THE
NOVA GLOW GUIDE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR FIRST CLASS
-
WHEN TO ARRIVE
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in, settle in, and begin to unwind. First-time clients will sign a liability waiver at check-in (or in advance) and get a brief orientation, so you can feel confident and supported from the moment you walk in. We invite you to silence your phone and take this time just for you.
-
LATE ARRIVAL
If you arrive after class has started, we allow a 5-minute grace period before we're no longer able to let you in — setup and safety cueing happen right at the start, so a late entry can disrupt the room for everyone else.
-
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear comfortable, form-fitted clothing that allows freedom of movement and helps your instructor see your alignment.
-
GRIP SOCKS
Required for all Nova (reformer) classes, for safety on the reformer's foot bar and carriage. Recommended, though not required, for Glow (mat) classes. Bring your own, or shop our curated selection at The Edit.
-
TOWELS
Required for all Glow (mat) classes. We provide the mats and props, but bringing your own towel, or renting one at the front desk for $2, keeps your practice comfortable in our heated room.
-
WATER
Hydration supports recovery and radiance. Filtered water is available in-studio for refills. Bottled water and other beverages are available for purchase at The Edit.
-
PAYMENT
Nova Glow is a cashless studio — we accept credit and debit only.
-
WHERE TO PARK
Limited street parking is available directly in front of the studio and around the building. Additional (free) parking can be found in the PACE Center lot across the street, and there are public parking spaces available in the Juniper lot behind the building. Downtown Parker can be busy, so we recommend allowing a few extra minutes to arrive, park, and settle in.
-
PERSONAL ITEMS
Cubbies are available for your personal belongings during class. They don't lock, so we recommend leaving valuables at home or in your car, but if you need a hand storing something during class, just ask us at the front desk. Nova Glow Studio isn't responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.
-
THE CLASSES
All Nova and Glow classes are 50 minutes long. Reformer classes are held in the Nova Studio; mat classes are held in the Glow Studio. Light Up (standalone red light) sessions run 20 minutes; Heat Up (solo infrared sauna) sessions run 40 minutes.
-
LIGHT UP
Light Up is self-serve — your twenty minutes are yours to use however feels good: stretch, meditate, or simply sit and let the light of our medical grade red light panels do the work. If you're sensitive to bright light, just ask the front desk for a pair of light-blocking glasses.
For best results, we recommend as much skin exposure as you're comfortable with — light works more effectively with less fabric in the way.
-
HEAT UP
Heat Up sessions take place in a single-person infrared sauna. Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and step out at any time if you feel overheated, lightheaded, or unwell.
For best results, we recommend as much skin exposure as you're comfortable with — heat works more effectively with less fabric in the way.
-
SAFETY & HEALTH
At minimum, please wear a sports bra and shorts (or the equivalent); Nova Glow is not a clothing-optional studio.
Please review our Terms of Service and liability waiver for contraindications and other health considerations before your first Glow class, Light Up session, or Heat Up session, and let our team know so we can help you make the most of your visit.
-
THE GLOW ROOM
Our Glow Studio is comfortably heated to 90–95°F using ceiling-mounted infrared panels, designed to support circulation and flexibility without feeling overwhelming. Every Glow class also includes a full-size, wall-mounted red light panel at each mat station. If you'd rather skip it, just ask your instructor to turn off the panel at your station — no need to explain why. If you're sensitive to bright light, light-blocking glasses are provided upon request. As with any heated class, stay hydrated, listen to your body, and don't hesitate to pause, modify, or step out at any time if you feel overheated, lightheaded, or unwell — just let your instructor know.
-
IF YOU'RE NEW TO PILATES
We welcome all experience levels. If you're new to reformer Pilates, we recommend starting with our complimentary Nova Intro class or a private session to get comfortable with setup, transitions, and safety. If the reformer feels intimidating, Glow Flow is a beautiful place to begin: an infrared-heated mat class focused on foundational strength, control, and body awareness in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Our instructors offer thoughtful guidance and modifications throughout every class, so you can move in a way that feels right for your body.
-
COMMUNICATION & CARE
Share any injuries, limitations, or prenatal details before class so your instructor can tailor your experience. If you're pregnant, please check with your doctor first — Glow, Light Up, and Heat Up all involve heat or light exposure that may not be right for pregnancy.
FAQ’S
-
Not at all. We offer classes designed to welcome beginners where you'll learn alignment, control, and breathing techniques that build confidence and body awareness from your very first class. If you’d like a more one-on-one introductory experience, you can book a private session with one of our amazing instructors.
-
We recommend 2–4 sessions a week, alternating between Nova and Glow for best results. Consistency is what moves the needle — expect to feel real changes in strength, posture, and stress within a few weeks.

Yes. Members may freeze a membership for up to 2 months total per calendar year, no fee, with 3 business days' notice — billing pauses and class access pauses together for the duration. If you're managing an injury, surgery, or pregnancy, we're happy to extend beyond the standard 2 months with a valid doctor's note.

From time to time, we photograph or film in the studio for marketing. If you'd rather not be included, just let our team know.
