Pilates Reformer Personal Training

 

In addition to our Pilates Mat classes that can be found on our group fitness schedule, the Healthplex® also offers Pilates training on the reformer. Pilates exercise, especially with the reformer, offers tremendous increases in muscle strength, joint mobility, flexibility and muscle balance. Pilates is also a great way to improve posture and core strength, resulting in the development of long, lean muscles.

 

Lessons are offered as follows:

  • Private lessons
  • Semi-private lessons (two people)
  • Combination packages that include 30 minutes of personal training/30minutes of pilates
  • Group classes (Must have completed three individual sessions as a pre-requisite to taking classes. All group classes are 55 minutes.)

Helpful Guidelines  

  • Eat a light meal at least 2 hours before class.
  • Do not drink beverages with a lot of caffeine prior to class.
  • Come hydrated but do not drink a large amount of water prior to class, bring water to sip during class and drink 16 oz. of water in the first half hour following class.
  • Wear a sweater or something warm which can be removed in case the studio is cool.
  • Yoga is usually practiced in bare feet so that feet do not slip on the mat but please wear socks, again in case room is cool at the beginning or end of class.
  • All yoga classes are 75 minutes or 90 minutes in length.
  • Styles of teachers differ and there are many ways to do any particular asana (pose).
