About Pilates


Benefits of Pilates

Be able to do the things you want to do by keeping your body in shape!

Live life to the fullest!

You can read about the amazing 100 years of Pilates History and about Joseph Pilates whole body method. These exercises are done on special equipment and in mat form to improve your health. As you educate yourself, you will realize Pilates is a technique, not a quick fix.

But what if you are not in perfect condition?

Ahh… that is when Pilates’ method really works! I too have permanent injuries and it is only as a result of the Pilates method that I am able to walk up right.

Pilates uses exercises and three principles to achieve maximum results:

  • Whole Body Health
  • Whole Body Commitment
  • Breath

Pilates Equipment

Reformer Machine exercises to help stretch and strengthen the shoulder, chest, back, and abdominal muscles, allowing women to regain full range of motion to those areas affected by breast cancer surgery.

Pilates Reformer

The Pilates equipment is gentle and effective in correcting imperfection of the body. It will provide support so that you can protect areas of your body while strengthening smaller muscle groups that may be out of balance. As I train you, your muscles will become stronger and longer, which will ease joint and injury pain. The whole Pilates method of exercise will bring the body back into its best condition.

Fit for Life

My fitness philosophy: To strengthen the whole body, with a focus on core exercises, to leave you feeling refreshed and energized! The techniques I teach will strengthen you body so that everyday movements are easier and you can participate in your favorite activities such as golf, gardening, or cycling!
