COMMON ASKED QUESTIONS
Pilates is a specific form of therapeutic exercise created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. His method consists of various exercises in a specific order and on a variety of different apparatus, most of which use springs to create tension and resistance for you to push and pull against. Pilates was originally called Contrology, and it’s aim is to gain complete control over your body and all of its movements. Pilates enhances your strength, flexibility, balance and body awareness. Pilates can help you develop better posture, correct old injuries and avoid new injuries, improve your sport performance, tone your muscles and will make you feel energetic, youthful, toned and tall.
Classical Pilates, (as opposed to contemporary Pilates), adheres to the exercises and the method just as Joseph Pilates created it and taught it, (without making up new variations/adaptations/modifications just to entertain you). The method is rigorous, the equipment is traditional, and it works. Contrology in its truest form helps you achieve complete coordination of mind, body and spirit.
Our Studio is Located at 1070 Lakeshore Drive
Pilates really shines when you’re in the studio 2–3 times a week. And truly… three is better than two, two is better than one, and one is absolutely better than nothing. We’re playing the long game here.
If money isn’t a stressor, adding private or duet sessions will fast-track your strength and understanding of the work. But if that’s not in the cards weekly (hi, life), our small group classes will still get you amazing results. You can always pop in for a private every 4–6 weeks, or whenever your schedule and budget say “yes”, to fine-tune things and keep your practice moving forward.
