Who can do Pilates?

Workouts are for all ages and physical conditions regardless of your current fitness level. Sessions are tailored to your individual and specific needs. Modifications to exercises provide challenge for the newcomer and the experienced fitness enthusiast.

What to expect from Pilates?

You will learn a step by step method that builds upon core movements. Attention is on postural alignment and form. Instead of completing many repetitions of each exercise, the STOTT PILATES method concentrates on multiple exercises and fewer repetitions with more precise movement.

What is a Private Session?

Private Sessions are custom designed using specialized Pilates equipment for a non-impact workout that will increase muscular strength and flexibility, creating longer, leaner muscle. Sessions will improve posture, body alignment and will help prevent injury. Private training is also good for post rehab work to continue to strengthen effected areas. In addition, these sessions can be used for a detailed approach in transition to group classes.

What is a Mat Class?

Mat Classes involve exercises that are done while lying and sitting on a mat. The exercises involve strengthening, stretching and toning while emphasizing proper form. Small equipment for light resistance training may be added to the class. Reservations are required as the class size is limited.
