Pilates
Pilates uses a “building block” approach to
each series of exercises. Therefore, there are exercises ready for anyone
at any fitness level. Pilates will help you enjoy daily activities and
sports with greater ease and less chance of injury.
121 trainers emphasize that Pilates is made up of a series
of exercises designed to develop a strong "core," or center
of the body. The core consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with
the muscles closest to the spine. Control of the core is achieved by integrating
the trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle.
Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing
proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration
on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body
feels, where it is in space, and how to control its movement. Proper breathing
is essential, and helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency.
Last but not least, learning to breathe properly can reduce stress.

Assessment
The first fitness assessment
is included in packages of 10 or more sessions.
A person’s body is made up of many different
components. Some of the major components are bone, muscle, organs,
and fat. The amount or percentage of the fat component is of great
interest to most of us. It is what everybody is concerned about
when they think about their appearance, health, fitness, and longevity.
A fitness assessment
includes: |
| 3
minute cardiovascular evaluation (measuring recovery heart rate)
3 muscular endurance assessments
Body dimensions (measuring lean muscle mass)
A skinfold evaluation
Approximately ½ hour in length
If sessions are bought individually, an assessment
must be purchased separately ($80.00).
All assessments should be repeated every 6-10
weeks to evaluate progress and adjust program design.
All payments are due on the date of the first
session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will incur
a charge equal to one session.
Rates are subject to change. Prices will never
change during a purchased training package. Sessions expire after
6 months of the purchase date. |
