Reformer

The Reformer is a user-friendly apparatus that places the body in a non-weight bearing supine position. It emphasizes the use of CORE to pull the body's weight on a spring loaded carriage. This action automatically centers you, developing balance, coordination and body/space awareness as it strengthens and stretches your entire body! *Jump boards can be used on the Reformer for a cardio workout!

Tower

The Tower provides a base of support for balance and stability while developing coordination, strength and flexibility. The tower's spring system allows for a greater range of motion than the reformer. This equipment enhances awareness of musculature imbalances and assists in developing
an aligned and uniform body.

CHAIR

The Chair Class increases flexibility, strength, balance and coordination. This fresh and fun work out re-energizes the Pilates group experience with personal training and intelligent exercise. It appeals to both men and women and can be modified or varied according to ability. A great way to restore muscle balance, movement efficiency and build endurance!

JUMPBOARD

The spring resistant carriage will propel you to new heights for an abdominal, leg and arm workout while staying fixed and controlled on your spine. This is core control in its most mindful and invigorating way!
