The
Pilates method is a comprehensive exercise system performed on the
mat and on equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. The benefits of
Pilates training are:
Elongated lean and defined muscles
Core Stability and Strength
Increased Flexibility
Improved Posture
Stress relief
Flatter and firmer abs
Increased turnout for dancers
Reduce the risk of injury in athletes and dancers
Stimulates the mind and elevates the spirit
Eliminates excess tension and strain on the joints
The Pilates method is suitable for all ages an all body types. Physically
you can expect a total change in your body and your energy level will
dramatically improve as well. After 10 sessions you will feel different.
After 20 sessions you will look different. After 30 sessions you will
have a new body.
Two to three pilates sessions a week is a good balance. You
can incorporate any of the Pilates sessions into that number. You
will be pleasantly suprised at how well you begin to feel and look
after only a few weeks. Remember that consistency is the key to change.
It is recommended that your first Pilates session is a private session,
but not necessary. This will introduce you to the Pilates apparatus;
we will be able to assess and evaluate your bodys strengths
and weaknesses and find outwhat your goals are. Once you have completed
one private session you will be more comfortable with the language
and philosophy of Pilates.
Pilates is a completely different type of exercise system. At times
you might be asked to work slowly in order for you to feel the movement.
Getting in touch and feeling the muscles youre exercising is
very important. If you put the time into your workouts we promise
you results.
The Pilates equipment includes: the Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze Table,
Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, Baby Arc, Magic Circle, and Ladder Barrel. |
