      <image:title>About - What is Pilates and what will it do for me?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pilates is a full body workout focused on increasing overall strength, flexibility, stability, and balance within the body. The specific series of exercises are designed to challenge your entire body, but with a specific focus on the deep abdominal and back muscles. Practicing Pilates regularly improves posture and increases coordination, joint mobility, lung capacity, balance, and core strength. Pilates is used to regain strength after injury or pregnancy as well as a rehabilitation program for lower back pain, and neck problems.  Used as a form of cross training, athletes such as runners, tennis players, golfers, triathletes, professional football, basketball and baseball players have noticed drastic changes in their performances with Pilates. Consistency is key when the goal is to change your body. That’s why we offer three different options to train with us: Private Sessions Small Group Sessions Small Group Classes</image:caption>

Our group classes studio features Gratz apparatus, the original manufacturer of authentic Pilates equipment. Gratz is widely recognized as the Gold standard for classical Pilates apparatus Reformer:  Our Pilates Reformer classes offer a dynamic, full body workout using resistance-based spring work on a moving carriage that builds strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. This class is designed for all levels, variations will be offered for each exercise and the class moves at an intentional pace to support progression. Mat/Tower:  Our Pilates Mat/Tower classes combine the traditional floor-based Mat system exercises with the vertical spring resistance of a Pilates half Cadillac, also known as a Tower. The class may also include classical Pilates props, including Magic Circles, weights and balls.  This class is designed for all levels and uses spring resistance from multiple angles to build strength, improve stability and mobility, and deepen your core connection, balance, and body awareness.</image:caption>
