Pilates
“Change happens through movement, and movement heals.” -Joseph Pilates
Why Pilates?
Pilates is unique – it strengthens the body, improves flexibility, and promotes elongation of muscles. A major component of Pilates is the focus on core strengthening, in order to improve overall posture and alignment. One of the most important benefits of this type of training is that it helps improve performance, such as perfecting skills used in dancing or golfing or recovering after an injury. Some of the equipment used at our location includes the mat, Reformer, Tower, multi chair or wunda chair, and many smaller tools to help strengthen and tone the entire body. This form of exercise is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
Rehabilitation to Wellness
Our team collaborates with the physical therapists at Sternen Physical Therapy to transition you from “Rehabilitation to Wellness”. An introduction to Pilates may begin in your rehabilitation sessions with your physical therapist. As you begin to feel the positive benefits, we believe you will be inspired to move into lifelong improvements through BodyWise Training services.

Private & Duet Sessions
We offer both private and duet sessions that each last 45 minutes. During a private session, you can expect full attention from a certified Pilates instructor that will monitor and modify your exercises. This is specifically beneficial for clients who are transitioning out of physical therapy, are healing from an injury, or are looking for more hands-on assistance. The duet session is available to two clients per session, for a reduced price. The duet session is beneficial for clients who have some Pilates experience and have already created specific goals with a physical therapist or instructor. Please visit our BodyMoves page for more information on pricing and ways to schedule.
