Question 1

Can I drop by and find out more?

Accepted Answer

While we would love for you to stop in and take a tour of one of our studios, our administration and bookings are fully online. To keep class prices competitive, we do not maintain a full time receptionist. However, we do answer the phone (when we are not teaching) and are always happy to discuss specific questions. If you are new to Pilates and want some dedicated guidance, you can schedule an introductory private session to address your goals, needs and concerns one-on-one.

Question 6

What is the difference between working out on specialized equipment vs. working out on mat?

Accepted Answer

Pilates method includes both mat-work and specialised apparatus. Mat-work exercises are performed with gravity as a primary source of the resistance. Small apparatus as bands, balls, circles, weights could be added to maximize toning results.

On the other hand, Pilates specialised equipment, like the Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair, can act as a support system for the body by helping to keep proper form and body alignment. The spring as a part of the specialised Equipment adds the resistance to each exercises. Different loads  affect and challenge different muscle groups. Equipment gives unlimited programming possibilities, makes the sessions challenging but fun, and most importantly allows people of all capabilities (including those injured) to  safely complete the sessions.
