Fundamental Mat

Don't let the pace of this workout fool you! Though time is taken to discuss proper execution of the exercises, even the most experienced practitioners will find this class informative and challenging. The more knowledge you have, the more focused and intense your workouts will be. Improve posture and increase muscular strength and endurance.

Magic Circle

A moderately-paced class designed to add resistance and focus to both upper and lower body moves. This invigorating routine will challenge your strength, flexibility and core stability, as well as increase power and endurance with the sprung-steel tension of the Fitness Circle resistance ring.

Flex Band®

Simulate the spring resistance of a Reformer workout with the Flex-Band exerciser. This challenging set of exercises tones and sculpts your arms, legs, back and torso.

Power Mat

For those who have mastered the fundamental mat work, Pilates Power Mat is a dynamic and energizing new way to exercise. Challenge coordination, strength and endurance as you move fluidly through the entire Essential mat repertoire of 35+ exercises in a 1-hour class. It is suggested that participants have a minimum of 3 private sessions or 10 mat classes under their belt before attempting this class, as basic principles and terminology will not be covered. This class is FAST!!

Toning Ball

This class incorporates the use of soft hand-held Weighted Balls with the STOTT PILATES™ Essential Matwork™ repertoire. The use of Weighted Balls will challenge awareness and strength of the entire upper quadrant, as well as core musculature.

BCB - Ball, Circle, Band

“BCB” offers a well-rounded and challenging workout that incorporates small apparatus to provide increased intensity and biofeedback. Though the flow of the class may be somewhat staccato, as compared to a standard Pilates mat class, you are assured a complete workout that will build core endurance, peripheral strength, 3-dimensional flexibility and spinal stability.

TOP

Reformer Level 1

Not just core conditioning; In this resistance-based workout we will touch on improved flexibility and strength for every one of your muscles, right down to your toes. Participants are required to complete a minimum of 6 mat classes and have a good understanding of neutral vs. imprinted spine alignment before participation. Approval for participation in Reformer classes is at the instructor's descretion. Please note, some individuals may require more experience before safely joining a Reformer class.

Cardio Reformer

Pilates itsself is not enough, unless you add our "Cardio Reformer" class to your workout regime. Get your heart rate up for optimal fat burning, while you simultaneously build long lean muscle, improve posture, and challenge your mind.

TOP

Open Gym

Anyone who has completed a minimum of 5 private training sessions, at our studio or elsewhere, may choose to participate in our Open Gym sessions. The Open Gym program provides a venue for self-directed practice, and an opportunity to improve upon the workout program that has been developed by your private session instructor.

Open Gym Sessions are NOT a substitute for private instruction. It is suggested that practitioners continue to participate in a minimum of four private sessions/month with their regular instructor, in order to evaluate their progress, set new goals and add to their repertoire of exercises.
