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, dedicated to providing 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.

Levels
Levels
Classical Pilates has levels to ensure safety, set clear expectations, and keep the class moving at an appropriate pace:
Group Apparatus 1 (Foundations): foundational exercises for newer Pilates practitioners or those with injuries and/or limitations
Group Apparatus 2 (Intermediate): exercises are accessible and appropriately challenging for most clients at a moderate pace to hone in on proper alignment and form
Group Apparatus 3 (Intermediate/Advanced): additional challenge to exercises at a faster pace, need to know the Foundations and Intermediate exercises well.
The time it takes to move up to a higher level varies from person to person. Some people may stay in Intermediate classes for years, while others may move up to Advanced after a few months.

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 Group Apparatus 3 classes will feel most successful in this class, however, Group Apparatus 2 clients are welcome to attend. 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.
