We offer 5 different types of equipment classes, from beginner to advanced levels. Equipment classes are limited to 6 students per class. Pilates equipment is spring-tensioned, and uses eccentric contraction to create strong, long and lean muscle. The design of the equipment allows for a variety of movements and positions, including sitting, standing, lying down, upside down, forward bending, back bending, twisting, side bending and more. You will feel the deep core conditioning of Pilates as you engage the springs with your abdominal muscles.
There are over 500 exercises in the Pilates repertoire, making classes challenging and fun. Each piece of Pilates equipment offers unique qualities to the movements, and all of the exercises are built upon the same fundamental principles. Get started today with our special introductory offers for new clients.
All classes are 55 minutes in length, unless otherwise noted. Due to small class sizes, reservations are recommended to guarantee your space in class.
Reformer Class
The Reformer incorporates springs, straps, bars and pulleys to deeply strengthen and condition your whole body. It is distinguished by its contained structure, which intensifies the spring resistance, and a sliding platform that connects your movements directly to the springs.
Tower Class
The Tower is an open structure that incorporates mat, springs, poles and bars to provide full body conditioning. It includes a dynamic series of arm and leg work through spring resistance. Your spine rolls and bends in various directions with the support and resistance of the springs. This strengthens and conditions your abdominal and back muscles, and restores your spinal mobility.
Chair Class
The Chair is a compact union of springs attached to a moving lever. It provides the least amount of support, which helps build core stability and full body strength. It incorporates a challenging series of standing exercises that improve balance and coordination.
Equipment Class
Each week, students work on a different piece of Pilates equipment, rotating between the Reformer, Tower and Chair.
