Who can attend? Anyone! All ages, genders, abilities, and physical conditions. Pilates exercises are also useful for injury prevention and post rehabilitation. Silver Pilates is now being offered to get those of you older than 50 that have fallen off the exercise regimen and needs a little extra assistance.

What to expect? After a free 40-minute consultation/introduction, you will begin your individualized (private, duet, trio, or group) session, which will consist of exercises and stretching on the Pilates apparatus specifically designed with your needs and goals in mind: post-rehabilitation, sport-specific training, fitness conditioning, and/or general conditioning.

Why should I try? Pilates exercise is one of the safest forms of activity, and yet it can also be the most demanding. The apparatus have been used for years in orthopedic and sports-based rehabilitation and in-fitness facilities.

What are the results? After the first session, you should expect to experience heightened postural awareness and feel more flexible as your body begins to adapt to the system. Each session will further benefit and shape your body.

How long is a session? Your Pilates session is 40-minutes for group classes, 60-minutes for privates, duets, and trios. Silver Pilates class session is 30-minutes. All classes require advance sign-up to reserve a spot in class.

What to wear? The body positions and movements of Pilates require certain clothing. Choose clothing that allows you to stretch and move without getting in your way or making it difficult to see your alignment. Pant or capris are recommended.  During the summers, please make sure shorts are long and form fitting.

Intelligent Movement is “Going Green.” I would like to leave this planet in better shape than I found it. By implementing green alternatives, I hope to inspire my clients and competitors to do the same. I am constantly improving my efforts to conduct business in environmentally-friendly ways. 

Green Works: I have purchased “Green Works” cleaning solution so we can breathe easy.  It is a natural dilutable cleaner made with biodegradable plant and mineral-based ingredients and cleans without leaving behind any harsh chemical fumes or residue.

Recycled Area: The studio is in a “recycled area” of the fitness area (formerly a racquetball room).  We kept the hardwood floors, added some electrical and placed parachute material half way up the wall to decrease noise and filter the light. Since, though I have turned out the overhead fluorescent lighting and have added floor lighting with CFL lights for a more soothing experience. 

Paperless: I am in the process of going paperless with your daily exercise sheets. 

If we all do our little part, we can achieve tremendous results!
