Pilates Method Training

 

A core-focused, mind / body exercise system based on the principles of Joseph Pilates to develop strength, flexibility and a balanced musculature for a lean, strong and flexible body. This form of strength and flexibility training can be adapted for any level of fitness. The method strengthens the muscles without creating bulk and is often used to aid in preventing and rehabilitating from injuries. Improved posture, balance, and circulation are also achieved through Pilates training.

 

The Balanced Body™ Pilates Studio is a semi-private space just off our Fitness Center. Our experienced, Pilates Certified Trainers can help design a program based on your goals and abilities.

Balanced Body™ Reformer

The Reformer is probably the most famous and versatile piece of Pilates apparatus. It consists of a mat on a bed frame called a carriage, which is attached to springs. Your job, on the Reformer, is to resist those springs. Reformer’s headrest, shoulder blocks, foot bar, and straps give tactile feedback and assist you to perform the exercises more correctly and efficiently.

 

 

Balanced Body™ Tower Reformer

Attached to the Reformer, the Tower allows you more variety of moves with the same efficiency and alignment. In addition to a great option for flexibility training.

Balanced Body™ Trap Table (Cadillac)

A jungle gym of sorts consisting of an elevated mat on top of a long table. It has arm springs, leg springs, a roll back bar to challenge length and spinal articulation, and a push thru bar to challenge shoulder stability and assist stretching. Not only will you tone and strengthen your abs, inner thighs, triceps, glutes and hamstrings, but also challenge your joint stability and flexibility. The Trap Table’s versatility allows for either a gentle or a killer workout, depending on your mood or needs.
