· Improves posture & coordination
· Increased circulation
· Stronger, longer, leaner muscles
· Enhanced performance (running, tennis, golf, life!)
Reformer Classes
We use exercise techniques to lengthen your body, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and strengthen your whole body. You work against spring resistance on the Reformer, which adds a whole new level of strength training to Pilates.
Chair Classes
The Pilates chair resembles a box with one side that can be pressed down against the resistance of springs, like a large pedal. Exercises are performed lying, sitting, and standing on the chair, as well as from positions to the sides of the chair. A truly challenging workout!
Tower of Power Class
We supply the tower you will be the power!
The “tower” utilizes spring tension to both aid the client as well as to add challenge. The tower utilizes spring-based resistance with the push-through bar, roll back bar, leg springs and arm springs to challenge and strengthen the entire body.
Pilates benefits everyone men, women, young, old, fit or injured.
It is a conditioning program that provides simultaneous stretching and strengthening of the deep abdominal and back muscles. Enhancing postural integrity and trunk stability that builds trim, toned bodies. This resistance control method focuses on developing and rehabilitating total body strength and flexibility.
Prevent injuries by increasing core strength, improving balance and by establishing a solid foundation, building your core strength from the inside out!
