What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of body conditioning created by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 20th century. Building upon deep abdominal and back strength, Pilates safely and effectively delivers optimal strength, flexibility, endurance, and posture without adding bulk or stress to your joints. Emphasis is placed on breath, alignment, control, and form. Quality, NOT quantity, is the key.
Pilates is offered in the following settings:
- Private Sessions are the best way to integrate the Pilates methods into the body. Our experienced instructor will create an individualized workout for your body’s needs in this personal, one-on-one setting.
- Partner Sessions are for two people. In this partner session format, our instructors will create personalized workouts for you and your Pilates partner that gives personalized attention to both participants.
*Partner packages may not be shared. - Reformer Classes benefit from a semi-private session with three participants per class.
Private and Semi-Private Sessions*
Pilates Reformer is a total-body exercise that recruits every muscle fiber, leading to a strong core. It helps with joint stability and balance and strengthens the abdominals, glutes, and hamstrings; these support the spine and lengthen the hip flexors, which increase flexibility and improve posture.
