What we offer
We offer Pilates and GYROTONIC® in either private or semi-private (duos/trios) settings. Our instructors are certified in a range of modalities and work closely with each client to fully customize their training program.
It is important to us to spend time answering any questions, discussing your goals and giving you a chance to experience our studio and the Pilates and/or GYROTONIC® systems. We want to help you decide the best plan of action when joining us and how you can get the most out of our studio. Contact us to get started.
Pilates
There are over 500 exercises that incorporate six principles: breath, centering, concentration, control, precision, and flow. In the beginning, exercises are broken down into more isolated movements called‚ fundamentals. The goal of these smaller exercises is to help create awareness and control in each area of the body. As clients progress, they begin to integrate these fundamentals into more complex exercises.
The focus of Pilates is on quality of movement, rather than quantity so that no muscle group is overworked or neglected and the body is worked as a whole. The remarkable design of the equipment both challenges and supports the body as it learns to move more efficiently, powerfully, and fluidly. Because sessions are almost never exactly the same, the mind and body are continuously challenged.
Private and small group sessions are offered so that workouts can be tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals.
GYROTONIC
The GYROTONIC® Expansion System embraces some of the movement principles found in yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi. The circular, spiraling motions allow the user to increase spinal flexibility, stretch and strengthen muscles, decompress joints and strengthen ligaments and connective tissues throughout the body.
The primary piece of equipment, the GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower, can be adjusted to meet the needs of people with varying body types and fitness levels. The exercises allow complete freedom of movement without jarring or stressing the joints. As in Pilates, the equipment is designed to challenge and support the body.
