Welcome to the Studio!
Pilates = healthy, strong, resilient, energetic bodies
At the studio we specialize in small group (5:1) and private (1:1) personalized Pilates training where we are dedicated to provide the utmost attention and service so you can successfully reach your health and fitness goals.
In every session we apply kinesiology, which is a modern scientific understanding of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and neuroscience of human movement and function. We use the proven classical Pilates method to change the way your body moves and functions, helping every aspect of your life.

Small Group (5:1) Pilates Apparatus
We keep our group classes very small with a maximum five clients allowing for a personal training focus which increases the effectiveness of your workout. Each class emphasizes building strength, endurance, coordination, balance, mobility, and core stability utilizing the traditional Pilates method on the equipment (called apparatus).
Each workstation has a reformer with tower conversion, wunda chair, step barrel, along with a variety of helpful Pilates props. Feel confident you are guided through an effective workout that brings results with lots of encouragement and guidance on your form.

Levels
Levels
Classical Pilates has levels to ensure safety, set clear expectations, and keep the class moving at an appropriate pace:
Foundations: foundational exercises for newer Pilates practitioners or those with injuries and/or limitations
Intermediate One: exercises are accessible and appropriately challenging for most clients at a moderate pace to hone in on proper alignment and form
Intermediate Two: additional challenge to exercises at a faster pace, need to know the Foundations and Intermediate One exercises well.
Advanced: extra challenge for athletes, Pilates professionals, and clients who have been practicing for many years
The time it takes to move up to a higher level varies from person to person. Some people may stay in an Intermediate One class for years, while others may move up to Intermediate Two after a few months.

Intermediate ONE (Level 2) classes move at a moderate pace to allow for precision of movement and modifications to increase whole body strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, and core stability. More time is allotted for greater explanation and demonstration while working out with intro, level 1, and level 2 Pilates exercises. This class uses the Reformer, Tower, Chair, and Barrels, as well as, classical Pilates props (Toe Corrector, Foot Corrector, Breath-a-cizer, Pilates balls, Pilates rings, and Bean Bag Roll Up Device).
We require at minimum completing the intro series or three privates before attending level 2 classes. Need to feel comfortable standing on wooden platform during side splits and lunges.

Intermediate TWO (level 3)
Intermediate TWO (level 3) classes move at a strong moderate pace and are perfect for experienced participants who can transition quickly. This is a solid level 3 class where each client can expect to challenge their entire body by using a variety of Pilates apparatus (Reformer, Tower, Barrel, Chair) and classical Pilates props (Toe Corrector, Foot Corrector, Breath-a-cizer, Pilates balls, Pilates rings, and Bean Bag Roll Up Device).

Advanced (level 4)
At the Advanced level expect to move at a demanding pace. Your whole body will be challenged. Clients need to know the equipment well to change springs and settings quickly to move at a constant flowing pace. At this level, we work on level 1-4 exercises on the Pilates apparatus while introducing a handful of level 5 Pilates exercises while utilizing the Reformer, Barrel, Tower, and Chair, as well as, classical Pilates props (Toe Corrector, Foot Corrector, Breath-a-cizer, Pilates balls, Pilates rings, and Bean Bag Roll Up device).

Pilates+Cardio (multi-level)
This invigorating class combines traditional and contemporary Pilates exercises with strategically placed cardio intervals using the jumpboard, bosu, and sitting box. The jumpboard is a fun piece of Pilates equipment that is placed near the reformer’s footbar so you can “hop” while being 100% supported on the carriage. The bosu balance trainer develops balance, core strength, and is used for fun cardio sequences that are lower impact. The intensity is higher than regular Pilates apparatus classes, but because of the style of exercises all movements can be modified to suit most abilities. This class will strengthen your entire body, as well as, get your heart rate up.
Because of the faster pace clients who regularly attend Intermediate TWO (level 3) and Advanced (level 4) classes will feel most successful in this class, however a strong Intermediate ONE (level 2) client would also enjoy this class. Need to change equipment quickly, feel comfortable standing on wooden platform during side splits and lunges, and feel comfortable balancing on Reformer in kneeling position.
