Pilates
Create a New Relationship With Your
Body
The Pilates-based method of conditioning is different than other
forms of exercise, with an increased emphasis on breathing AND
body awareness. To establish a strong foundation, we recommend
you begin with individual training sessions. One of our
qualified instructors will evaluate your needs through postural
analysis and muscle testing, introduce principles of movement
and stability which are the heart of the method, and teach
beginning exercises in a private environment.
Individual sessions will allow you to gain a deeper
understanding of the system, and provides an opportunity for
the trainer to personalize your routine, creating
modifications that keep the exercise safe and challenging.
After completing the introductory lessons, you can continue
with one-on-one training or find great success in a group
setting.
All classes are available to join with instructor approval
after completing introductory private lessons with an
instructor. If you are a current Pilates client, and are
joining us from another studio, please call to speak to an
instructor about the most appropriate class for your
experience level.
Individual Sessions [55 minutes]...South Windsor/Hartford
Working individually with a trainer is the quickest way to
reach your health and fitness goals. In private lessons,
clients have access to all of the Pilates apparatus, and
their instructor can create a routine, tailored to your
needs. Lessons are 55 minutes, and can be scheduled around
your availability. Half hour and 1 1/2 hour sessions are
also available.
Semi Private Sessions [55 minutes]... South
Windsor
Semi-private lessons are a more economical way to train,
while still receiving plenty of personal attention. Working
out with a friend (or two!) is a great way to bond and
motivate each other while working towards your fitness
goals. Couples and families looking to spend more quality
time together may also enjoy semi-private lessons. Duet (2
clients, 1 trainer) and Trio (3 clients, 1 trainer) may be
scheduled by calling 860.644.4455.
Group Reformer [50 minutes]... South
Windsor
Class consists of a mat-based warm-up and a fitness workout
on the reformer to provide a balanced, full-body workout.
Class size is limited to 6 to
ensure safety on the equipment. Reformer classes are geared
towards fitness rather than rehabilitation. If you are
returning from injury, we request that you schedule
individual training sessions to meet your specific needs.
Group Mat [50 minutes]...South Windsor
Build a strong foundation in Pilates, enhance your knowledge
and expand your repertoire. Keep track of how far you’ve
come by increasing your challenge. Core training class will
increase your muscular endurance, flexibility, and energy
level, while reducing pain and stiffness in muscles. If you
have a history of back pain, please speak with an instructor
about individual training to prepare you for group classes.
Group Chair [50 minutes]...South
Windsor
Put a new spin on your Pilates knowledge with the stability
chair workout. The chair can be the most challenging piece
of equipment to master because it provides a much smaller
base of support while working out. Our intermediate classes
are great for building functional core strength, athletic
conditioning, and improving balance and coordination.
Appropriate for clients with previous experience on the
reformer. Instructor approval required before joining.
