In healthcare today, there are some forms we will need you to fill out for your first appointment.
Just click on “View Forms” below to view and print them out.
Yes! Although you should always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program, Pilates develops core strength, balance and symmetry in areas of the body that may have become misaligned due to an injury. A focus on postural awareness helps you relieve stress from your back.
Our certified instructors are trained in injury rehabilitation and prevention, and they have the added benefit of on-site physical therapists to consult when needed.
We are focused on resolving your injuries safely while improving your whole body fitness.
Possibly. While the goal of Pilates is overall body conditioning rather than muscle fatigue and exhaustion, what you feel after your session will depend on your body awareness and level of fitness.
While you may feel some soreness as your body adapts to new patterns of movement, you won’t experience debilitating soreness. Pilates will make you feel energized!
Pilates can help you achieve your weight loss goals, especially as you become more experienced. Beginners will move slower to learn the proper form and techniques to safely perform the more advanced exercises. As you become more advanced, the movements flow without stopping which provides a more aerobic workout.
No, remember it’s named after the man who created it, Joseph Pilates! Many elite, male athletes have used Pilates to improve their sports performance – LeBron James, Tiger Woods, NBA’s Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards, MLB’s Milwaukee Brewers and the NFL’s Detroit Lions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers, to name a few 😉
Joseph was inspired by both eastern and western philosophies while developing his method, so there are similarities between Pilates and yoga. Both methods focus on breath, core movement and connecting the body, mind and spirit. But Pilates is definitely exercise, focusing on dynamic movement rather than stillness.
You should wear snug, comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement.
Joseph developed and refined his various apparatus over many years, and this unique equipment helps provide an exercise experience like none you’ve ever done before. With an extensive repertoire of over 500 exercises for the Cadillac, the Reformer and the Wunda Chair, you’ll never be bored! The equipment is very safe when you’re learning how to use it properly with our certified, professional instructors.
We are working on restarting our group classes at Bodyscape, that have been on hold due to COVID-19.
Bodyscape features three GYROTONIC® Pulley Towers so small groups can enjoy GYROTONIC® exercise together in a fun and safe setting. Classes include fundamental GYROTONIC® movements along with targeted work each week on key areas like low back, hips, upper body openings and standing work to improve balance and endurance.
We all have ingrained habits we’re not aware of, especially when we stand, walk, bend, drive, use computers/smartphones and even talk! The Technique teaches you how to stop habitual patterns which aren’t useful. You’ll become aware of your own unique habits of unnecessary muscular tension or collapse. Undoing these patterns provides the opportunity for something new to occur: natural movement and spontaneity.
We suggest you start with our Alexander Technique Introductory Package of 3 Private Lessons. Most beginning students will continue their studies one-on-one for 10 to 20 lessons. We also have an Alexander Technique Group Class on Saturdays at 11 am where you build on your foundational skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Proper form and degree of muscular tension are as important as how strenuously or how frequently you exercise. With the Alexander Technique you gain the skills to move with ease and prevent pain while you improve breathing, balance, posture and endurance. Together you and your instructor explore how to solve particular movement problems to optimize your performance. Learning principles of efficient movement enables you to improve overall performance and prevent injury.
