GROUP PILATES CLASS SCHEDULE
|
Group classes are organized in units of 3 to 6 students. The experience levels of your co-students may vary from beginner to novice. But, no worries, you will be following your own workout, at your own pace, with no presure to complete a particular number of exercises. You will surely love your workouts. For your benefit if you have very little or no experience in Pilates, you will be required to take a number of individually supervised lessons, depending on your other fitness skills or fitness levels, to help you get familiarized with the equipment and the names of the exercises. This will help us specifically attend your particular needs and customize and personalize your workout. This will greatly serve you to advance in your ability and form and receive the best possible benefits possible. We are deeply committed to your getting the most out of your investment of time and money in your wellness and fitness through Pilates and our other services. Note: Many students like to begin with a friend versus doing privates. We welcome you to make this choice and start with one-on-two training should you like to train with a partner and/or share the costs. Bring your friend, partner or family member.

The Exercises: Pilates and yoga share similar goals, with both systems believing in individual progress in a non-competitive arena, with emphasis on stretching as well as strengthening of muscles. However, the Pilates system works the body as a whole, coordinating the upper and lower musculature with the body’s center. This dramatically improves strength, flexibility, posture and coordination. The Equipment: The most popular exercise repertoire in the world is the floor matwork, which, due to its accessibility, is found in health clubs, leisure centers or church halls. However, a fully equipped Pilates studio would have other spring and gravity based resistance equipment such as Reformers, Circles, Cadillac/Trapeze Tables, Wunda Chairs, Barrels, Ladder Barrels and other props. The most common piece of equipment in any Pilates studio is the "Reformer"(a moveable carriage for pushing and pulling). Invented in the 1940’s by Joseph Pilates, the older style reformers, traditionally used springs as resistance. However, manufacturers over recent years have introduced many innovations such as lightweight and modern materials, adjustability, and gravity resistance. This has lead to the Reformers being the most popular piece of Pilates equipment throughout the world today.
