GETTING STARTED WITH PILATES
Starting Pilates can be daunting, so we offer our new clients three different ways to get started.
Privates are the best way to start because of the individual focus of these sessions. In a private session you work one-on-one with the instructor. The workout is tailored specifically for you based on your age, fitness goals, and the presence of any prior injuries.
Another option to start is with our beginner classes (also known as Reformer classes). These classes include equipment and matwork and are for those who want to fully experience Pilates but wish to make a smaller initial investment.
We also offer a beginner mat class for those who want to get started on the mat only.

I have recently started to practice Pilates. The practice of Pilates has provided me with a better awareness of the position of my body as I work. I also find that Pilates has given me increased strength in core muscles that allow me to maintain better posture as I work. Together, I feel these benefits will provide me with a more comfortable, productive career."
