Pilates at The Studio

 

Pilates Schedule and Tuition

   

The programs based on the exercises by Joseph H. Pilates are becoming increasingly popular due to the results its practitioners demonstrate in ability as well as appearance.  By focusing on proper alignment and form, emphasizing quality of movement over quantity, Pilates develops improved postural habits.  The Studio instructors combine the principles from Joseph Pilates with modern knowledge of anatomy and physiology to create a total body workout that improves posture, strengthens, tones, and improves flexibility.

   

Pilates focuses on developing the deep stabilizing muscles of the torso and strengthening the core abdominal muscles, and the supporting muscles of the spinal column.  Pilates is a non-impact, resistance exercise program, eliminating stress on the joints, providing a safe and versatile activity for all ages and fitness levels.  Pilates helps you to achieve optimal strength and flexibility simultaneously; improving your posture, quality and ease of movement.  View this video to discover how Pilates can benefit you.

   

Our instructors have rigorous and thorough training to detect muscular imbalances and postural misalignment.  They are able to fully address the needs of each student-helping them to balance their bodies in a functional manner.  It is extremely important to understand the certification your instructor has completed.  Please review our staff biography section and the information on their certification.  We are the only facility in Southern Maryland to offer extensive equipment training administered by staff with the highest level of training available in the industry.  Visit our Pilates Equipment Page to see videos how the equipment works.

   

In order to provide the individualized attention that  each student deserves, our Group classes are limited to 6 students. We also provide solo, duet, and trio classes on the Reformer, the Trapeze Table, and on the mat as well as complementary equipment.
