One-on-One Training — After an initial consultation and fitness assessment, an individual program is designed to meet your needs and goals, addressing any injuries, weaknesses, chronic pain, tightness, or aesthetic concerns you may have. Post-rehabilitation functional conditioning programs are available for those recovering from injuries or other conditions requiring physical therapy. When appropriate, we will work closely with your physical therapist or doctor to assure proper program development.

Duets — Groups of two can work with a trainer learning both mat work and exercises on the Pilates equipment. This is an economical way to experience Pilates. It is recommended that duet partners be at the same skill level.

Unsupervised Workouts — Independent workouts are unsupervised sessions on the equipment. Before you start to work out on your own, you’ll need to have at least 15-20 one-on-one sessions and the approval of your trainer. You will have a detailed program description to work from during your workouts. Unsupervised Workouts are by appointment each month to assure availability of equipment. You will be trained on equipment setup to assure your safety.

Pilates Spring Board   —  Classes in groups of four are appropriate for any age or fitness level.  The Spring Board is designed from the Pilates Cadillac apparatus. The springs provide a “closed chain connection” which allows you to better isolate muscle groups and to feel the deeper core connection than the classic mat exercises, but are based on the same principles.  Prior Pilates experience is required — see recommendation below.  Day and evening classes are available.

The section under Body Rolling has changed slightly so you will need to insert this new paragraph around the photo as done before.

Yamuna® Body Rolling  —  Body Rolling is muscle release work using an inflated ball that is approximately 6-9” in diameter.  It elongates muscles, creates space in joints, and increases vital energy.  Body Rolling helps prevent repetitive motion injuries, improves flexibility, posture, and alignment, increases range of motion, muscle definition, and blood flow to bones and muscles.  Because it is a weight bearing activity, it can also increase bone density.  Body Rolling complements the Pilates work and is sometimes introduced in the one-on-one training or offered on selective Saturdays at specially scheduled times throughout the year.  Anyone can participate in a Body Rolling workshop.

It is recommended  that new students with any physical problems or injuries, wanting to attend spring board classes, take at least 5 sessions with a trainer for fitness assessment and to learn the Pilates fundamentals with a trainer before starting group classes.  These sessions allow us to evaluate your abilities and limitations, and to acquaint you with proper execution of exercises.  Twice a week strengthening and stretching is the minimum anyone should do to stay fit.
