here at Reformer Republic. We suggest finding a strictly classical Pilates studio if that is what your vibe is.
Is this classical pilates?
Absolutely not! Feel free to join any of our barre classes with zero dance experience. Prepare to groove to the music!
Do I need a dance background to take barre?
Grip socks are required for both safety and sanitary reasons. Wearing them helps you stay strong on the equipment and helps us keep the studio and equipment as clean as possible for everyone! Please respect our request.
Why do you require grip socks for class?
YES! As long as you are cleared by a doctor to do so, it's great to give your body movement while pregnant, we highly encourage it.
If you are a new client but starting pregnant, we do require you to take private lessons instead of joining group classes. This is because we want to get to know your body & level prior. Otherwise we will see you once you're done being pregnant.
Can I take a class if I'm pregnant?
Memberships can be canceled anytime after month three, up to 30 days before your bill date on our website. Cancellations after the bill date will be applied to the following month. No refunds.
What if I wish to cancel my membership?
We love kids, but for safety reasons, cannot accommodate kids sitting in the waiting area while a caregiver takes a class.
Can I bring my kids with me?
If the main square is busy, head behind the bike shop (Cadence)/Mellow Mushroom OR the parking lot between the Yard and Cadillac. It is about a 2 minute walk from those to the studio, the weekends are much busier than the weekdays. Please plan accordingly, not being able to find parking is not a reason to no show.
Where do I park?
Yes, we do not have a public phone number. All of our communication is through email (info@reformerrepublicpilates.com). Please leave us an email with any questions, comments, & concerns you may have. We will get back to you during office hours -
Monday thru Friday 9-5pm
I can't find a phone number.
