A private offering inside Grand River Pilates Studio 

The idea behind River Loft

Traditional salons aren't for everyone.

The noise. The bright lights. The constant conversation. The feeling of being rushed from one appointment to the next.

Riverloft is your alternative.

Here, appointments are private. You'll never be sitting beside strangers or competing with a busy salon atmosphere. Whether you enjoy chatting or prefer a quiet appointment, your experience is shaped around what helps you feel most comfortable.

✓  Private one-on-one appointments

✓  A quiet, low-distraction environment

✓  No crowded waiting areas

✓  No pressure for conversation

✓  Appointments that never feel rushed

✓  Time set aside just for you

Frequently asked questions
Is River Loft really private?

Yes. Each appointment is booked exclusively for one guest at a time in a dedicated room, no shared stations, no other clients in the space during your visit.

How do I get to River Loft within the studio?

River Loft sits inside Grand River Pilates Studio. Come through our main doors, to the top floor and follow the signs to River Loft. 

What are your hygiene and sanitation practices?

All tools are professionally cleaned and disinfected between every client, and every workstation is sanitized before your appointment begins.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Arrive a few minutes early to settle in. We'll talk briefly about what you're looking for, then the rest of the time is quiet, no pressure to chat if you'd rather relax.

What's your cancellation policy?

We ask for 24 hours' notice for any cancellation or reschedule. Since each appointment holds the entire room for you, late cancellations are subject to a $30 fee.
