Frequently Asked Questions
Studio
Megaformer
-
Our 45-minute Megaformer class follows the Lagree Method, a high-intensity, low-impact workout on a Megaformer machine. This method strengthens, tones, and sculpts your body using slow, controlled movements for maximum muscle engagement.
-
While it may look similar, Lagree utilizes a specially designed Megaformer, which incorporates resistance training alongside high-intensity interval techniques to provide a comprehensive full-body workout that promotes muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness differing from Pilates.
-
Absolutely! We recommend starting with a Foundations class, designed specifically for beginners to introduce you to the Lagree method and the Megaformer. You can take this class as many times as needed until you feel ready for regular classes. Our expert instructors will guide you through the fundamentals, ensuring you feel confident and supported.
-
We recommend wearing activewear that allows you to move freely, leggings or fitted shorts and a supportive top are ideal. Grip socks are required for safety and stability on the Megaformer (available for purchase or rent at the studio if needed). Avoid loose clothing, as it may interfere with your movements. Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in!
Contrast Therapy
-
We recommend wearing breathable clothing such as a swimsuit, gym shorts, or formfitting activewear. Be sure to stay hydrated during your session, use our water refill station to fill up your water bottle! While we provide towels for your convenience, feel free to bring your own if you prefer. We suggest bringing easy-to-change clothes and any personal items you may need post-treatment! We also provide plastic bags for your wet clothes following your session.

Infrared saunas promote detoxification, muscle recovery, improved circulation, stress relief, and skin health by using gentle heat to penetrate deep into the body. They also support relaxation and overall wellness by reducing inflammation and boosting metabolism.
Cold plunges help reduce inflammation, ease muscle soreness, and improve circulation for faster recovery. They also boost mood, energy, and focus by triggering endorphins and norepinephrine. Regular cold exposure can strengthen the immune system, enhance stress resilience, and support better sleep.
By alternating between the heat of the infrared sauna and the cold plunge, you maximize the recovery, detoxification, and overall wellness benefits of both therapies.
-
For the ultimate experience, we recommend spending 20-25 minutes in the infrared sauna to relax and detox, followed by a quick rinse in the shower, and then a 2-5 minute cold plunge to invigorate and refresh your body. You’ll have 50 minutes total in the room to enjoy your session.
For added relaxation, you can connect to the room's Bluetooth speakers and play your favorite music, podcast, or meditation.
-
We require at least 5 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a Contrast Therapy session. Cancellations made less than 5 hours before your session time will result in the loss of that session. This ensures we can offer the spot to someone else and respect the time of our team and members.
-
If you have medical conditions like heart issues or high blood pressure, please consult a doctor before using.
If you're pregnant, we recommend consulting with your doctor before using the infrared sauna or cold plunge.
Red Light Therapy
-
We recommend wearing breathable clothing such as a swimsuit, gym shorts, or formfitting activewear. While we provide towels for your convenience, feel free to bring your own if you prefer. Be sure to stay hydrated during your session—use our water refill station to fill up your water bottle or purchase boxed water. Protective eyewear is available for purchase in the studio, though it is not required for the session.
-
Red light therapy helps improve skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing skin tone. It promotes faster healing, reduces pain and inflammation, and supports muscle recovery. It can also improve circulation, reduce acne, and boost mood and overall well-being.
-
We suggest 20 minutes in the red light bed, with 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after to get settled and close up. You’ll have 30 minutes total in the room to enjoy your session.
For added relaxation, you can connect to the room's Bluetooth speakers and play your favorite music, podcast, or meditation.
-
We require at least 5 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a Red Light Therapy session. Cancellations made less than 5 hours before your session time will result in the loss of that session. This ensures we can offer the spot to someone else and respect the time of our team and members.

We limit class sizes to 10 people to allow instructors to give clients personalized, individual attention.
If a class is full, you can join the waitlist. If you don’t get a spot or remove yourself more than 12 hours before class, your class or wellness will be returned back to your account. If you’re added to a class or wellness session, you’ll receive an email confirmation. However, anyone added from the waitlist who does not attend will be considered a “no-show” and follow the cancellation policy.

To verify your waitlist status, login to your Ritual account and select My Classes. There it will confirm your spot in line and give you the option to remove yourself if you do not think you will be able to attend.

Out of respect for our members, Ritual has a strict 12 hour cancellation policy. Classes can be canceled through our app or website. If you cancel before the 12 hour window, there is no penalty and any eligible credits will be returned to your account. If you cancel during the 8 hour window, you will forfeit the credit and be charged a late fee of $20.
