What Is Pilates?

Created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, Pilates is a series of exercises designed to evenly condition the entire body. The work concentrates on the core muscles and learning how to incorporate them into every movement for proper alignment and support of the body. It simultaneously stretches and strengthens your body and increases range of motion throughout your joints. Pilates is a highly focused, technique based exercise that can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels, and performs.  With Pilates you will see improved posture, muscle tone, strength and flexibility. You will also notice improved performance in other activities whether it is a preferred sport or everyday life. With this safe yet challenging workout, you can enjoy a lifetime of fitness and activity.

“Transformative!”

“I am 84 but I feel like I am 48!”

- Lavonne G.

“At 65 I thought back pain was something I would have to learn to live with as a normal part of aging. I had tried physical therapy and back exercises with little relief. Since joining the The Pilates Studio two years ago I have been pain free, stronger and more physically active. The instructors at the studio are knowledgeable, encouraging and fun. It has been the best thing I have done for myself in retirement.”

-Mary W.

“Pilates empowers me and helps me feel stronger in my aging body. It gives me confidence and acceptance of my abilities in other areas of my life.”

"Love my Pilates mat class! Heather & Heather are awesome. They take the time to learn what your weaknesses & strengths are & help you build from there. Not to mention the atmosphere at the Pilates Studio is always positive & fun (yes you do have to “work” though). 😊 I also want to give a shoutout to their newest instructors, Lynzi & Paula who were trained & certified by The Pilates Studio. They are a great addition!"

-Amy Colburn

“Pilates has improved my flexibility, strength and posture. I have arthritis throughout my body and I always feel better after completing a Pilates session. I recommend Pilates to my friends and family.”

- Donna Loveland

“[Pilates] doesn’t bulk you up, just works on strengthening what you have. One aspect I love about Pilates is you don’t have to do a zillion repetitions to have it be effective.”

- Deb Mahr

“I enter the studio stressed… tired… frazzled… and for the entire class, I leave it all behind. I am not only doing something good for my body (a great workout, improving strength… flexibility… balance…), I am doing something even better for my mind. The weight of the world is gone. I leave feeling energized, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the world! Do something great for your body, mind, and soul! Try one of their classes today, regardless of age, ability, or experience. You will LOVE it!”
