Pilates Power

Pilates offers a tremendous workout to strengthen and tone your entire body or compliment your current workout.

Are you working out in a gym and not seeing the results you want? Are you looking to cross train with your weight training or cardio?  Or maybe you just feel disconnected from your body.  Pilates’ exercises offer a tremendous workout to strengthen and tone your entire body or compliment your current workout. Pilates’ exercises on the Reformer or The Cadillac can offer the same benefits as exercises done with traditional weights or machines by creating resistance. This is due to the Pilates machines’ springs and how the body’s muscles must overcome resistance which the springs create. The springs, like weights, can be adjusted to create more or less tension. Improving flexibility is an additional benefit of Pilates’ exercises which helps decrease injuries. Pilates is low impact and easy on the joints and is known to decrease back issues.  Pilates is offered to all levels and will connect your mind, body and spirit.
