Getting Started with Pilates

        

New to Pilates? Pilates can be done “on the mat” or with specialized equipment. It can be done in a group setting, on an individual basis, or with a friend (known as a duet). The choice is up to you. Several factors will affect your Pilates experience:

· Do you like to exercise best on an individual basis or in a group setting?
· Do you have injuries or issues best addressed on an individual basis or by a physical therapist?
· Are you new to mind-body exercise or do you have previous experience with yoga, martial arts or dance?
· What are your fitness goals?
· What is your budget?

Let our staff help you determine what is best for you. Call or stop by the studio. For those interested in individual or duet sessions, just call the studio to schedule an appointment. It is that simple.
