The Pilates Center
PILATESThe Pilates Center is a unique facility and offers a highly individualized Stott Pilates Program. Whether you want to take mat classes, Pilates on the stability ball, or reformer sessions you will find the individualized instruction you deserve. We limit our class size for both mat classes and our reformer sessions. This means you will get all the benefits Pilates offers with an emphasis on your safety in accordance with your physical abilities. How to get started To participate in our program each student must have one private hour-long session with the instructor. This session is vital for several reasons. First, it will allow the instructor to make an initial physical assessment. Second, you will learn a great deal about what Pilates is and determine if the program fits your needs and interests. Class Schedule New classes are forming so it is best for you to call for specifics. Currently we have sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Reformer sessions are by appointment.

There are over 500 exercises that can be performed on the reformer which can be modified to meet your needs. "Pilates on the Ball"If you have ever wanted to get in shape but were uncertain about weight lifting or if you do strength training all the time but would love to add some variety to your program - our “Pilates on the Ball” class is a perfect solution. So - what are the benefits of using a ball for training? You use your own body weight to gain strength instead of lifting weights. You will gain lean muscle You will increase your core stability (stomach and low back) You will improve your balance and posture You will increase your flexibility Stability Ball training works your muscles in a way that you cannot on a machine or with weights. It works your core muscles on almost every exercise. You will notice a difference in your posture and your coordination in many daily activities. It works much faster than doing traditional sit-ups and makes your muscles more lean and sculpted. What About Stretching On The Stability Ball? Stretching on the ball is different than any you have done before. You can achieve deeper stretches because you can put your body in different positions not possible on the floor. This is because the ball supports some of your body weight and reduces stress on joints. Stability balls are used in physical therapy and rehabilitation for just this reason. Another plus of taking a stability ball class is the pure fun you will have. It’s social, non-competitive and it really works. Call to learn the exact days and times. We also have burst resistant non-slip stability balls you may purchase or you can bring your own.
