Swan Dive Offers Free Pilates Sessions

In celebration of their eighth anniversary, Pilates instructors and massage therapists at Swan Dive Center for Pilates, 3302 Commercial Ave, Northbrook, are offering a free session to new customers.

As an introduction to the health benefits of using the best available Pilates equipment on the market, North Shore residents will receive a complimentary private Pilates session, valued at $85.00, with their first purchase through October. Also, customers scheduling a myofascial massage, $100.00, will win a free 55-minute Pilates session.

Co-owners Wendy Helton and Susan Pines, who established Swan Dive in September, 2006, said Pilates can address an enormous span of fitness goals—from improving a golf or tennis swing, with strength and flexibility exercises, to dealing with chronic pain. Beginners can feel successful within 10 sessions, they added.

Swan Dive Pilates instructors are certified in Pilates Method. Licensed massage therapist Iryna Pantelyuk offers Ben Benjamin orthopedic massage and myofascial release techniques.

Pilates sessions and therapeutic massage may be scheduled by contacting Swan Dive at 847-562-0100. For further information, please refer to their web site, www.swan-divepilates.com.
