Getting started
Reformer Pilates is suitable for everyone, but it usually takes a few sessions to get comfortable with the equipment. Our intro package starts with a 25-minute session to discuss your fitness goals and help you get familiar with the equipment. If the introductory group classes don’t fit your schedule, please let us know, and we'll find a suitable time for you.
The package also includes 3 additional group sessions. Feel free to contact us with any questions!
How can pilates benefit you?
Decreases Back Pain
Pilates is a gentle workout that strengthens your core, improves flexibility, and enhances body awareness. It helps with posture and decreases back pain by targeting deep abdominal muscles that support the spine.
Ideal for those who sit for extended periods
This exercise method boosts overall movement and lowers the risk of injuries through controlled motions and stretches, increasing flexibility and joint mobility. It is beneficial for those who sit a lot by promoting proper alignment and better posture.
Great Stress Relief
Pilates fosters a mind-body connection by emphasizing focused breathing and precise movements, which improves concentration. The calm nature of the practice can also reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Enhances Movement as We Get Older
As we age, Pilates helps maintain balance and coordination by strengthening stabilizing muscles, making it vital for everyday movement. Many physical therapists recommend Pilates to assist recovery from injuries and prevent future issues. Plus, it’s adaptable for all skill levels, ensuring safety and accessibility for most individuals.
