pilates:studio A and staff are committed to helping students build a solid Pilates Foundation.
Joseph Pilates believed that the best way to learn Pilates was through private instruction. Because each student learns differently and has unique preferences, pilates:studio A also provides several educational classes for the beginner. During your fist session/class, a trained instructor will assess your level and offer suggestions, advice and a plan to help you achieve your individual goals.
Pilates is about the coordination of movements using the correct muscle groups with focus and form. Frequency of exercise is important when you are first learning the technique. We recommend 3 times per week for the first 2 weeks in order to establish a solid foundation. Discuss your fitness level and goals with one of our certified instructors in order to get started in the most efficient manner.
Pilates equipment is designed to aid you in gaining a solid Pilates foundation. Most participants who attend classes or take private sessions on the equipment will notice dramatic changes within 6-8 weeks by working out just 2-3 days a week with one of our well-trained instructors. We recommend that you try the different Pilates options so that you are best equipped to determine the program that will help you achieve your goals.
pilates:studio A offers a number of small group alternative classes (read below) for you to get started. If you prefer more individualized attention we offer Private and Semi-private Training.
