WHAT WE DO

We all know that Pilates helps release tension and pain, reeducates movement patterns and develops a balanced body that is toned, flexible and strong. It specifically targets the abdominal muscles in every exercise, reprogramming the body to initiate all movements from a strong center. Pilates work simultaneously lengthens and strengthens your muscles, which in turn decompresses your joints and spine leading to improved health and vigor. All of these aspects are great benefits of doing Pilates and you will certainly experience these at our studio.

Our advantage lies in the unspoken benefits. 

Pilates gives you an opportunity to let go of old patterns and notions to attain an abundance of possibility.

Within ourselves, we can discover an area of inner space; a new capacity. Inviting suggestions to breathe, release and expand ourselves, helped by the tactile support of a mat, springs, pulleys, straps, push bars, barrels and chairs to conjure up new sensations and to experience what once seemed undoable. Pilates offers the opportunity for balance - change occurs inside you, preparing you to face the challenges of the 21st century.

We all want a good-looking, healthy body that can handle the demands of our daily life with what Joseph Pilates called “spontaneous zest and pleasure.” This is what we offer everyone at the Pilates Fitness Studio.
