mat class
Mat exercises were originally created by Joseph Pilates. Practiced correctly, these mat exercises are a powerful conditioning program for the entire body. On each exercise, substantial time is devoted to correct breathing, alignment and form. This program promotes functional strength of all the abdominal muscles along with the muscles of the back, resulting in strength and control that enhance your daily activities, sports and recreation. We provide props such as mats, rings, foam rollers, stretch bands, exercise balls, and balance discs to either make a move easier or to add a challenge.

reformer
This class utilizes the Pilates Reformers. The Reformer provides a full-body workout. You will work through a choreographed routine of challenging movements to strengthen, stretch and lengthen your body. Class size ranges from 3 to 7 students. Students must start with
private equipment and be approved by an instructor before entering this class.

private equipment
You will begin with an evaluation session with the trainer, which will include spine & gait analysis, an overview of the fundamentals of Pilates (breathing & abdominal techniques), and an introduction to each piece of equipment. Optimal results will be maintained with a regular schedule of 2-3 sessions per week. This is recommended for all new clients starting pilates.
