We Love Pilates

We believe feeling great in your body is life changing. The classical Pilates method strengthens and increases flexibility with minimal repetitions of precise exercises that culminate in a full body workout. Pilates is practiced on several types of equipment with the overall goal of strengthening and aligning the entire body. It achieves balance and symmetry by building strength in the weak spots and stretching out the tight spots. The result: standing taller, feeling stronger, and moving more freely through life. Pilates is appropriate for individuals at all levels of fitness.

What to Expect

Expect to be challenged and to feel great. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you can move in. Please avoid wearing clothing that’s excessively baggy. Pilates is practiced either barefoot or with socks. And, most importantly, have fun!
